概述

The instructor for this course is Paloma Muñoz Gómez (潘翊馨), assistant professor from Institute of Philosophy of Mind and Cognition (心智哲學研究所), who holds a PhD in Religious Studies from the University of Queensland. [Course Description] This course introduces students to the history of yoga. Yoga is known to us more readily in contemporary modern practices of yoga studies around the world, yet the origins of yoga give evidence to a complex history intertwined with philosophy and religion. This course introduces students to the history of yoga and the way it has developed, which have led to our current common life engagement with and understanding of modern yoga. [Course Aims] The course aims at developing in students the abilities of critical judgement, analytical thinking, independent research, as well as effective written and oral communication. The course also aims at cultivating understanding of the historical development of philosophical and religious ideas and practices. Involving and engaging students in the diversity of philosophical and religious ideas of India and beyond is also part of the aims of this course
