Central concerns of Confucianism are self-understanding and self-cultivation, by which one shapes the self into a responsible person and helps one to make a life for oneself in the company of others. In response to the challenge of Taoism and Buddhism, which called into question the substantial nature of the self, thinkers in later centuries greatly expanded their view of the individual through discussions of "learning for one's self", or "getting the Way of oneself." Neo-Confucian concepts are considered by Wm Theodore de Bary in relation to the social, political, and scholarly roles of educated men in late imperial China.
