Abstract
The article presents the revision of Sinology and reconstruction of Chinese culture in the Neo-Confucian manifesto in 1958. It is notes that “The New Confucians” associated misconceptions of Western history and philosophy of Chinese culture with the three main approaches of Western Sinology: religious-idealistic and rational approach of Christian missionaries; first Western sinologists created the myth of Chinese antiquity (archaism of modernity); the political motivation of Western studies of China. The paper describes the methodological approach of “The New Confucians” to the study of Chinese culture, which is based on sympathy and respect for her. The article analyzes the doctrine of “mind-nature” (心性, xīnxìng) as the basis of all theories of Chinese culture and a special kind of Confucian transcendence (“immanent transcendence”). It describes differences of Chinese and Western culture in the analysis of “The New Confucians”, as well as their ideas of connection of Chinese philosophy fundamental propositions and achievements of Western civilization.
