Learning Objectives
A student should be able to analyze texts from a theoretic point of view, without giving place to unfounded hypotheses. The lectures on meditation will better her/his mindfulness and insights.
Program
The Course deals with two visionary texts. Jung's book, The Ted Book, which will be the starting point of the analysis, and Zhuangzi's work. Furthermore, the topic will be focused and dealt with in depth through two books, both being written by the teacher: The Red Book of Jung, drawing on both Eastern and Western philosophies and L'innocenza del Tao, dealing with the context producing Taoism in Ancient China. This latter can be replaced with Nakamura's book, Ways Of Thinking In Eastern Peoples (the section on China only). Both Arena's e-books are available inside the e-learning platform.
