This sequence of four courses will propose a multi-disciplinary approach to the study of Chinese cultural history conceived of as a succession of modes of rationality (philosophical, bureaucratic, and economic). The focus will be on the moments of paradigm shift from one mode of rationality to another. For each of these moments, cultural facts and artifacts—thought, literature, ritual—will be examined in relationship to changing social, political, and economic systems.

Лучшие отзывы о курсе INTELLECTUAL CHANGE IN EARLY CHINA: WARRING STATES AND HAN
A challenging but rewarding class. Good instructor. I'd like the instructor to show a outline at the beginning of each module.
Very thorough and with a very inspiring and knowledgeable lecturer. Highly recommended!
This is an extremely interesting, informative and inspiring course
Interesting and thought provoking. Would have given 5 stars if there was extra reading provided or recommended beyond the volume used which is too expensive to buy in the UK
