A rich variety of religions abound in Central Asia: Zoroastrianism, Sikhism, Jainism, Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism and more! In this course we will use history to consider the philosophies and philosophers that significantly shaped Central Asian history,
culture and relations with the rest of the world in this varied region nestled between the Judeo-Christian west and the Dao-Confucian east.
