On Criticism of Confucius and Self-Criticism of My Past Ideological Inclination to Honor Confucius

The Academic Journal of Peking University No. 4 of this year carried in its "Philosophy and Social Science Section" Mr. Feng Yu-lan's two articles entitled "On Criticism of Confucius and Self-Criticism of My Past Ideological Inclination To Honor Confucius" and "The Struggle between the Two Lines for and against the Restoration of the Old Order." In his articles, while criticizing the reactionary thought of Confucius, he also criticized his past ideological inclination to honor Confucius and to give publicity to the "abstract law of inheritance" with regard to the legacy of Chinese philosophy. This is progress that deserves to be welcomed. These two articles will be reproduced by this paper today and tomorrow for the reference of the reading public.
