課程概述

本課程為一理論課程,探討晚近理論研究領域裡新出現的本體論,包括關於實在(reality)、物(object/thing)、物質(materiality)、生態、(後)人類(the (post)human)等的哲學與論述。課程內容涵蓋思辨實在論(speculative realism)、物件導向本體論(object-oriented ontology)、新物質主義(new materialism)、Bruno Latour的事物(thing)與生態理論、歐陸哲學重要理論家(如Bernard Stiegler, Michel Serres, Giorgio Agamben, Gilles Deleuze & Félix Guattari)的本體論述(選讀)等。這些新興理論不只在知識(認識論)上嘗試突破之前的語言轉向,更且涉及當代整體存在環境(包括生態與技術)以及生命定義的變化,因此可視為理論在本體上翻轉人本立場以及心物二元論的重要實踐。本課程雖無法涵蓋所有的新本體論述,但將儘量納入理論研究裡重要的路線與理論家,以探究當代理論或人文研究本體轉向的思想意義。 

課程目標
1. 探討理論的新本體論述
2. 強化學生閱讀理論論述以及進行理論性思辨的能力
3. 更新晚近理論研究的發展以面對新時代課題
4. 協助學生進行相關論述與研究
