Michael Puett in conversation with Terry Kleeman: Award-winning Harvard University professor Michael Puett shares his wildly popular course on classical Chinese philosophy, showing us how ancient ideas—like the fallacy of the authentic self—can guide us on the path to a good life today. Why is a course on ancient Chinese philosophers one of the most popular at Harvard? Because it challenges all our modern assumptions about what it takes to flourish. Astonishing teachings emerged 2000 years ago through the work of a succession of Chinese scholars exploring how humans can improve themselves and their society. And what are these counterintuitive ideas? Michael Puett discusses this in conversation with academic Terry Kleeman. #festival #jaipurliteraturefestival #jaipur_lit_fest #literature #literaturefestival #jaipurliteraturefestival2018 #jlf2018
