    Description
    This course examines major Asian and Pacific philosophies, with focus on metaphysical, epistemological, and ethical questions. Special attention is given to family and the just society, and alternative conceptions of the self, time, and reality are also explored. Asian Pacific thought is an alternative to that of the Occident. These differences manifest in the larger cultural and socio-political contexts of the respective peoples. Students will emerge from this course with a greater understanding of the sources of their own fundamental beliefs. (CSU/UC) (AA/AS-3, CSU-C2, IGETC-3B, Cal-GETC-3B)
