This course will present critical discussion of issues
central to Neo-Confucian (11th-19th centuries C.E.)
philosophers that in many cases are still central in Chinese
thought today. Topics will include the relation between
knowledge and action, Neo-Confucian conceptions of idealism
and materialism, and the connection between Neo-Confucian
philosophy and spirituality.
MAJOR READINGS
Primary texts by the Neo-Confucians, such
as Chan, trans., REFLECTIONS ON THINGS AT HAND; Gardner,
trans., LEARNING TO BE A SAGE; Chan, trans., INSTRUCTIONS
FOR PRACTICAL LIVING.
EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
Four papers will be required:
two brief expositions of a position or argument and two
longer critical discussions.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS and/or COMMENTS
No prior knowledge
of China or philosophy is assumed. Careful reading of each
day's assignments and participation in class discussion of
the readings is expected and performance in these areas will
affect grades.
Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting
or communicate directly with the instructor prior to the
first class, they will be dropped from the class list.

to the Registrar's Office.
