About the Event
Join Vanessa Muscari for the final session in our series on Chinese philosophy, exploring how Buddhism entered China and transformed as it encountered the country’s rich intellectual traditions.From the Four Noble Truths to the Eightfold Path, we’ll study how Buddhist teachings interacted with Confucian and Daoist thought, leading to the development of distinctly Chinese Buddhist schools.
As we wrap up our journey through the major philosophical traditions of ancient China, this talk invites reflections on the rich and enduring tapestry of ideas that have shaped one of the world’s longest-lasting civilizations. It has been an enlightening path, and Vanessa is glad to have shared it with you!
