This course surveys the main thinkers of the classical period of Chinese philosophy (approx. 550-221 B.C.): Kongzi (Confucius), Mozi, Mengzi (Mencius), Laozi, Zhuangzi, Xunzi, and Han Feizi. Over time, these thinkers developed a complex and rich debate about ethics, human nature, moral psychology, and self-cultivation. The positions that they established greatly influenced later Chinese history, including the development of Buddhism, and they influenced philosophical discourse in Japan, Korea, and Vietnam as well. Thus understanding these early debates is an important stepping stone for understanding East Asian thought generally. Readings consist of primary texts in translation, with some secondary literature. No previous knowledge of Chinese language or history is necessary. Course requirements include homework assignments, papers, and an exam. Students registering for 6140 will have an extra discussion section and more substantive reading and writing assignments that are appropriate for the graduate level.
