The Development of the Chinese Humanistic Spirit

Pages 39-71 | Published online: 18 Dec 2014
 

Abstract

In one sense, all academic thoughts are human ideas, and all cultures are productions of man. Therefore, the spirit of all human cultures is always humanistic. To discuss any kind of academic thoughts is to discuss the ideas of man. Speaking in this way, however, we cannot reveal and illuminate the meaning of such terms as "humanistic thought" or "humanistic spirit" because of the lack of contradistinctions. We must then say that, in addition to humanistic thought or spirit, there are also human thoughts or spirit which are nonhumanistic, super-humanistic, subhumanistic, and even antihumanistic.
