Trade and Diplomacy on the China Coast Yan takes the conception of societies as organisms engaged in an evolutionary struggle for survival, of the state as the nervous system of society, beyond the point where Spencer's commitment to the individual required him to stop, into a vision of the development of those state organs as the ultimate evolutionary goal. Yan Fu was, Schwartz suspects, more of a thinker than a man of action, disgruntlement at the government's perennial failure to make use of his talents notwithstanding. But somehow Yan Fu's discovery of this second, individual level of evolution, with its potential to reverse the prognosis on China, cheers Schwartz as well, so that he leaves the conceptualization of China as an organic entity to Yan himself, and declines to join in Levenson and Wright's gloom. orpheus.ucsd.edu /chinesehistory/pgp/scollon.htm   (2786 words)
