This Specialization is designed for learners who wish to broaden their understanding of Korean philosophy through diverse and engaging topics. It is ideal for those interested in exploring how philosophical ideas are expressed in culture, emotions, politics, and comparative thought. Through five courses, you will examine how Korean philosophy develops across different domains. You will first explore the philosophical dimensions of Korean music, understanding how aesthetics and moral cultivation are closely connected. You will then engage with Seongho Yi Ik’s innovative interpretation of human emotions, focusing on both understanding and cultivating emotional life. The Specialization also introduces key discussions in Korean political thought, highlighting their historical development and contemporary relevance. Finally, you will encounter a comparative perspective by examining major East Asian thinkers, exploring how Korean philosophy reinterprets shared traditions. By the end of this Specialization, you will gain a deeper appreciation of Korean philosophy as a dynamic tradition that offers meaningful insights into human life, society, and culture.

Great course if you're interested in Korean culture and diving into origins of how Korean's "think". Elements of K-drama's and K-pop songs can be traced through the history and music of Korea.

This was a great course that broadened my understanding of not only just Korean music, but of music itself as well!
great
The course content is excellent. However, sometimes I find the instructor's accent difficult to understand (for reference, I am a non-English speaker.) It might be better to have them lecture in Korean with English subtitles instead. Thanks!
