neo-Confucianism

<religion> variety of Confucianism that survived as a response to the introduction of Buddhism to China from India. While this is strictly a technical or scholarly term, it helps to be aware that philosophical development occurred in the East as in the West (the changes in Confucianism are similar to the changes in Aristotelianism and Platonism in the West), and that the modern understanding of Confucianism is not necessarily true to the original tenets held by Confucius himself.
