本課程希望透過閱讀、思考、從中提出質疑來達到思辨、表達能力的養成；由文本所呈現的各式議題，一方面由時人心態、社會文化切入討論，另一方面則試圖由今日吾人想法切入思考，從中習得珍貴經驗，學會以「同理心」來思考事物，成為一個有情感的「人」！透過古典小說中的人生百態來和吾人生活做結合、連結到自身因此本學期將從以下角度切入：「愛情」— 選擇、真誠付出與放手的智慧、「人生」— 做人處事哲學及原則，由小說所展現的不同思維，配合當時的社會背景，試圖解讀作者的本義；並連結至我們可能面臨的各式問題與挑戰，做為我們參考的目標。也在古今不同的社會背景中，學著不以現代的思維考量古典小說內容的不盡合理處，也試著將這些舊經驗賦予新思維，使之更符合時代所需。

This course hopes to develop the ability to think and express through reading, thinking, and raising questions. On the one hand, the various issues presented in the text are discussed based on the mentality of the people of the time and social culture. On the other hand, it attempts to start thinking from the thoughts of today's people, learn valuable experience from it, learn to think about things with "empathy", and become an emotional "person"! Through various aspects of life in classical novels, we can combine it with our lives and connect to ourselves. Therefore, this semester will start from the following perspectives: "Love" - ​​the wisdom of choice, sincere giving and letting go, "Life" - the philosophy and principles of life and doing things. From the different thinking shown in the novel, combined with the social background of the time, we try to interpret the original meaning of the author; and connect it to various problems and challenges we may face, as our reference goal. In the different social backgrounds of ancient and modern times, we have learned not to consider the unreasonable content of classical novels with modern thinking, but also try to imbue these old experiences with new thinking to make them more in line with the needs of the times.
