Annotation:

A 2010 course by Mark Unno at the University of Oregon “examines three East Asian views of how human, animals, society, and nature are related within their respective worldviews . . . as it is found in key passages in the texts of three classical Chinese and Japanese figures: Mencius the Confucian . . . Zhuangzi the Daoist . . . and Shinran the Pure Land Buddhist.” The work of Temple Grandin is also analyzed.
