一、課程目標
本課程目標在於提供佛教認識論的基本知識與哲學觀點，同時關照佛教認識論在二諦框架之下的實踐意義，特別聚焦在認識論與世俗際域內因果必然性之要求，以及在實踐以及勝義意義之中對因果必然性要求之「超越」的可能，這特別與當代決定論與自由意志兩者之間相容或不相容之道德哲學議題相關。
二、課程內涵
（1）佛教認識論部分，我們從陳那的因明量論著手，借由陳那在佛教認識論發展中承先啟後奠定佛教新因明的關鍵性貢獻，明瞭佛教認識論當中之主要問題意識。（2）除了掌握陳那認識論系統在佛教內部發展之中所扮演的角色，還嘗試從這之中，汲取回應當代倫理學問題意識的養分。（3）文獻研讀方面，我們透過服部正明的文章，以及《集量論》譯註，掌握陳那認識論之要義，並且從服部正明劃時代的文獻貢獻中，領略原典當中所能展現之佛教認識論特有，活潑充沛的哲學動力。
1. Course objectives
The purpose of this course is to provide basic knowledge and philosophical views of Buddhist cognition, and to follow the practical meaning of Buddhist cognition under the framework of the two views, focusing specifically on the requirements of causal inevitability in the secular realm, as well as the possibility of "transcendence" of causal inevitability in the actual and scheming meanings. This is particularly related to the moral philosophy issues that are compatible or incompatible between contemporary decision theory and free will.
2. Course content
(1) In the Buddhist cognition, we start from Chen Na's theory of causality and judging, and use Chen Na to inherit the key contribution of the new Buddhist cognition and judging in the development of Buddhist cognition and judging, and understand the main problem and meaning of the Buddhist cognition and judging. (2) In addition to mastering the role played by Chen Na's cognitive theory system in the internal development of Buddhism, we also try to draw points from this to respond to the understanding of contemporary ethics problems. (3) In terms of literature research, we have mastered the essentials of Chen Na's understanding through Hattori Masaki's articles and the "Collective Discussions" translations, and also summarized the unique and lively philosophical power of Buddhist cognition that can be demonstrated in the original texts from the literary contributions of Hattori Masaki's planning era.
