Asian Philosophy
(PHLG 3760)

Astrid O'Brien

This course focuses on the non-theistic world views of India, China and Japan: specifically the Vedas, Vedanta, Jainism, Buddhism (Theravada, Mahayana and Tibetan), Taoism, and Confucianism. These traditions will be considered as paths to the truth that brings self-mastery and beatitude to the sincere seeker.
