本課程之特色是以小班教學之方式，配合不同領域之教師所形成之共學社群，藉由提昇學生治國平天下品格層次之素養，來培養學生在人文及文明素養的廣度、深度及行動力。本課程之設計理念，使學生了解過去東方發生了什麼重大的文明演進事件，過去西方發生了什麼重大的事件，以至於造成今天的世界現況以及值得關心的普世議題。在了解世界目前的多元問題及來龍去脈後，使學生了解自己對當今世界的責任及可能之因應之道為何，因而得以貢獻自己的心力，並使求學有了清楚的動機及方向。本課程將著重在下列四個單元：
(1) 儒道釋與華人文明
宗教往往就是文明本身，是該文明的智慧傳統－生存的智慧。但是，一個文明很少是清一色，由單一宗教作為其核心價值，而且是不受外來文明所影響。華人文明也不單單以儒家倫理作為唯一的文明智慧傳統，不僅僅有道家作為對立的智慧傳統，也深受源自於印度的佛教所影響。儒道釋地融合已經成就了華人文明的智慧傳統，缺一不可。本單元希望可以協助年輕華人重新認識自己的文明智慧傳統，這不僅僅是自我認同，更是希望藉由對於東方的智慧傳統，找尋解決現代資本主義所引發的諸多社會問題與自然災難。
(2) 西方文明下的東方人生
現代的華人已經完全西化，所有的生活智慧都是源自於西方基督教文明的正義與權利的智慧傳統，特別是16世紀以後完全脫離宗教智慧傳統的資本主義價值與倫理。現代資本主義與新教倫理本來有選擇性的親近，但是後來卻是彼此疏離，最後現代資本主義與貪婪的自私主義畫上等號。我們不難理解，去新教倫理化的現代資本主義對於現代社會與自然環境所帶來的災難，已經遠遠超過現代人的想像。同時，西方也開始面對東方文明的智慧傳統。本單元藉由引導學生認識西方文明傳統，來反思西方文明下的東方人生。
(3) 東西方飲食文化
了解人類的飲食文化對文明的發展是重要的。飲食不僅是人類維繫生命的基礎，更是人類文化及社會演變的指標，與世界各地的人、土地、及其過去、現在與未來，都有著緊密不可分的關係。食物的歷史就是人類的文明史，藉由餐桌上所衍伸的文化就可以認識整個世界。本部分課程先從飲食在文化中所佔有的角色，再概括介紹到各國不同特色之飲食，及其飲食特色所造成之原因，最後回歸到我們最孰悉的台灣。本部分課程期許學生能對飲食在東西方文明當中所扮演的角色有更進一步的認識。同時，當在認識各國不同食物時，能以更開闊的心接受不同國家的食物及對其所代表文化的尊重。最後，回歸到我們現在生長的台灣，對其了解，可以有更多的認同。
(4) 東西方茶文化
本課程由茶道開始，體察東方文明中華人獨特哲學與覺觀，由日常生活「柴、米、油、鹽、醬、醋、茶」七大事中「品飲」之間，使學生除茶文化相關知識之理解外，藉由實踐用身心去品味。在課堂授課及實作中，藉由靜心之過程，認識人的自身運作，認知東方文化所強調之天人相應內涵；藉由學習外在環境與內在自我的潔淨，在自我調整與自立自律的學習中，能探索內在生命與自我成長。
The characteristic of this course is to cultivate students' broadness, depth and action in humanistic and civilized cultivation by enhancing students' quality and quality to govern the country and the world by enhancing students' quality and quality. The design philosophy of this course allows students to understand what major civilization evolution happened in the East in the past, what major events happened in the West in the past, and what has led to today's world situation and universal issues worthy of attention. After understanding the diverse problems in the world and coming to the dragon to go, students can understand their responsibilities and possible causes for the current world, so they can pay their own efforts and give them a clear way and direction to learn. This course will focus on the following four units:
(1) Confucianism and Taoism and Chinese civilization
Religion is often civilization itself, it is the wisdom tradition of this civilization - the wisdom of survival. However, a civilization is rarely all-round, because a single religion is its core value and is not affected by external civilizations. Chinese civilization also does not simply regard Confucian ethics as the only civilization and wisdom tradition. It not only has Taoism as the opposing wisdom tradition, but also deeply influenced by Buddhism originated from India. The integration of Confucianism and Taoism has achieved the wisdom tradition of Chinese civilization, and none of them are missing. This unit hopes to help young Chinese re-understand their civilization and wisdom traditions. This is not only self-awareness, but also hopes to find many social problems and natural disasters caused by modern capitalism through the wisdom traditions of the East.
(2) Oriental life under Western civilization
Modern Chinese have been completely Westernized, and all wisdom in life comes from the wisdom tradition of righteousness and rights of Western Christian civilization, especially the capitalist value and ethics that completely abandon the tradition of religious wisdom since the 16th century. Modern capitalism and the Protestant ethics were originally selectively close, but later they were alienated from each other, and finally the selfish concept of modern capitalism and greed. It is not difficult for us to understand that the disaster brought by the modern capitalism of the modern teaching ethics to modern society and the natural environment has far surpassed the imagination of modern people. At the same time, the West has also begun to face the wisdom tradition of Eastern civilization. This unit guides students to understand the tradition of Western civilization and reflects on the Eastern life under Western civilization.
(3) Food culture in the West
Understanding human food culture is important for the development of civilization. Diet is not only the basis for human life, but also a indicator of the evolution of human culture and society. It is closely related to people, land, past, present and future around the world. The history of food is the history of human civilization. The culture derived from the dining table can be used to understand the entire world. This part of the course starts from the role of diet in culture, and then summarizes and introduces the different characteristics of each country and the causes of the characteristics of the diet, and finally returns to Taiwan, which we are most familiar with. During this part of the course, students can have a further understanding of the role of eating in the civilizations of the West. At the same time, when you recognize different foods from different countries, you can accept food from different countries and respect for the culture they represent with a more open heart. Finally, when we go back to Taiwan where we are growing up, we can have more understanding of it.
(4) East and West Tea Culture
This course starts with the tea ceremony, and observes the unique philosophy and perception of Chinese people in Eastern civilization. From the seven major events of daily life, "fire, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea", students can taste it with their body and mind in addition to understanding the knowledge related to tea culture. In class teaching and practice, through a calm process, we can understand people's own actions and understand the connotation of heaven and man in the mutual connection emphasized by Eastern culture; by learning the external environment and the purity of the inner self, we can explore inner life and self-growth in the learning of self-adjustment and self-discipline.
