Community-based survey of Chinese thought as represented in texts of Zhou through early Han periods (circa 1000 to 100 BCE), with focus on invention of Confucian tradition (including Five Classics) and on defenses of that tradition against challenges from Mohists, Taoists, and other groups of thinkers. Service learning component includes meaningful work with community partners, such as local schools, selected in advance by instructor.
