英文名称 Flower in the Mirror: the Chinese and his Values
先修课程 NO
中文简介 本课程为中文授课。
英文简介 The present course helps investigate the realm of values in which a Chinese approaches his family, love life, friends, education, career, and serious issues like nature, space, time, and inevitably, life and death.  Texts cover a wide range of sources including classical and contemporary literature, social wisdoms and folklores, ancient philosophies and latest twitter discussions.  In passing, there will also be substantial discussions on how a Chinese waves his lances of values and gropes for his identity in the postmodern maelstrom of information, globalization and political economy. It thus aims at a comprehensive understanding of Chinese values in the comparative light of tradition and individuality and of the Chinese in the eyes of other peoples and cultures and vice versa.
