Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

‘From humble beginnings within a small circle of people, Confucianism has grown to be closely associated with virtually every aspect of the countries that have practiced it, whether political, cultural, or societal.’ (Taylor 2004: 3) Confucianism has played a dominant role in many parts of East Asia for more than two thousand years. The focus of this course will be on the history and the main doctrinal tenets of Confucianism in China, Korea, and Japan from its beginnings to modern times.
