This module aims to provide an in-depth understanding of selected Chinese philosophers’ views on politics. It goes beyond the introduction of the fundamental concepts in Chinese political philosophy from pre-Qin to Han, from Han to Song & Ming dynasties to late imperial periods, up to People Republic of China. Most importantly, it familiarises students with the major questions which the Chinese philosophers have been thinking of, for instance: What are the roles and responsibilities of the rulers? What is the ideal form of government? What is the best relationship between people and the state? One of the key focuses of this module is to examine the role played by Chinese intellectuals in the history of Chinese political thoughts. This course will also guide students to evaluate critically the views of Chinese philosophers.
