課程概述

本課程邀請修課同學從比較哲學的角度，審視儒家哲學的特點。課程首先介紹比較哲學的目的、價值，以及方法論上的困難。其次再依照專題，帶領同學閱讀英文學術界中較具代表性學者的作品。這些作品涵蓋了：自我的概念、德性理論、關懷倫理、禮的概念、情感的作用、正義論、人權觀等議題。藉由探討儒家與西方哲學在這些議題上的異同，使同學逐漸熟悉比較哲學領域的研究動態。此外，本課程也鼓勵同學從比較的角度，擴展自身哲思與研究的廣度。課程以學生報告和討論為主，教師講課為輔。 

課程目標
 課程結束之後，修課的同學預期能夠：
1. 清楚說明比較哲學的目的、方法、價值和困難。
2. 具體掌握和公允評估英文世界中，中西比較哲學的研究動態。
3. 從比較哲學的角度，拓展自身研究課題的深度和廣度。
4. 透過持續練習，逐步增進英文學術閱讀能力。
