佛學的發展立基於各個根本理論，面對不同的文化背景，發展了十分精彩也十分繁瑣的義理與哲思。本課程的設計首先將介紹當前國內外佛學研究的學術資訊與工具，其中包含了慣用的電子資料庫與網路資源，使得學生在學習上有參考的研究方法與依據。再者，從思想史的角度闡述佛學興起的背景，以及其對於時代反省的意義，接著深入介紹佛學義理的基本理論與內涵。本課程在課程的討論上也將以哲學問題作為主軸來穿針引線，從佛學各個不同的學派與思想，引導學生們慢慢認識與理解佛教哲學。希望透過這樣的學習與訓練，能夠讓學生們從認識佛學，進而有獨立閱讀佛學文本以及反思其中哲學問題的能力。
The development of Buddhism is based on various fundamental theories, and in the face of different cultural backgrounds, it has developed very exciting and complex doctrines and philosophies. The design of this course will first introduce the current academic information and tools for Buddhist research at home and abroad, including commonly used electronic databases and online resources, so that students can have reference research methods and basis for their studies. Furthermore, from the perspective of intellectual history, it explains the background of the rise of Buddhism and its significance for the reflection of the times, and then introduces in depth the basic theory and connotation of Buddhist doctrine. This course will also use philosophical issues as the main thread in the discussion of the course, guiding students to slowly understand and understand Buddhist philosophy from various schools and ideas of Buddhism. It is hoped that through such learning and training, students will be able to understand Buddhism and then have the ability to independently read Buddhist texts and reflect on philosophical issues.
