PHL 321 Daoist Philosophy and Religion
This course is an introduction to the philosophy and religion of Daoism (Taoism). It will emphasize the cross-cultural comparison of philosophical traditions, methods and commitments. This course has an experiential learning component: In addition to our study of texts, we will practice Daoist meditation techniques and qigong (i.e., Chinese yoga-like body practices) inside and outside of class. The practices will be modified for those who are physically unable to perform them.
