亞當斯密被稱為經濟學之父，其所著之《國富論》更被譽為進入經濟學殿堂不可不讀之經典，書中所主張之人類政治經濟演進過程，歷經二百餘年依舊契合於今日經濟活動之解釋。而《道德情感論》則將道德哲學應用於經濟生活層面，為17世紀貴族子弟的上課教材，該書歷經數次修訂，可謂亞當斯密對該書的重視更甚於《國富論》。
現今各類書籍汗牛充棟，但能挺過歷史洗禮者卻寥寥無幾。而歷經數百年依然能流傳於世者，自有其不可忽視之價值。在大學的殿堂裡，應當要有閱讀「經典著作」的氣度與決心。本課程擬藉由導讀亞當斯密畢生最重要的兩本著作，帶領同學進入一個經濟與社會的對話世界。現今各類書籍汗牛充棟，但能挺過歷史洗禮者卻寥寥無幾。而歷經數百年依然能流傳於世者，自有其不可忽視之價值。在大學的殿堂，應當要有閱讀「經典著作」的氣度與決心。本課程擬藉由導讀亞當斯密畢生最重要的兩本著作，帶領同學進入一個經濟與社會的對話世界。在導讀的過程中，訓練培養同學獨立思考與分析事物之習慣，期望從而觸發修同學自我延伸閱讀的興趣與能力。本課程有兩位教師擔任，視情況或有課堂中共同授課之情況。When Smith was called the father of economics, his book "The Rich Republic" was even known as a classic that must be read when entering the economic hall. The human political economic evolution process advocated in the book has been adapted to the explanation of today's economic activities for more than 200 years. The Moral Emotional Discussion applies moral philosophy to the economic life, and is a course textbook for the children of the 17th century. The book has been reviewed several times. It can be said that Adam Smith's emphasis on the book is more than that of the "National Wealth Discussion".
Nowadays, all kinds of books are full of wealth, but there are only a few who can survive the history of the slaughter. And those who can still pass through the world for hundreds of years have their own value that cannot be ignored. In the palace of universities, you should have the spirit and determination to read "classic works". This course leads classmates into an economic and social dialogue world by reading two of the most important works of Smith's graduation.

The general course is different from the professional course, and it focuses on guiding students to actively care, explore and understand the ultimate value and wisdom of human beings. At the same time, the knowledge provided by the general course is not the purity of the professional course, but the basic knowledge with a strong sense of reality. Our school has established four basic qualities for general education based on the concept of creating school traditions, school training and management: seeking truth, trustworthiness, striving for general education, and implementing the ideal of general education in our school in a specific way. I hope that students of this school can develop the spirit of independent learning, and under the guidance of general course teachers, they will gradually cultivate their basic qualities of general education, and look forward to finally learning. Various basic qualities are cultivated and have specific indicators for self-verification of teaching and learning results. They are divided into the following: Truth-seeking and nourishing (nature domain): 1. Learn the methods or philosophy of natural sciences to explore the subtleties of physics and the world of life, 2. Develop the spirit of doing things, 3. Be able to participate in public affairs related to scientific topics. Relief and nourishment (humanity field): 1. Learn the humanistic spirit to explore the deep value of inner self and leading human civilization, 2. Develop self-discipline spirit, 3. Be able to use rationality to conduct moral reasoning. Practice and cultivate (social field): 1. Use social science methods or philosophy to stimulate students' listening and communication skills, 2. Accept and respect for diversity and differences, 3. Realize the spirit of democratic review. Hongtong basic cultivation (cross-domain): 1. Pursuing the overall value of human beings, 2. Integrating truth-seeking, trustworthiness, and action in personal life. Courses in various fields can be selected across learning performance indicators without being restricted.
