DESCRIPTION
This module introduces several schools of philosophy that were developed in ancient China and that have been of outstanding relevance within its entire intellectual history. We will look mainly at the Pre-Qin thinkers, beginning with at the great Confucian masters Confucious (Kongzi), Mencius (Mengzi), Xunzi (Hsun Tzu), and the response given by Mozi. We will then examine the Daoist masterpieces the Daodejing (Tao-Te-Ching) also known as the Laozi (Lao-Tzu) and the Zhuangzi (Chuang Tzu). Finally we will read passages from the Legalist "classic" Hangfeizi (Han Fei Tzu).
