About the Course

This course will give you the cultural and historical background to begin your journey into Korean philosophy, and there is no prerequisite knowledge on philosophy required. Anybody who either has an interest in Korean culture, maybe through K-Dramas or K-pop, or an interest in philosophy from a cross-cultural perspective, are all welcome. Despite the growing interest in Korean culture, there are few courses which explore the fascinating topic of Korean philosophy. On this course, you’ll be introduced to concepts in Korean philosophy through an exploration of the Korean language, culture and perspective. The Korean cultural, social, and political environment has informed and transformed the intellectual assets of China and the West. You’ll explore the creative tensions that Koreans have experienced, and broaden your worldview as you discover a new philosophical approach....

Very interesting course! The material is organised and neatly presented. A great start to dive into the world of Korean philosophy, which, by the way is truly fascinating.

A really helpful course for understanding concepts. However, I have completed my course but didn't get the certificate yet, that is something troubling me about Coursera.

although it's a bit boring there are many things that I get and understand rather than just assuming that philosophy in Korea is the same as Asian philosophy as a whole

A more dynamic (more videos with animations) explaining concepts would make the course more interesting. Maintaining engagement was not very motivating.

It is interesting to know the culture and philosophy of another country but I would have given examples of culture and philosophy in the lessons

Actually, was waiting more from introduction. Instead of literal introduction to Korean Philosophy, there are 3 weeks where same topic is discussed and then last week is about linguistic moments. Moreover, it was painfully awkward videos/lectures overall – was waiting more from lectures from big Korean university.
