第 9 講禪宗的生命智慧

本講我們要進入東亞儒家人文精神的第二部份對照系統中的佛教思想—禪宗的生命智慧，以便與儒家思想對照。本講將討論兩大問題：第一，佛教的基本思想為何？佛教來華，經歷何種發展歷程？第二，中國大乘佛學思想中的生命智慧是什麼？這種生命智慧在21世紀具有何種啟示？

第 12 講朱子的人文精神(2)：「仁」說及其在日本與朝鮮的迴響

在東亞儒學史上，同一個儒家價值理念會在不同地區獲得新的具有地域特質的詮釋，由此而見證儒家思想的內在動力與活力。因之，本講將依次探討三個問題：第一，先秦孔孟如何論述「仁」？孔子與孟子的「仁」說有何特質？第二，南宋朱熹的「仁」說內容如何？有何思想史新意義？第三，朱子「仁」說東傳日本與朝鮮以後，受到德川時代日本儒者與朝鮮儒者何種批判？日本儒者提出何種新詮？其得失如何？

第14講中國史學傳統中的儒家人文精神

在中國傳統史學中，「事實」與「價值」存在一種辯證性關係，「事實」的意義必須在「價值」的脈絡中彰顯，而傳統史家也常常通過歷史敘事而完成價值理念的建構。因之，本講探討問題有三：第一，傳統中國史學中「事實」與「價值」的關係如何？第二，傳統中國的歷史撰寫有何特徵？第三，傳統史學中的人文精神如何呈現？
