Syllabus

什么是哲学? - Dave Ward
首先,在课程的开头,我们来思考一下,哲学的本质是什么:哲学与其他学科的不同之处有哪些? 哲学有哪些独特的目标和方法? 我们还将思考,人们通常为何会认为哲学家试图回答的问题既基础又至关重要,并简要了解哲学的实际应用方式。 最后,我们将针对“任何给定情况下是否真地存在对事物的正确思维方式”这一问题,简要了解两个颇具影响力的哲学家对此问题的解答。

什么是知识?我们有知识吗?- Duncan Pritchard
我们知道许多事情,或至少,我们认为是这样。 知识论是哲学的一个分支,主要研究知识;知识的本质以及我们获取知识的方式。 在本模块中,我们要讲解此哲学分支中出现的一些问题。 我们将具体思考激进怀疑论对知识论命题意味着什么。 如果无法排除与事件有明显冲突的可能性,我们又如何能知道事情就是这样?
心智,大脑和电脑 - Suilin Lavelle
如果你正在阅读此内容,则你已有思想。 但是,什么是思想?拥有思想的意义是什么? 我们应该将思想理解为一些以某种特定方式行事的意愿,还是大脑中类似电脑硬件上运行的程序的物质? 在本模块中,我们将依次了解近代哲学是如何选择接受各个观点的,以及他们接受这些观点的原因,我们还将考虑这些观点面临的问题和前景。
道德:客观、情绪还是相对? - Matthew Chrisman
生活中,我们都具有某种区分善恶的能力,也能判断自己的哪些行事方式较好,哪些较为不妥。 但是,这些道德信念、道德感或道德观有着怎样的地位呢? 我们是应当将其视为反映周围世界上客观存在的事实、科学家可以探索和研究的对象? 还是应将道德判断视为仅用于表达个人或文化偏好的措辞? 在本模块中,我们将审视思考这些疑问时可以采取的不同视角,以及这些视角各自面临的问题和前景。
你应该相信你听到的东西吗?- Allan Hazlett
我们对周围世界的理解大多基于他人的观点。 难道这意味着我们相信他人的证词是有依据的吗? 在本模块中,我们将探讨两位伟大的苏格兰启蒙哲学家对这个问题的解答,他们分别是大卫·休谟 (1711 - 1776) 和托马斯·里德 (1710 - 1796)。 休谟和里德在证词方面存在的争议代表了两种世界观之间的冲突,而这种冲突将会延续数百年:一种是怀疑且通常是世俗的世界观,总是对一切持怀疑态度(以休谟为代表),一种是保守且通常是宗教的世界观,以捍卫常识为己任(以里德为代表)。
科学理论是真的吗?- Michela Massimi
在本模块中,我们将探索现代科学哲学中一项正在进行的中心辩论:科学理论是否真实。 或者,更确切地说,科学理论是否需要是真实的才是好的。 这个问题的答案主要有两种。 科学实在论者认为,理论要想站得住脚,就应当是真实的。 我们将分析他们关于此主张的主要论证(该论证名为“无奇迹论证”)以及反驳该论点的杰出观点。 而科学反实在论则坚决主张,“真理”毫无特殊之处,他们认为不依靠真理也可以解释科学理论和科学进展。 本节课旨在介绍这两种观点及其主要论证和前景。
时间旅行与哲学 - Alasdair Richmond
在最后一个模块中,我们将思考形而上学中的某些问题,该哲学分支研究的是现实有哪些超感因素。 我们的学习示例是时间旅行的可能性(或不可能性)。 有人认为,动动脑子就可以知道我们显然不可能制造出一种机器,用于将人送到过去的时间。 但从逻辑上讲,时间旅行真的不可能吗? 如果要这一点成为可能,宇宙需要满足什么条件? 我们能知道宇宙是否满足这种条件吗?
