The Contemporary Mission of Confucianism
Keywords:
Confucianism, Yili, EducationAbstract
Confucianism’s evolution can have an intellectual basis thanks to the formulation of Yili. Confucianism can be practiced with vivid subjects drawn from the education and cultivation of the populace. Criticism of society can provide a method for demonstrating the spirit of Confucianism. The implementation of values is the ultimate goal of Confucianism. Therefore, if society wants to develop Confucianism, practice Confucianism, display the spirit of Confucianism, and achieve the ultimate goal of Confucianism, the elaboration of philosophical principles, the education of the people, criticism of the society, and the implementation of values should naturally become the four major missions of contemporary Confucianism.
