所有對日治時期台灣史有了解的人都聽過矢内原忠雄（1893-1961）的大名，他是一位傑出的經濟學者、教育家，更是一位虔誠的基督徒。
矢內原在學術上，以殖民地政策研究聞名，其中又以《帝国主義下の台湾》最為台灣社會所熟知。《帝国主義下の台湾》序言裡，強調其最關注的一點乃是經濟發展，書中內容雖然也敘述事實的歷史，但他最為著力者乃是事實意義的說明。矢內原將《帝国主義下の台湾》定位為「以經濟為中心，對於台灣社會發展之科學分析」，「以台灣為具體例子，就其活動型態，說明帝國主義殖民政策理論及日本殖民政策」。矢內原並認為唯有依循此一方法，才得真正認識世界上其他地區的殖民地性。
《帝国主義下の台湾》雖然是矢內原的重要著作，但卻不是其學術乃至於生涯的全部。本課程希望從《矢內原忠雄全集》的全視野角度，帶領修課同學逐漸進入矢內原的世界，重新領略這位日本近代傑出重要人物的思想體系。
All those who know about Taiwan history during the Japanese reign have heard the daimyo of Tadao Yanuchihara (1893-1961), a master of economic scholars, educators, and a devout Christian.
In his academic research, Yasuhara is famous for his colonial policy research, and among them, "Taiwan under the Imperialism" is most well-known in Taiwan society. In the preface to "Taiwan under the Imperialism", one of the things that emphasizes its most attention is economic development. Although the content in the book also describes the history of facts, what he focuses most is the explanation of facts. Yasuhiro positioned "Taiwan under the Imperialism" as "a scientific analysis of Taiwan's social development centered on economy" and "using Taiwan as a concrete example, explaining the theory of imperialist colonial policy and Japanese colonial policy in terms of its activity type." Yasui originally believed that only by following this method can one truly understand the colonial nature of other parts of the world.
Although "Taiwan under the Imperialism" is an important work by Yauchihara, it is not the whole of his academic performance or even his career. This course hopes to take students in the course from the perspective of "The Complete Works of Tadao Yauchihara" and gradually enter the world of Yauchihara, and re-surface the ideological system of this important figure in modern Japan.

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.
