Course Objective 本課程始自一系列關於「古代哲學」的演講，特別著重於自然主義哲學家的思想。藉此讓我們得以瞭解下述議題：宇宙的基本物質、變化問題，與原子論。接下來，我們會探討希臘哲學，著重於:辯士學派、蘇格拉底、柏拉圖，與亞里斯多德。我們接著探討希臘化時期的學說，然後轉向中世紀哲學，再接著探討文藝復興與巴洛克時期的思想與「現代哲學」的思想家，如笛卡兒、史賓諾莎、洛克、休姆，與柏克萊。藉此讓我們得以瞭解理性主義、經驗主義，與唯心論。接下來，我們會探討：企圖整合理性主義和經驗主義的康德批判哲學，和馬克思的歷史唯物主義。我們會適時插入東方的思想，如儒家、道家、佛教思想作為對比。 The course starts with a series of lectures on Greek philosophy with a particular look at the Sophists, Socratics, Plato, and Aristotle. Afterwards, we will study the theories and accounts during the Hellenistic period and Medieval philosophy, followed by a close look at thoughts appeared in the Renaissance and Baroque era. The course then focuses on modern philosophers such as Descartes, Spinoza, Locke, Hume, and Berkeley, thoughts concerning Rationalism, Empiricism, and Idealism. We then shall move onto Kant with a particular look at his attempt of combining Rationalism and Empiricism into his Critical Philosophy. Afterwards, we will study Historical Materialism and the theory of Evolution provided by Marx, and Darwin, respectively. If time permitting, we will look at some important oriental thoughts such as Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism as a contrast.
