This course examines the central concerns, historic contexts and foundational themes of the diverse philosophical traditions of South and East Asia, including Confucianism, Taoism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Shintoism. Although some attention is given to Western ideas to which Asian thinkers have responded, the main emphasis is given to the different kinds of questions that have engaged Asian thinkers.
