大學歷史領域的課程，是絕大多數同學在正規學校教育中的最後一門歷史相關課程，所以如何統整小學、中學以來所接受的歷史知識，對歷史學門進行全盤性、系統性的解析，進一步了解歷史知識的性質與貢獻，這是本課程冀望達成的教學目標。配合教學目標，本課程講授的重點有二：其一是討論歷史知識的性質、特色，以及歷史表達的形式；其二是從歷史知識的角度來理解當代世界，並進行解讀，認知歷史文化的形成、發展，及其在人類知識中的獨特地位。
本課程設計與教學的終極目標，乃在希望讓身居歷史洪流中的我們，從龐雜的歷史知識中，培養歷史的思考，使自己面對歷史、現在和未來，能夠探求言之成理，可供討論的理解路徑。The course in the field of university history is the last history-related course for most students in regular school education. Therefore, how to organize the historical knowledge accepted by primary and secondary schools, conduct a full-panel and systematic analysis of the history door, and further understand the nature and contribution of historical knowledge. This is the teaching goal that this course hopes to achieve. In line with teaching objectives, the teaching of this course has two key points: one is to discuss the nature, characteristics, and forms of historical expression of historical knowledge; the other is to understand the contemporary world from the perspective of historical knowledge, and to understand the formation and development of historical culture, and its unique position in human knowledge.
The ultimate goal of this course design and teaching is to hope that we, who are in the torrent of history, cultivate historical thinking from the chaotic historical knowledge, so that we can face history, present and future, and explore the rationale and understanding paths for discussion.
以當前台灣的時空為基點，站在台灣主體性的立場上，來介紹台灣的歷史，反省台灣的過去理性地與過去對話，希望將歷史與現實結合，讓台灣的歷史能對我們的現實生活產生啟發與教育的作用，進而培養宏遠的世界觀。
Taking the time and space of Taiwan as the basis, we stand on the main standpoint of Taiwan, introduce Taiwan’s history, reflect on Taiwan’s past and rationally talk with the past, and hope to combine history with reality, so that Taiwan’s history can have an effect on our real life and education, and thus cultivate a grand and remote world view.
