长久以来,孔子在西方被视作中国古代文明的一个符号。美国的儒学研究从早期新教传教士开始,一直受到中美关系等政治、经济等各种外部因素的影响。在新时代背景下,孔子研究的政治附加意义逐渐淡化,回归到其哲学本质的研究。经过一百多年的发展,美国对孔子学说的研究,从最初的肤浅认识,到今天已成为美国比较哲学研究的一个重要分支。
For a long time, Confucius was regarded as a symbol of ancient Chinese civilization in the West. The study of Confucianism in the United States started from the early Protestant missionaries and was constantly influenced by various external factors such as the political and economic relations between China and the United States. Under the background of the new era, the meaning of political affiliation of Confucius researches is gradually diminished and its return to the study of its philosophical essence. After a hundred years of development, the study of the Confucius doctrine in the United States, from its initial superficial understanding, has become an important branch of the comparative philosophical study in the United States today.
