課程概述 |
哲學與其他學科不同處之一，在於後者是研究個別領域的知識，而前者是研究人類知識的本質、來源、限制、人是否真能獲得知識、和知識系統的結構。這些都是知識論所關心的主題。本課程幫助同學們認識基本的知識論問題和彼此的關聯，並從事嚴謹的理性思維。我們將依序討論下列議題：
One major difference between philosophy and other disciplines is that, while the latter studies particular areas of knowledge, the former focuses on human knowledge as a whole. Epistemology is concerned with the essence, origins, limits, and structures of knowledge. We will discuss the following topics:
1. Descartes’ Epistemology
2. The Standard Analysis
3. The Problem of Induction
4. A Priori Justification and Knowledge
5. Agrippa’s Trilemma
6. Experience and Reality
7. Foundationalism and Coherentism
8. Internalism and Externalism
9. Evidence and Entitlement
10. Knowledge in Context
11. Seeing and Knowing
12. Scepticism and Epistemic Priority
13. Self-knowledge
14. Privileged Access
15. Theories of self-awareness

課程目標 |
1. 引領學生了解並思考當代知識論的重要議題。
2. 提昇學生哲學閱讀及寫作能力。
說明：本課程設計重在幫助同學認識重要的知識論問題和彼此的關聯，並從事嚴謹的理性思維，培養獨立思考問題的能力。實際作法包括：（1）在上課時對各個哲學議題做較深入的討論，鼓勵學生發問。（2）培養學生獨立閱讀英文哲學作品的能力。這包括如何掌握一篇哲學文章的結構，瞭解各章節之間的關聯，釐清論證的結構與預設，欣賞並評估論證之強弱。（3）幫助學生認識寫作對哲學思考的重要性，並增進哲學寫作的實力。除以上各點之外，還更進一步鼓勵同學：（4）花功夫研讀困難的哲學作品，評估各種立場的論證，嘗試做有用的區分。（5）也要在作業中提出自己的觀點，並加以辯護，培養學生獨立建構論證的能力。
