本課程主要對中國先秦政治思想的流變與其思想內涵進行討論。從中國政治思想的起源及典範始，透過《尚書》的閱讀，具體闡釋中國人文政治的實質意涵與精神。而後藉由對先秦儒、道、墨、法四家各自在政治想法上的論述，除了說明各家思想的差異之外；更欲探討共同在《尚書》這作為中國古代政治典範的思想前提下，構成各家思想演變的原因與其相互之影響，並從中國政治思想發展的歷史脈絡，對各家就其時代意義進行價值評估。

This course mainly discusses the changes in China's pre-Qin political thought and its ideological connotation. Starting from the origin and classics of Chinese political thought, through the reading of "Shangshu", the actual meaning and spirit of Chinese humanistic politics are specifically reflected. Later, through the discussion of the political ideas of the four schools of Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism and Law in the pre-Qin period, in addition to explaining the differences in the thoughts of each school, we also wanted to explore the reasons for the evolution of each school and their mutual influence on the premise of "Shang Shu", which is the ancient political scripture of China, and from the historical structure of the development of China's political thought, we will evaluate the meaning of each school on the meaning of its time.
