This course introduces students to major moral 
traditions (for example: Hinduism, Buddhism, 
Confucianism, Daoism, Shinto, or Bushido) in Asia. 
Close attention is given to basic values and ethical 
categories (for example: karma, samsara, moksha, 
dharma, ren, li, or dao) that have informed Asian 
moral discourse with special reference to the pivotal 
role of these values and categories in shaping social, 
economic, and political life in Asian societies.
