LCST4135 Contemporary Chinese Cultural Philosophy (3 units)
- Medium of Instruction:
- Cantonese
The overall goal of this course is to enhance students' understanding of traditional and contemporary Chinese Culture. The course also aims to open a window into Chinese cultural philosophy and to enlighten students about the profound historical backgrounds, problems and development of Chinese culture since the last century. As Chinese cultural philosophy has its traditional roots and has been developed across the Chinese-speaking world, including Hong Kong, it is meaningful to explore how this field gives a different perspective from the Western tradition in understanding culture and philosophy. Some important schools of contemporary cultural philosophy will be introduced to deepen students' theoretical understanding of Chinese cultural transformation up until the present-day.
