The New Humanism Confucianism-Research On Mei Guangdi’s Philosophy Theory

In the modern transformation of Chinese culture, the "Xue-Heng School" has a very different interpretation of the vision with the New Culture School. This interpretation of vision is a "rectification" on the issue of the New Culture Movement with another "Modernity" position. Among them, the collision between Mei Guangdi’s Confucian modern transformation thought with "the new culture school", presented the problem of the modern transformation of Chinese culture, which May indicate a different way of the modernization transformation with the new culture school. This new way of thinking, this paper is called "the new humanism confucianism"The "new humanism" is proposed by Irving Babbitt,who is the founder of the American new humanism and the main representative. Babbitt’s The New Humanism advocates culture with "moderate" as the core, with "the law of the people" to oppose "the law of things", to restore people’s emotions and moral. Mei Guangdi accepted Babbitt’s "new Confucian movement" proposal, combination the new humanism and the Confucianism, innovated a series of new Confucianism theories From the traditional Confucian school.In this paper, with the pure theoretical manner to research Mei Guangdi’s original literature and document, in order to find Mei Guangdi’s theoretical ideas and its system and its inherent relevance, which refined as the "new humanism Confucianism". It is mainly includes three parts:The first part of the study is the origin of the idea of "new humanism Confucianism". Through a new period of cultural studies on the modern transformation of Chinese culture of academic theory, we found that Mei Guangdi has a different concept of "Modernity" with "the new culture school". This view is that "Modernity" is not the same as "Western modernity", but In Chinese traditional culture also with a modern item. In this context, Mei Guangdi’s vision is a "New Confucian Culture Movement" at the core of Confucian ideas.The second part focuses on Mei Guangdi "new humanism Confucianism" academic connotation. There are two extremely hard missions while reinterpreted Western Cultures by "New Confucianism":one is return to the original code itself to Reinterpretation of Confucianism and all classes of authors, the other is comprehensive introduce Western philosophy especially the Ancient Greek Philosophy.The third part mainly discussed the pursuit of personality of Mei Guangdi’s "new humanism of Confucianism". This pursuit of personality embodied in the Confucian "gentleman" Personality of how to guide the transformation of modern society, and more particularly it relates to new intellectual sense of civic responsibility, the positioning of scholars as well as the Confucianism expand and so on.Through systematic study of the Mei Guangdi’s Confucian ideas of Modern Cultural Transformation, we present his thinking and theory about the era question of "Where should China go?". When we believe that the core of Chinese culture still in to the Confucian tradition, Mei Guangdi’s "new humanism Confucianism" theory may be provide a possible reference.
