AI 250 - China: The Other Side

Institution:

DePaul University

Subject:

Description:

China's national admiration for its antiquity is similar to America's zeal for its future. The Chinese go back to its past masters of ideas for insight on the modern world. In this course, we will explore Chinese ideas of humanity, society, and religion by examining three major schools of thought: Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. We will try, as the Chinese saying goes, "to see the entire leopard through looking at one of its spots." Translated Chinese texts, brief lectures, student presentations, debates, Chinese music, films, food, Chinese paintings and calligraphy, and discussions will be used to formulate and compare American and Chinese civilization. Pre-'99 Competencies: HC-1, HC-2, AL-5. BA'99 Competencies: H-1-F, H-1-E, A-3-E. Faculty: Joseph Liang
