Third, evaluation
This chapter is about the relationship between learning and thinking. In some previous chapters, Confucius has mentioned the understanding that "learning without thinking is useless, and thinking without learning is dangerous", which has been further developed and expounded here. Thinking is a rational activity, which has two functions. First, if we find that words and deeds are inconsistent or violate morality, we must correct them. On the other hand, we should check whether our words and deeds conform to moral standards and stick to them. But learning and thinking can't be neglected. Learning without thinking is useless. It is also dangerous to think without learning. In short, the combination of thinking and learning can make you a virtuous and learned person. This is an integral part of Confucius' educational thought.
