Overview Section 1 Overview 06 07 Pursue Truth and Embody Social Justice Righteousness Wisdom The University Motto Humanity Propriety The four cardinal virtues - humanity, righteousness, propriety and wisdom - express humankind’s four inherent spiritual elements of spirit, action, conscience, and intellect. Humanity abides in the heart that loves, righteousness abides in the heart that knows right from wrong, propriety abides in the heart that knows forbearance, and wisdom abides in the heart that perceives. Confucian philosophy attests to humankind's innate goodness, and at the same time recognizes that this quality must nevertheless be awakened and nurtured. These four principles, which comprise SKKU's philosophy of instruction, are the basis for higher goals in the search for truth as well as the establishment of social justice, which are in turn, based on humanity.
