thought has positioned Beida as a progressive center that has produced
many modern Chinese thinkers and as an influential actor in the
modernization of China. The tradition of intellectual inquiry underlying
the transformation of Beida over time provides valuable lessons for

Comparative Philosophy: China and the West
Hosted by Peking University
4 – 29 July, 2011
As China grows economically, politically, and culturally, the
importance of Chinese culture and Chinese identity in the 21st Century is fast
gaining interest from students around the world. This 4 week course will closely
examine the early dialogues of Plato (Euthyphro and Phaedo), as well as
representative tests of Confucius (the Book of changes, Traditional Chinese
Medicine and Tang Junyi on Chinese natural cosmology). Students will gain a greater appreciation of
Chinese philosophy, and be able to juxtapose lessons from its Western
counterpart. Read more >>
