Abstract

During the modern bourgeois revolution of China, Liu Shipei devoted himself to the modernization of ethics.

His thought takes on obvious charateristics of anti-feudalism and is helpful to shape the modern ideal personality. It exerts positive influence on the modernization of traditional ethics of China.
