Course Description:
This course focuses on reading the Classics on Chinese philosophy, with intensive study of the important philosophical texts, ranging from the pre-Qin China to modern China. The texts can be divided into two main parts, the pre-Qin texts, and the texts afterwards. Emphasis is placed not merely upon the original thinking reflected in the original texts, but also upon their relevance and updated versions in the modern context. More than an intellectual exploration of Chinese philosophy, this course helps students to understand the Chinese way of thinking and living, from the past to the present, in a more meaningful way.
