1.從文學作品的閱讀中掌握人生哲理
2.觀察與關懷現今資本主義社會的特徵
3.涵養人文精神本課程的設計初衷，乃是企圖從經典的文學作品當中，向同學介紹文學家作為社會上的思想家、報導者以及社會瞭望台上看守者的作者，所書寫出來的思想。我們這學期所挑選的文學家，是貼近社會、觀察社會之後做出深度思考的幾位。我們希望可以從中學習作家們關懷與分析當代社會的特性與問題，進而分析現階段台灣社會的挑戰，並試圖探索解決問題的可能方向或關鍵。須請同學注意的是，本課程的閱讀著作雖乍看為文學作品，但是本課的立意卻是要透過社會學的觀點角度，帶著同學來關心現代社會中深入的問題。希望可以社會科學的眼界來解讀文學作品、以及讓同學處類旁通，進而關心自己的生活周遭。

1. Grasp the philosophy of life from reading literary works
2. Observe and care about the characteristics of today’s capitalist society
3. Cultivate the humanistic spirit. The original intention of this course is to introduce students to the thoughts written by writers as social thinkers, reporters, and social watchdogs from classic literary works. The writers we selected this semester are those who have made in-depth reflections after being close to society and observing society. We hope that we can learn from writers who care about and analyze the characteristics and problems of contemporary society, and then analyze the challenges of Taiwanese society at this stage, and try to explore possible directions or keys to solving the problems. Students should note that although the reading works in this course may appear to be literary works at first glance, the purpose of this course is to lead students to care about the profound issues in modern society through the perspective of sociology. I hope that literary works can be interpreted from the perspective of social sciences, and that students can understand the world around them and care about their own lives.

General courses are different from professional courses. They actually focus on guiding students to actively care for, explore and practice the ultimate value and wisdom of mankind. At the same time, the knowledge provided by general courses is not the superficiality of professional courses, but basic knowledge with a solid sense. Based on the school’s founding tradition, school motto and school philosophy, the school has formulated four basic qualities for general education: truth-seeking quality, belief quality, practical quality and general quality, in order to concretely implement the school’s ideals of general education. We hope that our students can develop their independent learning spirit and gradually develop their basic literacy in general education under the guidance of general education teachers, and look forward to lifelong learning. Various basic competencies have specific learning effectiveness indicators for self-examination of teaching and learning effectiveness, which are described as follows: Truth-seeking literacy (natural field): 1. Learn the methods or philosophy of natural science to explore the subtleties of the physical and life world, 2. Use the spirit of discussing things as they are, 3. Be able to participate in public affairs related to scientific issues. Belief literacy (humanities field): 1. Learn the humanistic spirit to explore the inner self and understand the deep value of human civilization, 2. Develop a spirit of self-discipline, 3. Be able to use reason for moral reasoning. Practical literacy (social field): 1. Use social science methods or philosophy to stimulate students' listening and communication skills, 2. Recognize and respect diversity, 3. Practice the spirit of democratic deliberation. Hongtong literacy (cross-field): 1. Pursue the overall value of human beings, 2. Integrate qualities such as truth-seeking, faith, and practice into personal life. Courses in various fields can choose from different learning outcome indicators, so there is no need to be rigid.
