PHIL 240 — Philosophy East and West
This course will examine classic philosophical questions concerning the nature of the self; interpersonal, social, and political relationships with others; and the fundamental nature of realty as they are articulated in dominant Asian philosophical traditions, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Daoism, as well as influential Western philosophical thinkers. Critical attention will be paid to the difficulties, nuances, and responsibilities involved in the pursuit of cross-cultural and comparative philosophy.
