Course Description
From the CTY Course Catalog (2007): This course in intellectual history covers the ideas, images, symbols, and methods of understanding of the three major traditions of ancient Chinese philosophy: Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism (although other philosophies such as Mohism and Legalism may be considered briefly). This course establishes a framework for understanding how each school of thought finds expression within the larger context of Chinese literary, philosophical, religious, and political discourse. Further, students explore the relationship among these three philosophical traditions and the contributions each has made to the evolution of Chinese culture.
