Political science
This class is about East Asian Thought in Comparative Perspective)
The goal of this course is to provide an analytic introduction to the
East Asian political tradition and its lasting legacies for the
contemporary world. The rapid economic development of East Asia since
1950 has generated an enormous and often polemical debate concerning
East Asia’s future global role. Much of this hinges on the question of
globalization, and the extent to which East Asia will or will not become
part of a “global culture.” Unfortunately, a good deal of this
discussion is logically and empirically flawed, as it assumes East Asia
will become more like the West rather than becoming, in a sense, more
intensively “East Asia.” Moreover, the globalization argument assumes
that all cultures and institutions must conform to a common model,
something completely unsupported by any real evidence. Given the
decisive and problematic status of the one-world hypothesis, it is
necessary to reconsider this whole debate by focusing on those cultural
and behavioral similarities and differences that have historically
characterized the East Asian and Western traditions. That is the purpose
of this course, and the lectures will accordingly focus on the core
values and traditions of East Asia’s thought in the comparative
perspective.
