HUMN303 Introduction to the Humanities
The Chinese moral order (much like that of the Greeks) “depended not upon divine decree or authority, but instead upon the people’s own right actions” (Sayre, 2016, p. 106). Please discuss the development of China’s religious texts from Chapter 3: Empire: Urban Life and Imperial Majesty in Rome, China, and India. What were the main ideals expressed in these texts?
As part of your response, consider the development of Hinduism and Buddhism in India from Chapter 3. Were these religions based upon divine decree or on people’s own actions? What were some of the important premises of Indian religions?
Be sure to provide specific examples from the reading to help develop your response (and use the flipbook below to point you in the right direction!).
