The Sung Dynasty (960-1278) was a time of vast changes and new
challenges in China. The growth of the urban and rural economics,
population increase, the emergence of an educated elite, political
and intellectual ferment, and threats from hostile neighbors are
some of the forces that shaped the age. How did Sung statesmen and
thinkers view the relation of state and society and the role of
political action in solving society's ills? The essays in Ordering
the World explore contemporary ideas underlying policies, programs,
and institutions of the period and examine attitudes toward history
and sources of authority. Their findings have important
implications for our understanding of the neo-Confucian movement in
Sung history and of the Sung in the history of Chinese ideas about
politics and social action. Contents: Introduction by Conrad
