Both were quite similar in their beliefs. But Confucius had supporters, although Aristotle's was a private theory.

Explanation:

We learn that Aristotle teaches people the promotion of morality. His theory is very pragmatic. Practical concepts, how people should live and communicate in unity, have been the cornerstone of Chinese theory. In reality,

Aristotle was regarded by the Chinese to be the Confucius of the West. They both spent their lives trying to enhance the virtues of their generations .

Considering the Four Cardinal Virtues of Aristotle:

  1. Rationality, which is also regarded as practical wisdom.
  2. Temperance, or self-control
  3. Courage  
  4. Justice means offering to the adversary what is owed to them in the right way; it is similar to Righteousness.

Confucius discusses the same principles: (Ren, Yi, Shu, Zhi, Xin, and Li: these are Chinese)

  1. Ren: Goodness.
  2. Yi:  Equality
  3. Shu: Clear rules of ethics
  4. Zhi: Dignity
  5. Xin: Bravery
  6. Li: truthful and honest  

So, they're more of alike and different.
