This course aims to introduce students to a critical examination of important works of Sinology from Europe, America, Japan and/or Korea. It seeks to provide an understanding of their fundamental viewpoint, methodological approach and contribution to the field. Through this study, students will be able to discover the ways in which Chinese scholarship was approached by overseas scholars, to critically evaluate such works, and to gain a comparative approach in their own studies of Chinese culture.
