Course Description
Students will examine great thinkers of the East and the West, from ancient to modern times. While students will read selections from works such as the Bhagavad Gita and the I Ching, they will also read excerpts by such philosophers as Buddha, Lao-Tse, Muhammed, Gandhi, Socrates, Locke, Rousseau, deBeauvoir, and Marx. Much of the reading will be "on-line." Students will also use the Internet for discussion and course work, including research and other activities. A key theme of the course will be to examine the similarities and differences between Eastern and Western thinkers. Students will conclude the course with individual research and preparation of a project about a "thinker" of their choice.
