Chinese and World Philosophies

About this course

Chinese and world philosophies is a degree that takes seriously a question that Western academic philosophy has often sidelined: what does the intellectual world look like if you include the major philosophical traditions of China and East Asia alongside those of Greece, Europe, and the modern West? Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, and the many schools of classical Chinese thought represent sophisticated and extensive bodies of reflection on ethics, politics, knowledge, mind, and the good life, and engaging with them alongside Western philosophy produces a genuinely broader and more critical philosophical education. This four-year full-time programme at the School of Oriental and African Studies includes a foundation year, providing additional preparatory support for students who need more time to develop their academic skills and background knowledge before the main degree begins.
