Course Description
This course uses a multi-disciplinary approach to study Chinese cultural history through philosophical, socio-political, and economic processes of rationalization. The focus is on the moments of paradigm shift from one mode of rationality to another. For each of these moments, cultural facts and artifacts of thought, literature, ritual, are examined in relationship to changing social, political, and economic systems. Topics vary and this semester covers the periods of the Warring States (481-221 BCE) and the Six Dynasties (220-589 CE). The first laid the social and cultural foundations for the emergence of the imperial mode of rationality; the second saw the Buddhist conquest of China and the emergence of a rationality defined by the opposition of the Three Teachings to shamanism, that is, of a clear contrast between elite and popular culture.
