Topic: Yan Fu


  
  Yan Fu Summary
Yan Fu (Traditional Chinese:嚴復; courtesy name:幾道, Jidao) (December 10 1853–October 27 1921) was a Chinese scholar, most famous for introducing Western thoughts, including Darwin's ideas of "natural selection" and "survival of the fittest", into China during the late 19th century.
It was not until after the Chinese defeat in the First Sino-Japanese War that Yan Fu became famous for his works of the time period.
However, since the publication of that work, "faithfulness, understandability and elegance" has been attributed to Yan Fu as a standard for any good translation, become a cliche in the Chinese academic circle, and raised numorous debates and theses.

  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.
