New Confucianism (當代新儒學 or 當代新儒學 "Contemporary New Confucianism") is a new movement of Confucianism since the twentieth century. Not to be confused with Neo-Confucianism (宋明新儒家 "Song-Ming Neo-Confucianism").
The term itself seems to have been first used in the 1970s and was not found before the 1980s.
New Confucians include:
- Tu Wei-ming of the Boston Confucians
- American New Confucians include Professors Roger Ames -- renowned for his philosophical translations of Confucian texts -- and Professor Brian Van Norden at Vassar, who presents a virtue theory model of Confucianism.
