哲學經常給人一種不食人間煙火的印象, 哲學理論似乎和人們日常生活中遭遇的問題不太相干。這種想法可能是因為哲學討論較為抽象、甚至晦澀難懂, 以至於一般人難以將哲學和生活關聯在一起。事實上, 哲學問題來自於人對生活產生的好奇和困惑, 哲學家大多也是試圖解決和人、和世界有關的問題。這門課將介紹知識論和形上學範圍中的若干議題、理論, 並討論它們如何被應用在生活之中。Philosophy often gives people an impression of being otherworldly, and philosophical theories seem to have little relevance to the problems people encounter in their daily lives. This idea may be because philosophical discussions are relatively abstract and even obscure, making it difficult for ordinary people to relate philosophy to life. In fact, philosophical questions come from people's curiosity and confusion about life. Most philosophers also try to solve problems related to people and the world. This course will introduce several issues and theories in the scope of epistemology and metaphysics, and discuss how they are applied in life.
