HIST 2301 - Introduction to Asian Civilizations

Institution:

Hawaii Pacific University

Subject:

Description:

The objective of the course is to introduce essential features of the traditions of selected Asian civilizations, settingthem in historical contexts that make them both comprehensible and revealing of human experience. We will explore the exchange among these civilizations and the influence of that exchange on their historical development. As we shall see, that exchange was not limited to Asia. Given the diversity of these cultures and the length of their histories, comprehensive surveys will not be possible. Selected in-depth topics will provide the interested student with a lasting grasp of both the common and the uncommon features of these Asian civilizations. Pre: WRI 1100 or WRI 1150
