課程概述

課程介紹:
本課程之內容有五個重點:第一、當代社會科學發展的歷史;第二、當代科學哲學理論的發展;第三、當代社會科學哲學的主要理論派別,特別是「實證主義」與「後實證主義」之間的爭論;第四、「實證主義」與「後實證主義」社會科學方法論對於政治學研究的啟示;第五、從方法論角度看有關社會科學本土化的爭論。 

課程目標
這門課協助學生(一)掌握社會科學知識體系演進的歷史;(二)理解社會科學知識建構的方法論基礎;(三)釐清各種研究途徑背後的方法論立場與基本主張;(四)增強對各種社會科學知識主張的鑑識與批判能力;(五)提高對於透視與分析社會現象的洞察能力;(六)培養對未來從事社會科學學術研究的興趣
 
課程要求
上課將排定座次,從第二週開始,助教每堂課點名。全學期上課接近全勤者(缺課不超過三次),以及期末筆試達到四十五分以上者,學期成績以六十分為底分。在每一堂上課結束後,講授大綱將按進度在系網頁上公佈供同學下載,修課同學必須詳讀大綱並設法充分理解。本課程將不舉行期中考,只舉行期末考。
