The links above contain vital course information. Please read them carefully.

Course Plan:  Instruction in this course is divided into thirds, roughly chronologically.  The first part will survey enduring themes in Chinese culture, as well as the Confucian and Daoist texts that have formed its bedrock.  The second will examine Chinese religion between the Sui and Sung Dynasties, and the developments in Japanese religion in that same time.  The final section will look at the way religious ideas are connected to East Asian culture and practice, and the way that religion has influenced modern East Asian culture, and been transformed by it.
