知識論上
EPISTEMOLOGY (1)

課程大綱及授課順序:

哲學與其他學科不同處之一,在於後者是研究個別領域的知識,而前者是研究人類知識的本質、來源、限制、人是否真能獲得知識、和知識系統的結構。這些都是知識論所關心的主題。本課程幫助同學們認識基本的知識論問題和彼此的關聯,並從事嚴謹的理性思維。我們將依序討論下列議題:

Part One
1. Descartes’ Epistemology
2. The Standard Analysis
3. The Problem of Induction
4. A Priori Justification and Knowledge
5. Agrippa’s Trilemma
6. Experience and Reality
7. Immediate Experience
8. Foundationalism & Coherentism

Part Two
9. The Problem of the Basis
10. Internalism and Externalism
11. Evidence and Entitlement
12. Knowledge in Context
13. Seeing and Knowing
14. Scepticism and Epistemic Priority
15. Is Knowledge Contextual?
16. Can Skepticism Be Refurted?

進行方式: Lectures and discussions.

One major difference between philosophy and other disciplines is that, while the latter studies particular areas of knowledge, the former focuses on human knowledge as a whole. Epistemology is concerned with the essence, origins, limits, and structures of knowledge. We will discuss the following topics:
