People’s Faith and the 2nd Age of Enlightenment

The Future Order of Chinese and Global Culture

Abstract

Socrates established mankind’s "dualistic one and many" (一多二元) faith, morality and spiritual life. But the first problematic denies the belief, morality and spirituality of "dualistic one and many" and is contrary to the construction of the "new virtue" of individualism. It goes on to distort faith, abandon morals, lose spiritual life, invent a new "dualistic" myth and assumes the "individual" to move believe a new superstition. The globalization of human life is leading to a new order of world culture, and the internationalization of Confucianism will promote the 2nd Age of Enlightenment. It is the cultural awakening of Western post-modern awareness (which is the critique of western modernity and the awakening of tradition) and the eastern civilization and thought, to break free from the “Dualistic One and Many" dominant ideology that is individualism, towards a people-centric, 2nd Age of Enlightenment through the “Indivisible One and Many” (一多不分) belief, moral code and spiritual life..
