Today the field of political theory is rapidly growing beyond the realm of the "western canonical" in finding non-western intellectual resources to expand the sphere of cross-cultural conversation. An important part of this conversation is about finding alternative perspectives in understanding concepts that are widely shared by exploring different modes of thinking in various culture contexts. This course introduces you to the great intellectual tradition of Chinese political thinking.
