This class presents an overview of Korean philosophy and religions in Korean history from the ancient period to the late 19th century. This class covers diverse religious and philosophical topics such as shamanism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Christianity (mostly Catholics) within the historical context. Thus this class will show that Korean religions and philosophy in pre-modern Korean history forms a universal world heritage, a topic that has worth studying. Thus, in this class, we will probe the historical trajectory of Korean experiences in terms of religions and philosophies with the comparative perspectives.
Students are expected to participate in lively discussions with careful reading of weekly assigned materials (mostly secondary sources), and to enjoy the original thoughts of Koreans in religions and philosophies.
