本課程的設計與進行主要透過「主題引導」的進路與學生共同研讀尼采的《查拉圖斯特拉如是說》。由於尼采《查拉圖斯特拉如是說》的每個章節均有明確的主題，因此在閱讀的動態歷程中，學生們將會面對尼采所設定的主題，從閱讀中發現哲學經典的智慧，期許大家皆能從中反思生命的價值與意義的問題，並從閱讀經典的中獲得自我肯定的成就感。作為哲學經典閱讀的課程，目標在於引導學生們從經典的閱讀中反思自我生命的價值與意義。以理解人類文明的態度，排除經典作為背誦、記憶之枯燥文本的片面觀點，將閱讀的意義指向自我的生命智慧甚或是未來的人類價值。因此，本課程的目標不在於經典的「標準詮釋」或「制式答案」，而是希望引導學生從閱讀前的陌生與恐懼，進而在追求理解的過程中反思自我的存在意義與價值，透過閱讀與知識的累積，從閱讀經典的過程中培養主動探索、發現問題以及分析、反思與批判的能力，進而延伸到解決問題、創造價值的目標。
就當代思潮而言，尼采可說是影響甚為深遠的哲學家之一。在尼采所有著作中所探討的問題幾乎都環繞著「人」，其針對與人類有密切關聯的問題，包括道德、宗教、藝術等等，皆提出了強烈的評議。他對人類生命價值的關懷，歷歷地在其著作中以箴言式的口吻向著世人宣說著！簡言之，尼采哲學的目的就是要喚回人性對自身價值的肯定，也因此，一場對抗虛無的哲學任務就在尼采的話語中呈現出來，「返回生命」的概念即貫穿了他的哲學思考。但是，人類不是活生生地活在此般生命中嗎？為何尼采要如是疾呼「返回生命」呢？他是如何來談人的價值？透過怎樣的方式來「救贖」人類？我們將從尼采著作的研讀中，耙梳尼采的哲學，並期能將此般精神深化於吾人此般生命！
透過課程的進行，學生初步可從完全對文本的陌生到某種程度的熟悉感，進而達到每個人從不同生命歷程與背景的解讀與理解。於是進一步將引導學生從理解而詮釋，在課堂賦予學生一個詮釋的場域，學生們將被要求以書寫、繪畫、演說、表演……等任何形式的創意，來作為閱讀經典這場人文知識饗宴的謝幕，但同時也作為學生們在未來延續閱讀人文經典的序幕。The design and conduct of this course are mainly based on the "theme guidance" and study Nietzsche's "Sound of Charatustra" with students. Since each chapter of Nietzsche's "Says of Charatustra" has a clear theme, in the dynamic reading process, students will face the topics set by Nietzsche and discover the wisdom of philosophical classics from the reading. We hope that everyone can reflect on the value and meaning of life from the reading, and gain a sense of self-affirmation from the reading. As a course for classical reading in philosophy, the goal is to guide students to reflect on the values and meanings of their own life from classical reading. To understand the attitude of human civilization, exclude classics as one-sided views of boring texts that memorize and memorize, the meaning of reading is pointed to one's own life wisdom or even the future human value. Therefore, the purpose of this course is not to the classical "standard comment" or "standard answer", but to guide students to reflect on their own meaning of existence and value in the process of pursuing understanding through the accumulation of reading and knowledge, cultivate the ability to actively explore, discover problems, and analyze, reflect and criticize from the process of reading classical reading, and then extend to the goal of solving problems and creating value.
As far as contemporary thought is concerned, Nietzsche can be said to be one of the philosophers who have influenced them far and wide. Almost all the questions discussed in Nietzsche’s works are related to “people”, and their points have made strong comments on issues that are closely related to humans, including morality, religion, art, etc. His concern for the value of human life is said to the world in a proverb-like tone in his works! In short, the purpose of Nietzsche's philosophy is to regain the recognition of human nature's own value. Therefore, the task of fighting against imperfections is presented in Nietzsche's words, and the concept of "returning to life" is simply through his philosophical thinking. But aren’t humans living in this life? Why did Nietzsche shout "return to life" like this? How did he come to talk about people’s value? How to "rescue" humans? From the study of Nietzsche's works, we will conquer Nietzsche's philosophy and hope to deepen this spirit into our life!
Through the course, students can initially get from being completely unfamiliar with the text to a certain degree of familiarity, and then achieve the interpretation and understanding of each person from different life courses and backgrounds. Therefore, students will be further guided to explain from understanding and give students a commentary field in the classroom. Students will be asked to use any form of creativity such as writing, painting, speaking, performance, etc. to serve as the curtain of the humanistic knowledge banquet of reading classics, but at the same time it will also serve as the prelude to students' continuous reading of humanistic classics in the future.
