Classical Chinese Philosophy: A Brief Introduction

Throughout this video, I survey a number of thinkers from Classical Chinese philosophy including: Kongzi’s revivalism and virtue ethics, Mozi’s consequentialism and impartial caring, Yang Zhu’s ethical egoism, Mengzi’s Confucianism, The School of Name’s paradoxical argumentation, the Daodejing’s mysticism, the Zhuangzi’s relativism and skepticism, Xunzi’s Confucianism, and Han Feizi’s legalism. In doing so, I intend only to lay the foundations for further study of an all to understudied area of philosophy.
