課程概述 |
本課程以中文授課。
回到過去非常吸引人。不斷出現在電影小說裡的時間旅行情節近乎陳腔濫調了，然而人們卻還是會被吸引。到底時間旅行的本質是什麼？回到過去究竟是可能的嗎？在祖父悖論的啟發下，我們該如何理解時間旅行？改變過去是可能的嗎？如果不是，那麼回到過去還有什麼重要性嗎？此外，「過去」、「現在」、「未來」的區別是時間的基本特性嗎？如果是的話，那麼根據McTaggat’s paradox，時間是不存在的。在這門課裡，我們將探討當代各種哲學理論對於上述議題的看法。
|
|
課程目標 |
本課程的主要目標是認識時間旅行的本質以及McTaggart’s paradox，學習如何分析和評價這個議題上的不同哲學理論，以及發展與構思自己的想法。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. |
