Confucianism (儒家 Pinyin: rújiā "The School of the Scholars"), sometimes translated as the School of Literati, is an East Asian ethical and philosophical system originally developed from the teachings of Confucius.
With Confucianism firmly ensconsed in the minds of the Chinese people and their politicians, the philosophy became the country's foremost, and no serious attempt to replace it came until the advent of Communism in the 20th century.
The various forms of Confucianism that attempt to reconcile it with modernity are known as New Confucianism (not to be confused with the Neo-Confucianism of the Song dynasty).

 Encyclopedia: Confucianism
Confucianism as passed down to the 20th and 21st centuries derives primarily from the school of the Neo-Confucians, led by Zhu Xi, who gave Confucianism renewed vigour in the Song and later dynasties.
Confucianism survived its suppression during the Qin Dynasty partly thanks to the discovery of a trove of Confucian classics hidden in the walls of a scholar's house.
As a result Confucianism was promoted and the corporation of men it produced became an effective counter to the remaining landowner aristocrats otherwise threatening the unity of the state.

Allen: "The best known of the North American New Confucians is Tu Wei-ming, a professor of Chinese history and philosophy at Harvard and the director of the prestigious Harvard-Yenching Institute.

We'll also look at the issues raised by the tension between "logical" and "historical" readings of the texts, and try to understand how Confucianism might be re-interpreted in light of 20th century trends in philosophy and religion, as well as social, economic, and political developments in the modern world.
In so doing, we'll aim at two things: how to understand the possible compatibility of "Confucianism" and "Taoism," and how this understanding might be aided by recent re-interpretations of these texts by modern thinkers in light of late 20th-century trends in philosophy and religion.
