Confucius teachings on moral behavior did not stop at the individual but extended to the role of the state and rulers.

Shinto is the indigenous religion of Japan and means 'the way of the gods.' With a pantheon of gods at its core, worshippers can make offerings, and pray to the gods of luck, wealth, and happiness among others. Shinto is not only a religion, but a way of life and one that explains the birth of the Japanese archipelago and the seasons

Buddhism is perhaps more accurately described as a spiritual school and way of life than religion, as it has no deities.

Discusses why the observations and theories of Pythagoras, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle remain valid in the twenty-first century.

    Title: Western philosophy.;Part 2

    Physical description: 1 videocassette (50 min.) : sd., col. ; 1/2 in
    Description: Part 2 of the Western philosophy series. This program covers the Rationalists and British empiricists. The discoveries of Copernicus and Galileo turned science completely upside down, forcing people to examine their place in the world and God's place in science and mathematics. Religious volatility in Europe also prompted fierce theological debate amongst scholars over the true nature of God's existence. In Europe, the Rationalist movement was born. The sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries saw the emergence of continental mathematical and philosophical giants including Rene Descartes, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Immanuel Kant, and Bendict de Spinoza. Meanwhile in Britain, a philosophical renaissance was taking place. Known as the British empiricists, they included John Locke, David Hume, and Bishop George Berkeley. Discusses why the philosophical schism took place and what each school had to say about the limits of human reason and to what extent we can truly comprehend the world

    Title: Western philosophy.;Part 3
    Publication information: West Long Branch, NJ : Kultur, c2002
    Physical description: 1 videocassette (49 min.) : sd., col. ; 1/2 in
    Description: The final part of the Western philosophy series. This program covers the Industrial Revolution and Pragmatism. The Industrial Revolution had a deep impact on the direction and questions posed by western philosophy. Technological advancements prompted questions about the role of religion and for the first time, attempts were made to explain the human evolution of western civilization and history. Thinkers including Arthur Schopenhauer, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Jean-Paul Sartre began to question the human condition. Philosophy tried to reconcile the mechanistic laws of the universe with human freedom of will and action in a world that was beginning to be perceived as godless. Philosophical debate shifted from whether the eternal world exists, but rather, to how we interpret it. The language we use in everyday life became a focus for the Pragmatists and Ludwig Wittgenstein
