Abstract

Traditional religious face of modern rational thought and the impact of science and technology, spirituality or transcendence is not the pursuit of this disappeared. In addition to the myth of the rational society to resolve the curse does not mean that people no longer touch the soul longing and fulfillment. Modern civilization and traditional culture, although expression of the change, but human nature itself, there are still deep spiritual needs or transcendent longing. The face of contemporary philosophy of religion and religious considerable progress in theoretical studies, the traditional home of the pioneering work of modern theories of religion is indeed faced with a challenging situation gave birth to many new possibilities. The author of the College in the teachings of the religious philosophy, Confucianism and specifically the Christian religion as New scope. Subparagraphs, the author of three representative scholars of the religious views of modern philosophy to Review: Contemporary Neo-Confucian humanism Professor Mou's moral religion is a form of the human Mind Confucianism; Catholic Archbishop Law of God in this light doctrine, is a fusion of Christian philosophy of life; Contemporary Neo-Confucianism Professor Tang Junyi's harmony humanism, Confucianism belongs to return to Heaven. Authors implicitly try to these three religious interpreted Heaven placed in a modern interpretation of the teachings of dialectical framework developed. While traditional religious faith is impacted by modern rational thinking and scientific technology, people nonetheless pursue spirituality or transcendence. The fact that mythology is disenchanted by the rationalization of the society does not mean people no more aspire to be touched and satisfied deep within their souls. Though modern culture is different from traditional culture in the way of expression, there is still profound spiritual need or transcendental aspiration within human nature or human culture itself. In face of the great progresses made by contemporary religious philosophy and modern religious theories, the pioneering of the modern theories of traditional local religions is indeed confronted with a brand new situation full of challenges and possibilities. In view of the research on the doctrines of religious philosophy in the academic circle, the writer studies particularly Confucianism and Christianity, Here, we list and comment on the religious views of three representative scholars of modern philosophy. The humanist moral religion of the New-Confucian, Zong-san Mo, is a humanist Confucianism informed by the doctrine of mind; Archbishop Kuang Lo's theism is a Christianity fused philosophy of life ; and the complete humanism of Professor Chun-yi Tang, a contemporary New-Confucian, is a Confucianism that returns to the unity of heaven and man. The writer implicitly tries to fit the three religious interpretations appropriately into the doctrinal framework of the modern dialectical interpretations about the unity of heaven and man
