After reading Hsün Tzu’s “Encouraging Learning,” answer Understanding the Text #1 on p. 11 with a well organized post of 250-300 words that includes 2-4 paragraphs.

  • The first part of Michael Austin’s Chapter 9 re his suggested prereading and annotating strategies—this was assigned for yesterday;
  • Austin’s two-page introduction to Unit 1, “Education,” plus Hsün Tzu’s essay (which Austin introduces in his headnotes—the essay itself starts with “The gentleman says: Learning should never cease”).

So for Forum Post #2, I strongly suggest first reading the background handout on Hsün Tzu and ancient Chinese philosophy from the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy which I handed out in class (and which is also now on My.Wartburg), then reading Austin’s introductory headnotes preceding Hsün Tzu’s essay, and then the essay itself.
