課程概述

本課程以中文授課。
什麼是知識?為假的信念顯然不是知識。但知識是為真的信念嗎?對一件事的知識似乎不僅僅只是對這件事的信念恰巧為真。知識還必須包含理據嗎?什麼是理據?知識只是有理據的為真信念嗎?知識有終極的根基嗎?理據的來源是什麼?是部份來自經驗?還是完全來自其他信念?知識是相對的嗎?歸納法的理據是什麼?數學真理的理據又是什麼?這門課將介紹對於上述議題的各種哲學想法。 

課程目標
本課程的主要目標是瞭解當代知識論的最主要議題,以及學習如何分析和評價相關的理論。為了達成這些目標,本課程將非常依賴課堂討論,報告,和寫作。 
課程要求
Each student is expected to read the assignments before class, attend every class, and participate in both in-class discussions and group discussions. There will be pre-lecture quizzes, which consist of 2 simple yes-no questions. These are designed to test whether you have read the assignments the lectures are about. There will be several group discussion and presentation sessions to provide a chance to articulate your own views. There will be two exams, consisting of several short essays. Exam essays should focus on showing your own philosophical assessment and argument about a given view.
