Sinopsis

This book examinesáthe originsáandábasic conceptsáof sociology in Chinaáand traces the disciplineâÇÖs evolutionary trajectory. Building on the premise that qunxue, which goes back to Xunzi,áis essentially the Chinese antecedent of modern/Western sociology, contributors try to show the distinctive ways qunxueáaddresses a wide range of both foundational and practical issues related to society using its own set of conceptual, analytical and methodological apparatus. The book argues that the rise of Chinese sociology will depend crucially on whether the rich heritage of traditional Chinese sociology can be fully appreciated and integrated with the Western tradition of learning.áFollowing two preliminary chapters laying out qunxueâÇÖs basic paramters, the four remaining chapters focus on its four primary concerns: cultivationáof the selfá(xiushen), regulation of the family (qijia), governance of the stateá(zhiguo), and realization of universal peaceá(pingtianxia).
