課程概述

This course explores the intrigue of sense making and storytelling in the humanities and sciences. It engages with our intelligence of devising stories and interpretations by way of revisiting key contexts of theory making found in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It observes how certain philosophers, artists and scientists managed their trades across such buzzing areas as: (1) interpersonal, interspecific and intercultural communication; (2) fantasy and dream interpretation; (3) the relation between animals and humans; (4) chance and strategy formation. All in all, this course enables students to cherish the interpretive aspect of knowledge formation that actually demands our constant and persistent dealings with clues, memories, experiences and unique observations. 

課程目標
This course aims to shed light on certain aspects of theory making: (1) how we can make good use of the changing, non-adaptive and non-exclusive features of syntagmatic combinations so as to be creative with our interpretations; (2) how our unique interpretations may serve to benefit the community in forming certain disciplines or paradigms; (3) how we can work out various sorts of play scenarios while engaging in the process of truth or meaning seeking. 
課程要求
Students are required to (1) preview contents for each week; (2) participate rigorously in discussions; (3) keep reading journals regularly; (4) give briefings on certain articles and topics.
