Description: |
This course introduces the religious and intellectual traditions of classical China and Japan, with a particular emphasis on literary sources and the history of ideas. We begin with the origins of Chinese civilization and proceed chronologically to the development of Chinese Buddhism when we shift our focus to Japan and refocus on Buddhism and the native Shinto Japanese tradition, culmination in the study of Zen. A special emphasis will be placed on the evolution of ideas leading us literally from Confucius to Zen. |
