Problem: Hanover Discuss philosophies of Confucianism, Legalism, and Daoism (Taoism) in the context of imperial Chinese rule. How did they view human nature and morality? Under what context did each arise? In what ways did each challenge/reinforce the ruling political establishment? How did their understandings of politics and morality compare with Roman (Greek) notions of Stoicism and Epicureanism? What did Confucianism teach with regard to women's place in Chinese society?
