About This Topic

 

Ironically, the definition of the term “definition essay” is not very specific.  Definition essays are short pieces of writing on a particular topic.  However, not every essay on a topic can be properly labeled a definition essay.  Instead, a definition essay is an attempt to describe the topic thoroughly enough for the reader to understand it very well and might be compared to an encyclopedia entry for the topic.  Any of our example essays could provide a good start on a definition essay about the topic.  However, we have collected a sample of our best definition essays and included them below to help you explore the genre.

The concept of the superior man in Confucianism and Taoism
In both Confucianism and Taoism, there exists a concept called the "Superior Man." In essence, the superior man is one who is able to lead his life in a way that allows him to be both completely whole and at peace with himself and his actions in a variety of circumstances. While this concept maintains the same foundations in each religion, the superior man differs somewhat between its Confucian and Taoist uses. In order to view the similarities and differences between the two versions, one must first understand the basic definitions and principles that exist within Confucianism and Taoism. In understanding the basis for this ideal within each religion, one can better understand why this standard of living was modeled after in these differing religions, as well as garner an understanding of why the concept of the superior man is still studied and valued today.
