Course Descriptions

This course introduces students to specific themes and approaches of understanding Chinese civilization and its legacies in historical perspectives through the Westerners’ eyes. It explores the question of what constitutes “China” from a variety of conventional European-inspired historical perspectives, and testifies a multiplicity of intellectual thoughts and attitudes that Westerners have brought to their attempts to deal with the phenomenon of China. At the end of the course, students are expected to have developed a critical reading and thinking ability to explore the universal values, attitudes, and the way how the West has understood China in the context of West-dominated historical narratives.
