About this book
Examining the evolution of the Confucian doctrine of tianxia (all under heaven), which aspires to a unitary worldview that cherishes global justice and transcends social divides, the contributors show how it has shaped China's political organization, foreign policy, and worldview from the Han dynasty to the present.
Author / Editor information
Ban Wang is William Haas Professor in Chinese Studies at Stanford University and the author of several books, most recently, Illuminations from the Past: Trauma, Memory, and History in Modern China.
Reviews
“Chinese Visions of World Order is the best kind of edited volume; it gives the impression that its diverse array of contributions have been curated rather than commissioned.”
-- Salvatore Babones MCLC Resource Center
"Compiles a fascinating multiplicity of philosophical thoughts and historiographic accounts of the Chinese tianxia . . . . A good read for anyone interested in Chinese intellectual history and philosophy."
-- Nele Noesselt The China Quarterly
