The Asian scholar who, like Aristotle, supported the ethical concept of 'Golden Mean' as applied in communication was: Confucius
Important Points

Confucius, a Chinese philosopher, is known for his concept of the 'Doctrine of the Mean' or Zhong Yong in Chinese.

• This concept has similarities to Aristotle's 'Golden Mean'. Confucius' Doctrine of the Mean advocates for moderation and balance in all actions, and cautions against actions that are excessive or deficient.
• This principle promotes harmony and is seen as a guide to moral living.

In terms of communication, the concept implies maintaining balance and moderation in our verbal and non-verbal exchanges to achieve effective communication.

• It urges avoiding extremes in emotions, language use, and behavior while communicating.

Additional Information

• Ananda Coomaraswamy, Patanjali, and Dao Tsu (perhaps you meant Laozi, the founder of Daoism), although significant in Asian philosophy, are not specifically linked with a concept equivalent to the 'Golden Mean' in the context of communication.
