Eastern philosophy, all its essentials, in just one hour!
An easy and fun-to-access series on Eastern philosophy that you won't find anywhere else!

When we think of Eastern philosophy, we might initially think of it as nothing more than a shadow of past values ​​or a thing of the past.
However, many schools of thought that originated in the East, especially Confucianism and Taoism, have influenced many parts of our world.
To gain a deeper understanding of what ideas have influenced East Asians and how history has developed based on those ideas, studying Eastern philosophy is essential.
The problem is the prejudice that Eastern philosophy is difficult, abstruse, or boring.

The series “Donghak Philosophy in Chae Ji-chung’s Comics” has captivated hundreds of millions of readers worldwide, making a global contribution to overcoming such prejudices.
This is because it was created so that you can read through Eastern philosophy in just 'one hour' through funny and entertaining pictures and lines that summarize the core of the ideas.
Readers will quickly master Eastern philosophy by following the cute and witty illustrations of genius cartoonist Chae Ji-chung.

Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism, and military strategy at a glance through comics.
Learn about the lives of thinkers and the history surrounding them in a fun way!

The series “Oriental Philosophy Through Chae Ji-chung’s Comics” was created to help readers understand Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism, and even military strategy.
As readers read sequentially, they will gradually become familiar with the contents, and they will be able to compare and understand the key points of how each thought is related to another, and how the arguments of the thinkers criticize other schools of thought.

First, we explore Confucianism, which has had a substantial historical impact not only on East Asia as a whole but also on our own history.
You can examine the Analects, the Great Learning and the Doctrine of the Mean, which contain the philosophy of Confucius that runs through the very core of Confucianism, and the Mencius, which contributed greatly to passing down Confucianism to later generations after Confucius.
Next, we will examine Taoist thought, which took a different path from Confucianism and criticized it.
Readers can also gain a clear understanding of 『Laozi』, which is said to have created Taoist thought, 『Zhuangzi』, which developed Taoist thought and had a wide influence on the West, and 『Liezi』, which is relatively less well known compared to these two philosophers.

『Han Feizi』, a representative of the Legalist school, is also not to be missed, and 『The Art of War』, which contains practical strategies and tactics, can also be examined.
Readers will have the opportunity to easily examine the thoughts of Han Feizi, who was called the most realistic politician of his time, and how he criticized Confucianism for its impracticality, as well as why The Art of War, which contains Sun Tzu's thoughts on tactics and strategy, is so famous worldwide.
Philosophy is more difficult if you don't know the context of the times.
The greatest strength of this comic is that it depicts the lives of the philosophers, allowing us to see what era they lived in and how they lived.
Readers will learn both the philosophy and the history of the period, and will be able to apply it to the modern context.
