課程概述

本課程將探討佛教心識哲學的幾個重大的論題,包括根、境、識、心、心性、以及心識之轉捨。
This course invites you to explore some of the important topics of Buddhist philosophy of mind, including sense faculties, sense objects, consciousnesses, mind, the nature of mind, and the transformation of mind. 

課程目標
本課程的目標,在於對佛教心識哲學之課題,建立以典籍為依據的思辨與認識,並且奠定從事佛教哲學或心識哲學專門研究的基礎。以條列的方式,透過本課程的歷練,學員可預期達到如下三項成果:(1)對佛教心識哲學的研究領域、課題、方法、和內容,形成一定水準的認識;(2)憑藉學養,得以入乎佛教心識哲學之課題的眼光、思辨、和觀點,並且出乎其外;(3)初步建立以第一手資料來從事佛教心識哲學之課題的研究能力,強化獨特的哲學思考,並且提昇學習報告的寫作水平。
Through a variety of sources, students are expected to become knowledgeable about Buddhist concepts of sense faculties, sense objects, consciousnesses, mind, the nature of mind, and the transformation of mind.


 
課程要求
本課程設置為研究所層級的專題討論課,並非大學部一般的導論或通論課。學員必須預先研讀本課程大綱所列的主要的課程材料,在課堂上積極參與討論,以及按時完成學期作業。每一進度單元所列的「延伸的參考材料」,多少皆具參考價值;若是碩士班研究生,並不硬性規定必讀;若是博士班研究生,則要求藉此量力或盡力拓展課程修讀的廣度、深度、和層級。
Attend class regularly and be willing to participate in class discussion. Read assigned texts and demonstrate sufficient understanding in critical reflection papers. Complete semester project paper in consultation with the instructor. Participate in an end of the semester group presentation. There are no pre-established objectives other than the basic requirement that this course be an exercise in thinking. By thinking, you will be in an on-going and multi-layered conversation with the authors and texts we will be reading, with fellow classmates, with the instructor, and last but not least, with yourselves as you think the questions that question the nature of Buddhist philosophy of language.
