Feng Youlan (died 1990), contemporary Chinese philosopher. This is such an interesting attempt to synthesize Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism with Western philosophy. He is also known as a historian of Chinese philosophy. Feng Yulan studied in Beijing, and then in the United States, at Columbia University, after which he returned to China.

Tu Weiming is a neo-Confucian, grew up and started studying philosophy in Taiwan, then studied at Princeton, taught a lot in the United States, and is quite popular. The Internet Philosophical Encyclopedia calls him “one of the most famous Chinese Confucian philosophers of the 20th and 21st centuries.” He has interesting works, for example, about Eastern philosophy and ecological thinking and the dialogue of civilizations. In general, he writes on various topics. Like Feng Yulan, he tries to integrate Chinese and Western philosophies.
