The agenda for our next two meetings will focus on the nature of Han Confucianism.  In our next class we will survey the general history of Confucianism during the early Han and the nature of the adjustments it made in order to attract the imperial patronage it ultimately won from Wu-di.  Next week, we will explore in more depth the structures of Confucian classicism, a topic we'll first introduce in this class session, in connection with reading section II (which I hope you will read with special care).
