宋明理學是在儒家在先秦儒學之後的另一個高峰，其中涉及天道論、心性論、工夫論等討論。當代學者對該時期的研究也有各種說法，像是傳統的心學與理學之分、牟宗三的三系說，勞思光的一系三階段說，這些說法都讓我們可以從不同角度切入理解宋明理學。本課程目的是讓修課者對宋明理學有由淺入深的理解，透過原典閱讀了解中國哲學獨特的說理方式，並養成獨立思考的能力，為日後進一步的儒學研究鋪路。為了達成上述課程目標，本課程將從檢視當代的宋明理學研究出發，然後引領修課者閱讀相關原典。

The Neo-Confucianism in Song and Ming dynasties was another peak after Confucianism in the pre-Qin period, involving discussions such as the way of heaven, the nature of mind, and the time of effort. Contemporary scholars also have various opinions on the research of this period, such as the traditional distinction between psychology and science, Mou Zongsan's three-stage theory, and the first three-stage theory of Li Siguang. These words allow us to understand Song and Ming Technological from different angles. The purpose of this course is to allow students to have a deeper understanding of Song and Ming Philosophy, understand the unique way of teaching Chinese philosophy through the original reading, and cultivate the ability to think independently, and to further study paths of Confucianism in the future. In order to achieve the above course goals, this course will be developed from the study of contemporary Song and Ming cognition, and then lead students to read the relevant original texts.
