課程大綱Course Description:
批判思考能力是人類有別於其他動物的重要特徵,在資訊爆炸,假訊息充斥的現代,學會如何篩選資訊、分析資訊變成至關重要的事情。在各種學術領域中,哲學是少見專門研究「批判思考」的學科,哲學家特別關注論證的品質,以及論證的恰當性。這門課將會介紹各種哲學家的論證技巧,這些論證技巧一但習得後,它們的應用將不僅限於哲學領域,而是適用於所有學術領域,同時,也適用於我們的日常生活。在本堂課,我們會首先介紹哲學家的基本論證工具,比方說,何謂論證?好的論證需要具有怎麼樣的性質?怎麼樣的論證在形式上沒有參考價值等。在對基本工具有一定程度理解後,則介紹進階論證工具,比方說,哲學家常用的各種推理方法。接著,我們說明如何分析與評價論證,如何檢視論證中前提與結論之間的關聯。在課程進行的過程中,我們將引入哲學案例、日常案例、統計案例等等佐證課程內容。
English Outline:
Critical thinking are important characteristics that distinguish humans from other animals. In the modern era of information explosion and rampant misinformation, it is crucial to learn how to filter and analyze information. Philosophy is one of the rare academic disciplines that specifically studies " Critical thinking." Philosophers pay special attention to the quality and appropriateness of arguments. This course will introduce various argumentation techniques employed by philosophers. Once these argumentation techniques are learned, their application extends beyond the field of philosophy and becomes relevant to all academic disciplines as well as our daily lives. In this course, we will first introduce the basic tools of philosophers, such as what constitutes an argument and what qualities make a good argument. We will also explore arguments that intrinsically bad in their form. Once we have a certain level of understanding of these basic tools, we will delve into advanced argumentation tools, including various reasoning methods commonly used by philosophers. Furthermore, we will explain how to analyze and evaluate arguments, and how to examine the connections between premises and conclusions. Throughout the course, we will provide philosophical cases, daily examples, statistical cases, and other supporting materials to illustrate the course content.
本科目教學目標Course Objectives:
人類一生總是在面對各種各樣的推理與決策,而批判思考的基本精神正在於,有效地分析資料以及運用資訊,透過恰當的推理與推論來得出恰當結論。好的推理方式可以幫助我們有效率,而且正確的推導出結論,協助我們為人生做出各種重要以及關鍵決定。本堂課主要目標在於,使同學可以對恰當推理方法與論證評估方法具有一定程度的認識,並有能力運用在生活中。
