課程目標： This course has three primary objectives: 1) to prepare students with historicized and inter-textual understanding of ideas and thoughts in differential and yet linked cultures and social changes; 2) to reimagine our relationship to the canonical and classical texts for renewed interpretations in relation to contemporary societies and times, rather than simply a rupture or break from the past, for students’ comparative perspectives as well as for their cultural literacy; 3) to understand the metaphysical implications of ideas in historical, cultural and social representations as linked knowledge formations rather than separated from each other in modern disciplinarity. | ||||
授課內容： The course examines the historical and philosophical construction of early European modernity. While many of the ideas championed by the major proponents of modernity—such as reason, progress, freedom, secularism, and industrialization are still popular today, from around the same period of time, a hierarchy of gender, class and race also emerged and has been in direct contradiction to the ideals of modernity. To understand more fully the contexts of early modernity, the course offers a brief critical review of the history of world trade and conquest as well as the re-enchantment in the process of universalizing capitalism, showing the larger and variable contexts out of which the ideas associated with modernity have developed.
