Fu Jen School

[2] The development of Christian philosophy in the Far East is marked by significant historical milestones that integrate philosophical connotations from various civilizations.

During the Ming Dynasty, the introduction of Catholicism and its philosophical underpinnings to China was spearheaded by Jesuit missionaries such as Matteo Ricci (1553-1610).

[3] Building on this rich heritage, in 1961, Paul Yu Pin, advancing the intellectual mission of Fu Jen Catholic University, established the earliest graduate institute of philosophy in Taiwan.

He formulated a new university motto: "Truth, Goodness, Beauty, Sanctity," and set in motion the development of the Fu Jen Philosophy Department.

This department became the singular hub of Scholasticism in Taiwan, driven by Yu Pin's philosophical theories, particularly the "Three Kinds of Knowing" (三知論).
