Between Anti-tradition and Return-to-tradition:The Construction of Knowledge Acquisition Through Conscience by Tang Junyi and Mou Zongsan
In the face of the gradual spread of Western culture in modern times and the impact and challenges on national culture,the attitude of the"contemporary neo-Confucianism"towards tradition is to exclude various conflicting views with doubts and does not associate with those who advocate complete Westernization.Instead,it chooses to stand on the foundation of fine cultur-al traditions,and then absorbs the excellent aspects of Western culture,so as to learn from and compensate for each other's strengths and weaknesses respectively,and thus enhance the vitality and connotation of our national culture.Based on this princi-ple,both Tang Junyi and Mou Zongsan have put forward a series of profound discussions and responses.In short,it is based on the establishment of conscience,goodness of nature and personality,to absorb and combine the traditional knowledge,science,religion,etc.of Western learning,create the connection between moral knowledge and perceptual knowledge,and achieve the goal of advancing together humanistic spirit and material civilization with the times.
