活用希臘哲學 (Understanding the Greek Philosophy)

• When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

  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.

  • The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

• What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?

  When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.

• Is financial aid available?

  Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

• 此課程有任何參考書目嗎？

  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。

• 什麼是作業互評？

  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。
