Instructor(s): M. Poli
Credit: 1
The legacy of Confucius in Chinese culture is overwhelming, inside and outside China. Within China, Confucius is presented as the father of the nation; Confucianism is described as a way of life, a philosophy, a religion, or all three combined. Outside China, “Confucius†is used as a synonym with “Chineseâ€, as in the culinary TV show “Confucius was a foodie.†Who was Confucius, and what did he really say? In this class, we will understand how the legend of Confucius was created. While the course focuses in particular on the texts associated with his figure, such as the Analects, the Book of Odes, and newly discovered manuscripts, we will also study depictions of Confucius and discuss the philosophical principles associated with him.
