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.

TOP REVIEWS FROM 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.
Fascinating course on an era of intellectual change .Those Ancient elite literati knew a thing or two about how to use propaganda and ritual.
Very thorough and with a very inspiring and knowledgeable lecturer. Highly recommended!
This is an extremely interesting, informative and inspiring course
