Abstract:

By tracing back to the concept of ‘Empathy’,we can find the similarities among care ethics,Confucianism and Marxism,which will promote the internal integration between the modern transformation of traditional Confucianism and the Sinification of Marxist philosophy,and the collaborative innovation of Chinese and western moral cultures as well.Philosophical and social ways in Marxist receptivity should be absorbed so that the modern internal-to-external transformation of traditional Confucianism could be achieved,and the development of Marxist receptivity in China should also absorb the moral and psychological ways in traditional Confucianism to realize the external-to-internal transformation.Both the modern transformation of traditional Confucianism and the development of Marxism should be rooted in the life world of the forming ecological new acquaintance society under the background of globalization.It is under this life world that the integration and innovation of care ethics,Confucianism and Marxist philosophy in receptivity could be achieved,and that human being’s receptivity liberated.

Key words: empathy, receptivity, care ethics, Confucianism, Marx
