I added another module on the list for this semester because I need to take three six thousand level modules in total, but there will Bo no enough module for choosing next semester, so I have to do it this term. The module I added is prof. Hansen's philosophical Chinese which is about interpretation of dao de jing in term of linguistic theory. Hansen has his own perspective about the interpretation of ancient Chinese philosophy which asserts that the proper way of interpreting ancient philosophy is which character is the originally correct one but which character we should choose for a proper interpretation of these text. In fact, he is a skeptic upon whether there is the authoritative interpretation because it is impossible for our modern people to represent the original meaning of these original text. I think this module will help me know more comparative philosophy and talk about Chinese philosophy in English. My supervisor supports my decision.
However, I have to make myself well prepared for the big challenge before me: five lessons each week and hands of relevant assignments. Fighting.
