The main purpose of this article is to search for common understandings of human rights in Taiwanese social context embedded in Confucian cultural heritages from the practice of implementing human rights education in schools. Through engaging in a dialogue between the universality of human rights and Confucian values, it is hoped to find a way of understanding the theory and practices of human rights within the context of particular cultural heritages and yet to reflect the universal applicability of this way of understanding.
