【Course Objectives】

Students read and promote their understanding of the representative chapters from Tao Te Ching.

【Course Contents】

Tao Te Ching is a text of only 5,000 characters, with its authorship and date of composition debated, but it is the most commented masterpiece of Chinese literature, a mysterious work that reflects, like a mirror, a path which any person, be it a warrior, a politician, a commoner, anyone aiming to achieve immortality, should follow. Students read the representative chapters from Tao Te Ching, and learn how Chinese people perceived the world, history and body through the contents of "like water, like females, like babies", while also comparing it to other ideas.
 The class consists of the report from the person in charge of the day and whole class exchange opinions. The person in charge carefully reads their part, does research if needed, and gives an oral explanation in class.
