The article is devoted to the philosophy of the well-known ancient Chinese sage Confucius paying attention to the Western misunderstandings of it. The fundamental differences between Chinese and Western civilizations, the problem of transcendence, and different attitude towards history are discussed in the text. Being neither a religion nor a philosophy in the strict Western sense of the word, Confucian thinking still finds its parallels among Western philosophies. The article faces the phenomenological task to discover concrete modes of awareness, their active engagements, and their correlate contents that are sufficiently broad and founding to cut across diverse disciplinary and cultural phenomena. This brief essay is a step in that direction with explicit commitment to Confucian explication and continuity of Chinese civilization. Despite variations and different levels of interpretation, a common context between Confucius and Western philosophical trends may be found.

The article is designed to demonstrate that the Western modern life world is constituted by the reconstruction of the natural environment in accordance with formal logical rules that are not derivable from contingent facts. Logical rules are selected as techniques in terms of their value to fulfill "needs" and hence to shape the environment into a "technical life world" that becomes globalized as "scientific" demanding that the life worlds of the others develop to become modern and technical. This means that the globalized technical life world is not a set of facts but signitive systems of logical, non-temporal and non-spacial vectors of "communication" taking precedence over the material-productive levels of any society.

Santrauka Šiame straipsnyje parodoma, kaip Vakarų modernusis gyvenamasis pasaulis steigiamas, rekonstruojant gamtos aplinką, pagal formalias logikos taisykles, kurios nėra išvedamos iš atsitiktinių faktų. Logikos taisyklės yra atrinktos kaip technikos pagal jų gebą patenkinti "poreikius" ir drauge formuoti aplinką kaip "techninį gyvenamąjį pasaulį", kuris tampa globalizuotas kaip "mokslinis". Toks pasaulis reikalauja, kad kitų gyvenamieji pasauliai taptų modernūs ir techniniai. Tai reiškia, kad globalizuotas techninis pasaulis nėra faktų rinkinys, bet reikšmingos loginių, nelaikiškų ir neerdviškų "komunikacijos" vektorių sistemos, iškylančios virš bet kokios visuomenės medžiaginių gamybinių klodų.
