Eastern Philosophy

LPHL-382
In this course, students explore the ideas and traditions of the philosophical thinking and spiritual experience of the East, with special emphasis on Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, and Zen. Students examine such concepts as yoga, atman, brahman, nirvana, karma, dharma, avatar, bodhisattva, satori, jen, wen, li, tao, and yin yang. Students will also explore concepts of incarnation and reincarnation and relate these ideas to the world in which we live. As students explore the philosophers of the past and present, they will develop a critical attitude towards the world today and relate philosophical insights to the world in which we live.
