課程概述

德性知識論自兩大派先驅者Ernest Sosa (1980) 與 Linda Zagzebski (1996) 開創以降,至今已有了更進一步的豐富發展,產生了更多新的研究議題。而本專題課程將研討以下兩個主要極具發展潛力的新領域:「個體知性德性」(individual epistemic virtue)以及「知性德性(epistemic virtue)與理解(understanding)之間的關係」。前者的探討將會涵蓋「知性自律」(epistemic autonomy)、「知性正義」(epistemic justice)、「智性謙遜」(intellectual humility)、「開放心胸」(open-mindedness)與「知性勇氣」(epistemic courage)等重要議題,後者的討論則會從德性知識論的核心理念——以「知性德性」(epistemic virtue)作為知識的基礎——出發,探討要如何以「知性德性」來分析與定義「理解」這項知識論上的重要概念。上述這些議題,都是傳統知識論所忽視的,而本課程將搭乘德性知識論的趨勢,研討與發展這些知識論上重要的新興研究方向。 

課程目標
本課程目標在於使學生
(1) 完整掌握關於德性知識論的議題;
(2) 掌握德性知識論領域的專業學識與最新學術資訊;
(3) 能針對德性知識論研究領域中的專題與專家提出原創性的批判論述,並發展自己的觀點。
