課程概述 |
在這門課中,我們將探討以下基本的形上學議題:什麼是形上學?在個別事物之外有共相的存在嗎?共相如果存在,是怎麼樣的存在呢?事物同一性的的判準是什麼?現在的白宮和十年前的白宮是同一的嗎?“必然性”和“可能性”是什麼意思呢?有必然的真理嗎?可能世界是真實的嗎?如果我有可能是一個工程師,那這個可能的工程師和我是同一的嗎?兩顆蘋果加兩顆蘋果等於四顆蘋果的事實奠基於二加二等於四嗎?或者相反呢?如果所有自然律都是決定性的,那麼我們的行動就完全由自然律和先行條件所強制嗎?或者,我們仍可自由行動呢? |
課程目標 |
本課程的主要目標是瞭解當代形上學的主要議題,學習如何分析和評價形上學理論,以及發展與構思自己的形上學想法。為了達成這些目標,本課程將非常依賴課堂討論,報告,和寫作。
|
課程要求 |
Each student is expected to read the assignments before class, attend every class, and participate in in-class discussions. Essays should focus on showing your own philosophical assessment and argument about a given view. |
