| Summary: | 博士 === 國立中央大學 === 哲學研究所 === 102 === Between 1949 and 1960, Confucianism is really in Taiwan, because communism advocated by China, but after 1980, the China open gradually with the economic reforms, they turn back to study Confucianism, whether for political or for academic. Even after 2000, a new generation whom born after the Cultural Revolution, research on the Chinese philosophy have results gradually, add with historical identity, people draw an equal sign that Chinese philosophy is China , then Confucian scholars in Taiwan, where their academic places are?
Prof. Chen Zhao-ying in the foreword of Taiwan Confucianism mention:
Taiwan Confucianism as a new discourse to mention, of course, is an interesting attempt about the Confucian study, but also solves my inner emotion between Taiwan and China. Taiwan Confucianism shows the root consciousness, the local consciousness, and universal value of Confucianism. Confucianism in Taiwan shows the combine between local culture and Confucianism universal.
The concept of Taiwan Confucianism first put forward by Prof. Chen Zhao-ying, as she said, this “Taiwan Confucianism” is to solve the tangled emotion between Taiwan and China. Therefore, my article is according this feeling to start. Then discuss the problems of Taiwan Confucianism.
Taiwan combination cultural and historical background extends the problems between "Elite Confucianism " and " Vulgar Confucianism". "Elite Confucianism" refers to these scholars that inherited the traditional Chinese culture, such as Zhu Xi, Wang Yangming ...... and so on." Vulgar Confucianism" within the meaning of the concept of the traditional Confucian arising because of regional popular culture of life .This compatibility and estrangement reflect the issue of cultural, geographical, and ideological.
In my paper, the first should be clarified that the concept of "Elite Confucian" and "Vulgar Confucianism ", thereby extend out the identity transformation for intellectuals. Then discussion the "College" culture which show the compatibility between "Elite Confucianism" and "Vulgar Confucianism" .Finally export the Taiwan's value in "East Asian Confucianism" and what academic topics can be research.
Therefore, my paper topic is The Compatibility and Estrangement of "Elite Confucianism" and " Vulgar Confucianism" in Taiwan, there are four issues should be discussed: First, the definition of "Elite Confucianism" and "Vulgar Confucianism" in Taiwan. Second, fieldpermit and focus make the changes of Taiwan intellectuals. Third, the compatibility and estrangement of "Elite Confucianism" and "Vulgar Confucianism". Fourth, what value and research direction in "East Asian Confucianism" of Taiwan Confucianism.
So, my paper accord the four issues divided into five chapters to discuss, and finally to the conclusion.
