TOP REVIEWS FROM INTRODUCTION TO KOREAN PHILOSOPHY AND CULTURE
Some material needs clarification. I alot of the language was very vauge and didnt fully explain concepts.
although it's a bit boring there are many things that I get and understand rather than just assuming that philosophy in Korea is the same as Asian philosophy as a whole
