Features: This book is dedicated to the era mission of constructing China's ethical culture in the new century and the specific requirement of summarizing the positive and negative experiences of ethical cultural construction over the past century. It attempts to systematically study and reflect on the developmental characteristics and ethical thoughts of the three major ethical trends in China: liberal Westernization, modern New Confucianism, and Chinese Marxism, from both macro and micro perspectives. It argues that to build Chinese ethical culture, Marxism must serve as the guiding principle, a comprehensive cleanup and exploration of traditional ethical culture with Confucianism as its core must be carried out, and modern Western ethical culture must be learned from and absorbed. The book combines historical analysis with theoretical discussion, making it highly valuable in terms of theory and academia. It has been recommended by the Graduate Education Office of the Ministry of Education as a teaching material for postgraduate studies.
