Karl Dittrich Hall, Student Services Centre, Bonnefantenstraat 2
What does China think? We all own products labelled “Made in China”, and yet there isn’t an easy answer to this question. This series tries to provide an answer with the help of the central concept of the Way (Dao): the correct manner in which you can govern the state and lead your life. You will become acquainted with the seminal insights of Confucianism, Daoism and Buddhism: the “three main streams” that dominated Chinese thinking for ages.
These philosophies are still highly relevant today and encourage man to continually improve himself. You will also immerse yourself in the thinking of modern Chinese philosophers and their dialogue with our philosophy: how can East and West help each other along the Way?
