Already almost halfway through the week! Another half day. I don’t like it– we’re not spending enough time together 🙁
1/22 Quick Write:
Today we are considering the questions:
- What is the best way to have peace and order in a society?
- How should a government rule?
These are the questions that people in the Zhou Dynasty began to ask during a time of violence and instability, known as the Warring States Period.
It is these questions that will lead us to the three philosophies of government that we will discuss in depth this week.
Once we are familiar with these ways of living and ruling (you hopefully remember something about Confucianism already!!), we will compare and contrast the effectiveness of each.
Have a good day… normal schedule tomorrow… yay!
