| Short Title: | Philosophies Of China |
| Description: | This course is a study of Chinese philosophical traditions beginning with Confucius and those who followed him, such as Mencius and Hsun-tzu, in contrast to Legalism, Taoism and the School of Mo-tzu. From Taoism we will study the writings of Leo-tzu, Chuang-tzu and other Taoist and Neo-Taoist philosophers. Taoism in synthesis with Buddhism yields Ch/an (Zen). We will explore Taoist/Buddhist dialectic in the evolution of Zen. The synthesis of Ch?an and Taoism with Confucianism yields Neo-Confucianism. We will study the process of integrating the Buddhist/Taoist synthesis into Confucianism philosophical understanding as we read from the Neo-Confucian sources. The course will follow this historical process into modern times. |
