十五至十六世紀世界開始進入到大航海的時代，歐洲人對於世界其他地區的認識，經歷了根本性的轉變。地理大發現後的世界變成以歐洲為中心，冒險、傳教與與財富的追求，將世界統合在一起，全球化於焉肇始。近代世界的雛型，是在葡萄牙、西班牙民族國家傾力推動的航海世界中呈現於世。本課程將幫助同學理解、探究大航海時代發生的成因及其對現代世界的影響及其歷史意義。
眾所周知，歐洲向東方發展的目的除了是因為突破回教徒的包圍，除了傳遞宗教的使命外，香料和黃金的企盼是主要的動機；十四、十五世紀初期的航海技術與認識仍相當有限，過去遠方的海洋中是一片沸騰的海水，裏面有著各式各樣的海妖與海怪，在幻想的地理空間逐步摸索成現今的世界圖貌。航海技術的發展如洋流、季風知識的認知與新式桅桿的設計，踏出了探索世界最重要的一步。不過當世界上不再存在空間上的阻礙，跨境的疾病與武力亦在強者的手下肆虐，造成了許多文明的消失。較不為人知的是：中國曾是海上霸主。
更重要的是台灣的被發現是在大航海時代中出現到世界舞台，從海上看台灣成為了一個新的視角，尤有論者更希望我們可以成為新興的海洋民族。
大航海時代後形成了現在世界的格局，全球化的序曲於焉而生，交通所帶來的疾病、資本流通、各種文明現象、文化交流，這期間的過程，值得我們仔細的探究。
The world from the fifteenth to sixteenth century began to enter the era of great sailing, and the Europeans' understanding of other parts of the world has undergone a fundamental change. After the discovery of geography, the world became centered on Europe, and the pursuit of adventure, religion and wealth, uniting the world together, and globalization began. The modern world is presented in the world in the sailing world promoted by Portugal and Spanish national countries. This course will help students understand and explore the causes of the great voyage era, its impact on the modern world and its historical meaning.
As we all know, the purpose of Europe's development to the East was not only to break through the Muslims, but also to pass on the mission of religion, the hope of spices and gold was the main animation; the navigation technology and understanding in the early 14th and 15th century were still quite limited. In the ocean far away in the past, there was a boiling sea water, with various sirens and sea monsters in it, gradually exploring the picture of the world today in the fantasy geographical space. The development of navigation technology, such as the recognition of ocean currents, sequinox knowledge and the design of new mast rods, have taken the most important step in exploring the world. However, when there was no longer any spatial obstacle in the world, cross-border diseases and force were raging under the hands of powerful people, causing the disappearance of many civilizations. What is less well known is that China was once the overlord of the sea.
More importantly, Taiwan was discovered to appear on the world stage in the era of great voyage, and from watching Taiwan at sea, it became a new perspective, and some speculators hoped that we could become a new marine nation.
After the Age of Discovery, the current world pattern was formed, and the prelude of globalization was born there. The diseases, capital circulation, various civilization phenomena, and cultural exchanges brought by transportation are worthy of our careful exploration.
