Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course will cover major topics in classical Chinese thought emphasizing Confucianism and Daoism. It is intended to be introductory, so knowledge of Chinese will not be required (though it would be useful). Students will be evaluated on the basis of attendance/participation, an in-class presentation, a comparative (Western & Chinese) essay, and a final essay on debates within Chinese philosophy itself. The course will be conducted in English, so students should be skilled at listening and speaking. Written assignments will be accepted in either English or German.

Student attendance is required, unless prior approval is obtained. Students are encouraged to come up with their own essay questions/topics in consultation with the instructor, however pre-formulated questions/topics are ready for assignment, should the need arise. Students will also be responsible for making one short presentation introducing a topic from one or more of the texts being discussed in class (presentations to be assigned on an ad-hoc basis). Finally, students will also be responsible for a presentation of their initial work on their final paper during the final class sessions.
