Philosophy 223 - I.or II.Asian Philosophy

Institution:

St Lawrence University

Subject:

Description:

An introduction to some of the major thinkers and themes of the philosophies of India, China and Japan. The major themes - self and ethics - require us to think in a different frameworkfrom that of the Western tradition: for instance, whereas the East emphasizes the ethical, the West stresses the logical and epistemological; whereas the West seeks out a methodology, the East inquires after a path. Students are encouraged to think in these non-Western frameworks; however, we also make reference to ideas and themes in Western philosophy to aid understanding of the traditions. Also offered through Asian Studies.
