Description

There are many significant concepts underlying contemporary Chinese thought which have their origin in the classical Chinese schools of thought from pre-Confucian times. This course critically examines some of these concepts, such as the Confucian jen (humanity) and li (rules of propriety); and the Taoist tao and wu-wei (non-action).
