Day One: Tuesday, May 12, 2015• Quiet Question: Type Two Prompt---One of the themes of this course has been

to learn from the past to be better leaders and decision-makers for the future. Sometimes students have a hard time applying religious or philosophical ideas to the contemporary world. So we are going to read an article from Forbes Magazine that applies Confucius’ ideas. You are to follow along and use Active Reading Strategies as the teacher reads it aloud. Then you and your partner using your notes from the last lesson will answer the Reflection Questions.

• Reflection Questions:• a)What are the three main ideas of Confucius addressed in this reading?• b)Looking back at the other THREE East Asian Philosophies, identify AT LEAST

ONE IDEA for each that is applicable to the world today and explain why with examples.

How is a man to live in a world dominated by chaos, suffering, and absurdity??

SHINTO• Shinto is animistic and polytheistic,

and devotees worship the Kami deities and spirits, and ancestors.

• Japan’s indigenous and largest religion.

• It is syncretic with Buddhism.• During the Meiji Period, Shinto was

declared Japan’s official state religion, and the religion of the Emperor.

• There are three main types:• SHRINE SHINTO• SECT SHINTO• FOLK SHINTO

Day One: Tuesday, May 12, 2015• Class: In China from ancient times until the 20th century, the people applied their religious

philosophies to their governments through the concept of the Mandate of Heaven. This was established by the Zhou Dynasty in 1045 BC to justify the overthrowing of the previous government.

• • A mandate is a command. So the Zhou said that the deities in heaven ordered the Zhou to

overthrow the previous Shang ruler. According to the Mandate of Heaven, the king and all later emperors ruled by divine right. Their power came from the gods.

• • In time, this theory was expanded. Rulers did not always act in the best interest of the people,

so the Mandate of Heaven gave the people the right to rebel and overthrow the corrupt and ineffective ruler. The result was the dynastic cycle that allowed the rise, rule, and then fall of a dynasty over a number of years. And the Mandate of Heaven became the basis for the way the Chinese changed their rulers.

• • This is illustrated in the following flowcharts. So when the Europeans came to China under

imperialism and exerted control over the current ineffective Chinese emperor, the Mandate of Heaven came into play once again.

Day One: Tuesday, May 12, 2015• With this lesson,
