Abstract Among different types of vitalism in modern China, LIANG Shu-ming’s vitalism focuses on the evolution of all the different kinds of living beings with emphasis on human beings, especially the evolution of their ethical and spiritual life, more specifically, the creation of Confucian ethical life and spirit. In the construction of his ethical vitalism, Liang takes Confucian ethical tradition and value of “law in this world” as foundation, and vests the ideas of life, intuition, reason, evolution, creation, spirituality, which normally are not vested with ethical values, with Confucian ethical values. Furthermore, Liang’s thought is also influenced by the “law for leaving this world”from Buddhism, and his ethical vitalism makes promise for the evolution in the future. LIANG Shu-ming’s reflection on life, ethical life and mind, and even the mentality from psychology, is never restricted in the present, but within a long time frame. The way of life, mind, and spirit is how they evolve.
