      abstract = {This book examines the origins and basic concepts of  sociology in China and traces the disciplines evolutionary  trajectory. Building on the premise that qunxue, which goes  back to Xunzi, is essentially the Chinese antecedent of  modern/Western sociology, contributors try to show the  distinctive ways qunxue addresses 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. Following two preliminary chapters laying out  qunxues basic paramters, the four remaining chapters focus  on its four primary concerns: cultivation of the self  (xiushen), regulation of the family (qijia), governance of  the state (zhiguo), and realization of universal peace  (pingtianxia).},
