哲學作為對智慧的追求以解決存在的種種問題時，我們對於身處的時代種種狀態應有所省察，並且應透過學習當代哲學對這些狀態的觀察與反思來瞭解自身的存在與相關問題。本課程希望透過後現代著名學者Steven Best和 Douglas Kellner合著的《後現代理論－批判的質疑》（Postmodern Theory: Critical Interrogations, 1991）介紹、討論與批判以法國當代哲學家為主的、不同的後現代理論、立場與方案，以瞭解當代的知識與文化狀態：
1. 後現代的起源與思想背景概述。
2. 現代與後現代之論爭
3. 德勒茲對尼采的詮釋與反伊底帕斯。
4. 李歐塔：從康德的現代知識狀況，到後現代的語言遊戲與後現代的困境。
5. 後現代的馬克主義、女性主義。
6. 後現代特徵。

When philosophy is a pursuit of wisdom to solve various problems, we should have some consideration of the contemporary states in our body, and should understand our own existence and related problems through the observation and reflection of these states by contemporary philosophy. This course hopes to introduce, discuss and criticize different postmodern theories, positions and programs focused on contemporary French philosophers, through Postmodern Theory: Critical Interrogations (1991), co-authored by famous postmodern scholars Steven Best and Douglas Kellner, to understand contemporary knowledge and cultural status:
1. Overview of the origin and ideological background of postmodernity.
2. The Controversy between Modern and Postmodern
3. Delez's comments on Nietzsche and anti-Idipas.
4. Lee Ota: From Kant's modern intellectual state to postmodern language games and postmodern dilemma.
5. Postmodern Mark and feminism.
6. Postmodern characteristics.
