LS30新孟儒学

Neomencianism (or the “Neo-Mencian” school) is a modern ideological and philosophical framework that reinterprets the teachings of the ancient Chinese philosopher Mencius to address contemporary economic and political issues. [1, 2]

The concept generally surfaces in two primary contexts:
1. Mainland Chinese Political & Economic Philosophy
Within contemporary discourse, “Neo-Mencianism” (新孟学 or 新孟儒学) is an ideological framework that uses the teachings of Mencius as a primary lens to critique modern capitalism and shape alternative socio-political systems.

• Historical Triad: It proposes a theoretical progression from the slave-owning era(易人), to the modern capitalist wage system (易力), and ultimately to a cooperative Mencian system of shared labor and exchange (易事).
• The “Three Stages” of Confucianism: Proponents view this ideology as a “third wave” of Confucian thought, spanning the original texts of Confucius and Mencius, the Neo-Confucianism of Zhu Xi, and the political framework of Mao Zedong.
• Primary Source: You can read a comprehensive compilation of these philosophical concepts and dialogues in the Academia.edu Discussion on Neo-Mencianism. [2, 3, 4, 5]

2. International Relations & Virtue Ethics
In Western academia, the term is occasionally used to describe a political philosophy or foreign policy approach based on Mencius’s ideal of benevolent governance (仁政).

• International Relations: It has been utilized by political scientists, such as Jeremy Paltiel, to analyze China’s foreign policy and regionalization strategies, assessing whether they reflect “Neo-Mencian benevolence” or an illiberal internationalism.
• Virtue Ethics: In comparative philosophy, it serves as a modern framework of virtue ethics (similar to neo-Aristotelian naturalism) that champions Mencius’s original thesis that human nature is innately good and requires moral cultivation. [6, 8, 9]
