在中西思想發展中，對於宇宙人生普遍原理的整體思辨，以及對於終極真際(ultimate reality)的理性關懷，不僅指示了哲學之為形上學的追求，也標誌了人類心智與精神活動的重大成就。什麼是構成宇宙自然的基本原理？什麼是支配宇宙自然的普遍法則？這原理與法則和人有什麼關係？人在宇宙之中，居於何等地位？什麼是宇宙人生的究極真相？在變遷不已的表面現象背後，是否有永恆不變的原理？對於這些形上學的問題，哲學家們曾提出各種解答。本課程主要將介紹(一)形上學的概念與意義；(二)研究範圍與主要課題；（三）當代形上學主要議題。
In the development of Chinese and Western thoughts, the overall thinking on the universal principles of the universe and life, and the rational concern for ultimate reality not only indicates the pursuit of philosophy as metaphysics, but also marks the major achievements of human mind and spiritual activities. . What are the basic principles of the universe and nature? What is the universal law that governs the universe and nature? What is the relationship between this principle and law and human beings? What position do people occupy in the universe? What is the ultimate truth of the universe and life? Behind the ever-changing superficial phenomena, is there a principle that never changes? Philosophers have proposed various answers to these metaphysical questions. This course will mainly introduce (I) the concepts and meanings of metaphysics; (II) the research scope and main topics; (II) the main topics of contemporary metaphysics.
