Abstract

The article examines the anthropological views of the three Taiwanese scholars: Hu Shih, Mou Zongsan and Xu Fuguan. They belong to different sectors of the ideological spectrum: Hu Shih was a representative of liberal thought, while Mou Zongsan and Xu Fuguan made a great contribution to the formation of contemporary Confucianism. These three philosophers are united not only by the refusal to recognize the Marxist ideology, but also by the desire, in the face of a severe spiritual crisis in Chinese culture, to modernize Chinese thought, preserving its traditional specificity and uniqueness. In their works there were formed special views on the problem of the human in the frame of the synthesis of Western and Chinese thought.
