The History of China Part 3 - The Chinese Philosophers: Confucius, Lao Tse and Sun Tzu.

Join us in the fascinating worlds of Greek mythology, Jewish traditions and Chinese philosophy. On this journey we explore:

Ancient Greece: From the Olympic pantheon to the conquest of Alexander the Great, the Greeks not only shaped the Western world, but created a rich culture with philosophy, art and science. We examine heroes such as Heracles and the importance of deities such as Demeter and Athena. The Trojan War and the expansion across the Mediterranean reveal the geopolitical and mythological dimensions of their history.

Judaism as the nucleus of monotheism: From the patriarchs to the Babylonian captivity, this journey explores the origins and meaning of the Jewish religion. We establish the connections to Christianity and Islam, consider the effects of the Jewish diaspora and the tragic consequences of anti-Semitism up to modern times.

The wisdom of ancient China: With Confucius, Laozi and Sun Tzu we follow in the footsteps of a way of thinking that focuses on harmony, strategic action and a sense of moral responsibility. The discovery of Chinese philosophy by the West during the Enlightenment led to a new appreciation of this ancient wisdom.
