Abstract: In the heated discussion about humanism in 1980s and thereafter, there are three different opinions pertaining to the Chinese version of the term “humanism”: some suggest Rendao Zhuyi, some Renwen Zhuyi, and others Rendao Zhuyi or Renwen Zhuyi. In fact, since the term “humanism” in Western languages has various meanings, it should be translated into different Chinese expressions proper to specific contexts.
