Course Syllabus

Abstract

'Intellectual Change in Early China: Warring States and Han' is an online course available on platform 'Coursera': https://www.coursera.org/learn/intellectual-change-early-china-the-warring-states-han . The course will cover the periods of the Warring States (481-256 BCE) and the Period of Division (220-589 CE), with a brief excursion into the Han (206 BCE-220 CE). The Warring States laid the social and cultural foundations for the emergence of the imperial mode of rationality; the Period of Division saw the Buddhist “conquest” of China and the emergence of a rationality defined by the opposition of the Three Teachings to shamanism, that is, of a clear contrast between elite and popular culture.
