This course adopts a historical-cultural approach to the study of Korea, illustrating how the new concepts of the various social sciences enable us to better understand an unfamiliar culture in the world-historical context, and thus to reexamine the received views of Asia in general as "irrational," "stagnant," and unable to develop modern science and economic system.
