About this course

East Asian Studies and World Philosophies is a combination that asks some of the deepest questions about how human beings have understood existence, knowledge, ethics, and society, and answers them not from a single tradition but from across the world's major intellectual cultures. East Asian studies brings you into contact with the histories, languages, literatures, and contemporary dynamics of China, Japan, Korea, and their neighbours. World philosophies takes this comparative impulse further, examining philosophical traditions from across Asia, Africa, and the Americas alongside the Western canon, and asking what philosophy looks like when it is not assumed to begin in ancient Greece. Studying at the School of Oriental and African Studies, an institution with unrivalled depth in Asian and African scholarship, you will benefit from specialist teaching across both disciplines.
