Abstract

The social organization that holds men together is an important form of human adaptation to the environment. Its discrete structure is dependent on moral codes and legal systems as well as on man’s capacity to deal with nature. Social organization ensures that individuals perform their proper functions. It is the basis for the division of labour and the division of consumption. Man is a social as well as knowledge-equipped animal. The social organization of any highly evolved civilization is not a mere consequence of ‘natural’ evolution. Its structure is largely a result of conscious efforts, built on the basis of philosophies. Democratic institutions are built on the philosophy of liberty rather than a consequence of ‘naturally-formed habits’. In China, traditional social organization was largely framed by Confucianism.
