T3 4115 - Ancient East Asian Ideas and the Contemporary World
The ideas of ancient East Asian philosophers, thinkers, and mystics offer us surprising insights into life in the 21st century. In this interdisciplinary course, we read and discuss the foundational texts of the East Asian tradition (including, but not limited to, the classic works of Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism). We look at these writings as historical documents which need to be placed in the context of their times, as creative works to be analyzed as literature, and as living philosophical texts which contain ideas that (potentially) resonate with our own lives.
