Rethink Chinese political tradition with Alan T. Wood’s exploration of Sung Neo-Confucianism and the origins of political rights. Challenging the view that Northern Sung thinkers advocated for autocracy, this book argues they invoked universal moral laws to limit imperial power, much like Western concepts of natural law. Gain profound insights into historical governance and human rights in China. Essential for students and scholars of Chinese history, political philosophy, and comparative thought seeking a nuanced understanding of power and rights across civilizations.
