La piedad filial en La Celestina: una interpretación desde la perspectiva del confucianismo

摘要

Parent-child relationships are one of the core points which frame many of the events in Fernando de Rojas' work. The importance of these relationships wasn't at all exclusive to Spanish society. Confucianist belief possesses a word which describes these relationships, xiào (?), usually translated as filial piety, that is one of its teachings and traditions' more important aspects. Although parent-child relationships in Celestina have been widely studied from several standpoints, the interpretation of these from the perspective of East Asian social ethics remains largely unstudied. The goal of this article is to analyze several aspects of those relationships in the work through the viewpoints of several authors, study them and compare them with the prescripts set in classical Confucian texts.
