However, the idea of republican virtues that has prevailed for 200 years in the US as it says in the book needs to be discussed and questioned. The problem lies in that the idea of republican virtues cannot differ civil virtues from personal virtues because it emphasizes the former while ignores the latter; with dense Protestantism hue, the idea of republican virtues cannot cover Christian good ethics and while mentioning civil virtues, it cannot elaborate the basic values understood by republicans. Therefore, the republican virtues in American history have their limits for they do not include personal consummation. In comparison, the personal virtues in Confucian tradition are much thicker.

In this sense, Sander accepts Chens critics. But he also raises some questions to Chen, including the relationship between politics and personal virtue in Confucian tradition. In the conclusive responses on the International Symposium of “Sander and Chinese Philosophy”, Sander introduces four themes, which may have connection with the Confucian tradition, i.e. reflecting the dominant understanding of an “unencumbered self”, the idea of good life, politics and virtue, and nature. He suggests to move from current “comparative dialogue” to “collaborative dialogue” in the international communication so that different traditions can have a better mutual understanding of their central texts and ways of thinking.
