CHN330: The Chinese Classics
This unit focuses on reading and interpreting classic Chinese texts, in particular the philosophical works originated from some major schools of thought in ancient China. A selection of Chinese canonical texts, especially the Confucian Four Books and Five Classics are read and discussed. Traditionally these texts were the subject of mandatory study by Confucian scholars who wished to become government officials, and no doubt have been sources of the Chinese cultural and political foundation for more than 2000 years. Other philosophical texts, such as the Daode Jing and the Zhuangzi are also introduced. Classes are in English.
