Dilemma And Breakthrough Of Confucian Culture In The Scientific And Technological Progress

With the establishment and improvement of the new political system and new production mechanism of China, Chinese cultural spirit is to be followed to establish. Inheritance and innovation are the necessary conditions of the establision of new culture, but those need to achieve the transformation of traditional culture. Culture should have two properties:On one hand, it should adapt to the means of production and the new social system, and on the other hand it should make a deepening and completing reaction on the two finished in turn, both of which are indispensable. From this, no single culture is used as ornaments. It must be a practical in the past, and then turn to utility service. If not, their culture, like a castle in the air, is a false culture, not vitality.This article discusses the production, development and the spirit of the essence of Confucian culture, and, but also analyzes the dilemma essence to and the reconstruction of Confucian culture from both endogenous and exogenous. Confucian culture is a culture of authoritarian, patriarchal culture, and ethical culture whose cognitive characteristics are based on the thinking of intuition and experience. Confucian culture is the feudal system of ethical culture which froms on the basis of the authoritarian regime and agricultural civilization, which becomes the negative block of development of China’s modernization in the modern. Because rationality, freedom and democracy are the driving force of social development in the modern scientific and technological progress, the development and reconstruction of Confucian culture must comply with the spirit of the times and social progress. In the future development, Confucian culture must be able to fit with the scientific spirit, freedom and democracy, for that its reconstruction and value can be truly realized.We have to use a dialectical approach to treat the inheritance and development of traditional culture. On one hand, if the traditional culture is revived overally, China will move toward the community backwards, then we can not achieve social modernization and revitalization of China ultimately. On the other hand, if the traditional culture is denied totally, we will go into errors of cultural nihilism, then lose the ethnic culture and the power of modern development. Therefore, we should take the historical responsibility and the responsible attitude on the future to study the culture, the modern value and the breakthrough of Confucianism.
