Modernity And Confucian Mind School

The modernity of China is transplanted from the West, it is not the natural thing bom from Chinese culture. Many contemporary Neo-confucians have been exploring in the field of how to accept and answer the problem of modernity, and constructing their own metaphysics. Based on the comprehension of "The Culture of Heart", Xu Fuguan proposed the unique conception of "Xing Er Zhong Xue" to destruct metaphysics.Xu Fuguan regarded "The Culture of Heart" as the foundation of re-constructing modernity in China. By means of explaining "The Culture of Heart", Xu Fuguan illuminated that the culture of China hold not only the spirit of science and democracy, but also the animadversion spirit of answering and resolving the modernity crisis.Xu Fuguan took the animadversion spirit of "Conservatism to defend conventional moral principles, liberalism to discuss politics" as the cut-in point which link the culture of China and modernity. He thought that the kismet fall to be the origin of value, which is humanity. The humanity is naturally good, which can educe that the people are trusty and can be treated as the subject in polity. Therefore, the democracy because of the compelling force has groundwork in China after it is swung in with moral consciousness. The character of merging conservatism and liberalism, which was incarnated, is the opinion of "return to Confucius' thinking character" and "construct the ancient depend on modern". These two contestations supplement each other, and they are the way to build our native modernity.
