Taiwan scholasticism was brought not from mainland China but from Europe by Chinese priests who had studied in Europe before People's Republic of China was founded in 1949. These priests could neither serve their own parishes in mainland China nor come to Taiwan, where the church in Taiwan was not really established. It was not until 1961, when the Roman church set up three new parishes (Hsinchu, Chiayi and Tainan), that Lo Kuang and Tu Pao-chin-the Bishop of Tainan and the Bishop of Hsinchu-brought their Chinese colleagues and students from Pontifical Urbaniana University along when they came to Taiwan. Together they started the development of Taiwan scholasticism, and Bishop Lo Kuang, in particular, formed the atmosphere for the development of scholasticism by publishing the predecessor of UNIVERSITAS and founding Catholic Window Press and the Monastery of S. Pius X. The appearance of Taiwan scholasticism was made in 1970, when the doctoral program of philosophy was formed at Fu Jen University; then the local research, the comparative study between scholasticism and Chinese philosophy along with the comparative study between scholasticism and Buddhism formed gradually a trend. In 1978, Bishop Lo Kuang became the president of Fu Jen University ; he not only valued the department of philosophy and the education of philosophy but also made UNIVERSITAS the center of the research and development of Taiwan scholasticism. The horizons of Taiwan scholasticism include the Concilium □cumenicum Vaticanum Secundum, Pope Jean-Paul II and the spirit of traditional Chinese philosophy, generally covering three level s: humanistic, comprehensive and universal meanings and values. In the framework of Taiwan scholasticism, the system is always the concrete method to practice theories; American educational philosopher Knight used to accuse contemporary philosophy of including merely metaphysics, epistemology and ethic s while ignoring the universality and comprehensiveness of systematic philosophy, as he believed that a philosophical system should consist in three parts: contents, attitudes and activities. Having developed for more than fifty years, the problems that Taiwan scholasticism encountered are basically related to western philosophy. Taiwan scholasticism should assimilate Chinese and western scholasticisms by understanding them profoundly, learning their respective methodologies, developing their respective strengths and pointing out the possibilities for their futures.
