Abstract

The paper studies the specifics of modern Confucianism, its relationship with Chinese Marxism and the influence of Confucianism on the reforms initiated in the 1970s by Deng Xiaoping. In China, since the beginning of civilization as the cumulative spiritual experience of society, the philosophical doctrines become the key normative component of human's mental and material activities and his relations with the state, social institutions and family. The most important philosophical teaching of China for two and a half millennia has been Confucianism, which includes philosophical, sociopolitical, ethical, and religious components. The modern People's Republic of China is a socialist state in which Marxism-Leninism as an ideology is harmoniously combined with the traditional philosophical doctrine - Confucianism.
