Is Tu Wei-ming confucian?
No full textTu Wei-ming\u27s discourse has been badly understood by some Western philosophers who study Confucianism. I suggest that this misunderstanding stems from the fact that these philosophers fail to realize that Confucian discourse is in an entirely different register from Western philosophical discourse. I then propose my own preliminary definition of Confucian discourse in five points and present a structural analysis of a text by Tu Wei-ming. Finally, I consider which features of Tu\u27s discourse can properly be called Confucian. The answer to this question reflects not only on Tu but also on Confucian discourse and the study of Confucianism in general. © 2007 Springer Science+Business Media B.V
Naujojo konfucianizmo politinė filosofija: Tu Wei-mingo pasitikėjimu grįsta bendruomenė
No full textThis paper engages with the thought of the contemporary New Confucian and Harvard scholar Tu Wei-ming. Its particular focus is on what could be termed “New Confucian Political Philosophy.” Yet, is it appropriate to speak of a specific political philosophy within Confucianism, or, more specifically, within its 20th century successor New Confucianism? Is it fit to use familiar categories of political philosophy such as liberal-communitarian, individual-society, or democratic-authoritarian in order to scrutinise New Confucianism? Taking questions such as these seriously, this paper starts with some important methodological issues and only then turns to Tu Wei-ming’s proposal of a fiduciary community, that is, of a community of trust. Among other issues, the Confucian family, self-cultivation, and the concept of politics as rectification are discussed. At the end, Tu Wei-ming’s ideas of how to make this Confucian sense of politics and of community contribute to contemporary political philosophy are briefly addressed.Šiame straipsnyje bus aptariamos Naujojo konfucianizmo atstovo, Harvardo universiteto profesoriaus Tu Wei-mingo filosofinės idėjos, konkrečiau tariant, vadinamoji “Naujojo konfucianizmo politinė filosofija”. Vis dėlto ar yra teisinga kalbėti apie atskirą politinės filosofijos krypti, įžvelgiamą konfucianizme, o tiksliau, vieno iš XX a. Naujojo konfucianizmo sekėjų darbuose? Ar analizuojant Naująjį konfucianizmą tinka vartoti tokias politinės filosofijos sąvokas kaip liberalumas ir bendruomeniškumas, individas ir visuomenė arba demokratiškumas ir autoritariškumas? Atsižvelgiant į šiuos klausimus, šio straipsnio pradžioje bus gvildenamos kai kurios svarbios metodologinės problemos, o tik paskui bus apsistota prie Tu Wei-mingo idėjos apie pasitikėjimu gristą bendruomenę. Be kita ko, čia bus aptariamos ir konfucianistinės šeimos, saviugdos, politikos kaip “taisymo” sampratos. Straipsnio pabaigoje bus svarstoma, kaip Tu Wei-mingo konfucianistinės politikos ir bendruomenės sampratos gali būti pritaikytos šiuolaikinei politinei filosofijai
New Confucian Political Philosophy – Tu Wei-ming's Fiduciary Community

The Spiritual Crisis of Modernity and Tu Wei-Ming'S Concept of Self-Cultivation
No full textThis article dwells upon the spiritual problems in modern Chinese society. The term 'spirituality' covers not only the value of ethical categories on the traditional China, but also the humanism as the tandem of both religious and ethical components towards human beings. The basic categories of Confucian ethics, 'reinterpreted' through the tradition of analytical philosophy, have acquired a new character - Tu Wei-ming gave them the new understanding through the concept of Self-Cultivation. The process of cultivating occurs for the sake of the human involved into that and is not caused by any external factors
[Review of] Tu Wei-ming,ed. The Living Tree: The Changing Meaning of Being Chinese Today
Full text linkThis book evolved from the spring, 1991 special issue of “Daedalus, the Proceedings of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences . Tu Wei-ming presents a collection of perspectives of the Chinese identity. These essays stand alone well, some are more relevant and better written than others (as will be addressed in this review), but they collectively fail to provide a coherent unified interpretation. The chapter topics are somewhat related but the continuity among them is weak (which should not be interpreted as a shortcoming of the individual chapter authors)

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
