- Authors
Zhao Tingyang
- Abstract
The article focuses on the issues pertaining to Confucian theory. It mentions that the thoughts on the Confucian system of interpersonal relationships by Fei Xiaotong indicated that the Confucian theory of social cooperation directs itself to an unsettled paradox pointing out that there is a lack of universal theoretical construction present in the system of Confucian moral. It discusses that Confucian theory does not lengthen beyond practical circumstances. In its replace, its universal principle always vanish away from practical circumstances. Confucianism failed to reflect on its flaws because of its long established position in mainstream dialogue but its paradox has been exposed in the face of modern challenges.
