本課程之教學內容以希臘哲學之發展為主，並輔以哲學對人生意義之說明。希臘哲學是西洋哲學的骨幹，呈現西方人思維的核心理念，不但足以解釋今日之西方世界，甚至可以說明全世界的發展趨勢。本課程以希臘哲學為教學之主幹，分為先蘇哲學、詭辯學派、蘇格拉底、柏拉圖、亞理斯多德五個階段。教學的方式以強調他們之間的不同與相同的部分。課程將以演講的方式進行，揉合日常經驗作說明，並不時地會以整體的角度回頭看希臘哲學在今日哲學與社會所扮演的角色。

Frequently asked questions
繼先前開課迴響熱烈，這次苑老師將課程內容集結成冊，出版為《求真》一書 (大陸簡字版為《哲學六講》)，讓同學能配合課程內容閱讀。 書籍簡介如下：
人天生是哲學動物，每一個人都可以是哲學家。哲學代表最深層的反思，而反思是「人之所以為人」的權利與義務；不這麼做，辜負「做為人」這件事情，也算是「瞎活了」。
拒絕表達自我思想的人，不但失去與人溝通的機會，也失去透過溝通糾正自己思想錯誤的可能性。缺乏批判思考的人，會在欣賞「有道理」之餘，相信那就是「真理」；哲學家受吸引之餘，卻思索如何突破自滿，避免思想僵化，讓真理自我彰顯。
對於一般人而言，言談中沒有根據的虛假內容，在談笑風生中是可以容忍的；而哲學思考中，只有通得過內心抗拒虛假的本能，才是值得保存在腦海中的內容。鄉愿、擔心得罪人是一般人的想法，不是哲學家的選擇。哲學人需要膽識，盡一切力量追求真理，不怕與人不同。
本課程要求五次作業，這些作業會讓修課的其他同學來評分。也就是說，除了撰寫作業以外，本課程也希望學生能夠審視他人的作業，按一定的標準來給出分數。希望各位選修同學除了自己的作業以外，也要認真審視其他同學的想法。
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
