About this Unit
This unit introduces students to the heritage of Chinese philosophical thought, and briefly traces its historical development. Students read selected works of prominent Chinese thinkers in their original versions, or in modern Chinese or English versions. They are expected to interpret these works in their Chinese context as well as from a western perspective. Students will develop an understanding of the part the various schools of philosophy have played in forming the cultural identity and social reality of traditional and contemporary China. The unit is conducted in Chinese.
