Why So Many Harvard Students Study Ancient Chinese Philosophy

[W.G.Ewald]

To defeat any nation , first have to know about their history and weakness on social, cultural, ethnic issues

Obama studied at Harvard. Obama said he would prefer to be president of China. Obama does not want to defeat China. Or Al-Qaeda for that matter.

I didn't even read the article, but I wager that it's for their arts degrees lolololol.

From the article:

For one thing, the class fulfills one of Harvard's more challenging core requirements, Ethical Reasoning.

Art is a separate department.

I meant Arts, not Art. Subjects such as Philosophy would fit in the former category.

A: To learn the art of deception.
