As a representative figure of the New Confucianism in the mainland, Mr. Meng Peiyuan has always been concerned about the religious issues of Confucianism. At this point, he not only inherited his teacher, Master Rongyoulan, who used “Heaven” as the universe and his energy to take “Liuhe Realm” as a place to live in peace and prosperity, but also inherited the new Confucianism and religion in Hong Kong. Hence, he introduced new things and proposed a unique Confucian natural religious theory, which was a unique tree in the development of modern Confucianism. There are few discussions in the academic community here. This article attempts to assess the landscape proposed by its natural religious statements, as well as the meaning of the transformation from humanistic religion to natural religious statements, and strives to draw the overall framework of its natural religious statements, and finally fall into the ability and real meaning of sufficient development of Confucian natural religions, in order to promote the further development of the research on related issues.
1. The proposal that Confucianism is a natural religion
Mong Master Meng first proposed that Confucianism is a natural religion. It was a statement on the “Confucianism and Religion – Contemporary Chinese Thought Forum” organized by institutions such as the Institute of Philosophy of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences on February 7, 2002. Teacher Meng said:
Confucianism’s energy is humanistic and humanistic. I also criticize this. I also said that Confucianism is a religion with humanistic meaning. Now, I think because it values human values, I think this kind of humanistic religion can also be regarded as a natural religion, or perhaps called natural theology. [1]
Men’s teacher asked questions about natural religion and natural theology, not only Song Wei was stunned for a moment, but then he pursed his lips and smiled, “Chen Jubai, you are so stupid.” He has a strong real concern for a pure scientific consideration. Teacher Meng said in his forum:
This cosmic energy is headed in nature, in people, in thousands of things. And everyone, every thing, everything, has the energy of destiny in it. It is such a form, so I say it can be called a natural theology. This natural theology has a value in it, faith and worship. It has the so-called world view and cosmic view.sweetmeet.com/”>Integrity A foundation. We need this now. When we face natural, we are intact to accept the sensualism of the East, the so-called cognitive sensualism, and treat nature as complete without any life, without any death. This is what is called “good charm”, “good charm” by Max Veber, the “good charm” of the world, a characteristic of modernity is the “good charm” of the world, without any secret nature, without any sacredness, Female College Students’ Care ClubNature is a thing that passed away. You provide me with information and motivation. I am just obeying you, and you are in vain. Isn’t that what you do now? This is the whole human being now, and this is modernity. The master has already seen the consequences of such a thing very clearly. So, in this case, do we want it? It is called the “return to the world”? It is back to the past CarbageIndustrial and premodern civilization left to meBased on the price Do we want the energy of ours? I think the world and nature are not something that modern sensuality can fully recognize. It is definitely mysterious and sacred, so I talk about Confucian religious theology on this meaning, so we must treat nature well and treat human beings well. This problem is 博官网 is a serious and realistic problem. This is a religious energy, which is what is called ecological religion. [2]
Finally, the master teacher teaches natural theology, natural The proposal of religion is a call for the world’s “return to charm” to cure the modern “return to charm”. It should be further explained that the convening of “Confucianism and Religion – Contemporary China Thought Forum” has a landscape [3], that is, another major discussion on the religious issues of Confucianism that were in full swing at that time. This discussion began in 2011 In October, Chen Yongming, Wang Jian and Li Shen and others launched Confucianism and whether Confucianism could be religious on Confucius’ website 2000. This battle became a hot spot in the academic world and gradually extended from online media to academic journals. Therefore, the forum of “Confucianism and Religion” of the Institute of Philosophy of the Academy of Social Sciences was held, and Tang Yijie, Yu Dunkang, Mou Jingyan and Meng Peiyuan were all in Among the students. The “Confucianism and Religious Problems” launched by the Internet is a concern of the Mengshu teachers. The disputes of relevant scholars have triggered the further thinking of the Mengshu teachers on this issue, and finally proposed the view of Confucianism as a natural religion. After the meeting, the “History of Chinese Philosophy” magazine invited departmental scholars to write an article about “Confucianism and Religion”The question is about to be discussed. The topic of the article “How to Understand the Religious Nature of Confucianism” by Meng Teachers is published in the 2002 “History of Chinese Philosophy” No. 2. The title of the draft article was found on February 10, 2002. Shortly after the meeting was held, the article was called again:
I once thought that Confucianism is a humanistic religion (this was not first proposed by me). Does this statement seem to be a paradox of “the circle of squares”? It is both a humanistic theory, but how about religion?
There is no doubt that humanism is about human subject and solves human problems, such as human nature and life value; however, in addition to having these ordinary characteristics, the humanistic theory of Confucianism also has the characteristics of being different from the Eastern humanistic theory. This is the basic condition of inclusive contract. When Confucian discusses human problems, it never dismisses the basic condition of human beings and natural relationships (i.e., “the international between heaven and man”). This means that man cannot exist as much as leaving the natural world. Human problems must be solved in the relationship between man and nature. In other words, it must solve the problem of man’s position and mission in nature.
Confucianism has multiple levels of content and is a whole, but in terms of philosophy, it is not a system for understanding and treating knowledge, not treating nature as objects, but treating nature as the origin of life and value. Therefore, it has a deep sense of awe. This is exactly a kind of religious feeling. Philosophy and religion are connected. It is precisely from this meaning that Confucianism can also be said to be a natural religion. [4]
In the same year, in 2002, the second issue of “Confucianism” published the “Is Confucianism a Religion” by Meng Teacher Zhuang? 》, the article “The rumor” was published in this article for this Confucian religious issues. The time for searching the draft topic of this article was March 2, 2001, and the dispute has not yet begun. From this, it can be seen that the problems of Confucianism and religion have always been in the focus of the Chief Mentor. In this article, the Mengshu teacher still advocated that Zhang Confucianism is a “humanistic religion” and did not put forward the term “natural religion”. He said:
So, Confucianism is not a strict religion, nor is it a pure social politics. It is a humanistic theory, but it contains in-depth religious energy, which can be called a humanistic religion. Advantages and Disadvantages of ConfucianismAll points are all in this. The debate on whether Confucianism is a religion cannot be resolved for a long time, and this is the reason. [5]
The reason why the natural religious statement emphasized the concept of the concept was to explain that the Mengshu teacher proposed this statement in an anti-respectful and meditation-oriented manner, rather than a quick speech at the meeting. In the article “The Characteristics of Confucian Humanism” published in the first issue of “Hunan Social Sciences”, the first issue of “Hunan Social Sciences”, the Meng Master said again:
Confucian philosophy attaches great importance to and emphasizes the problem of spirituality, but spirituality must be solved within the basic framework of “the international between heaven and man TC:
