Abstract

In the eyes of Feng Youlan,philosophy is neither utilitarian nor applicable to the realm of reality.However,the theory of object-oriented programming in computer science shares many similarities with the philosophical thoughts embodied in Feng Youlan's book Neo-Confucianism.By comparison of the similarities and difference between the two,we will understand that philosophy is likely to be applied to the realm of reality rather than just the realm of truth.
