PHL 104 - Philosophy East & West

Course unit(s): 1
Meets GAR (students beginning prior to Fall 2024): Meets general academic requirement HU and DE.
In this course, we shall explore some of the foundational philosophies of China and of the West. We shall compare world views, focusing on concepts of ‘humanity,’ ‘nature,’ ‘self,’ ‘reality,’ and ‘knowledge’-to explore what similarities, and perhaps more importantly, what differences there are between the ways people have seen themselves in relation to their world in different cultural traditions.
