研修思想史是一種社會系學生的啟蒙方式，思想史課程是一種思想訓練，藉由研讀、論辯古往今來他人的思想內容，鍛鍊參與者的思辯方式與思想勇氣，並開展自身的獨立批判思維。本課程為社會系的核心課程之一，課程目標在於引介西方重要社會思想的源起、脈絡、流變與影響，及重要思想家的論述理念，旨在勾勒現代社會學興起之前的社會思想脈動與歷史泉源，並銜接大一的社會學以及大二的社會學理論課程，以根植社會系學生之知識縱深，培育更廣泛的全球視野以及思辯批判能力。
鑑於社會思想史的範圍極為廣泛，課程將環繞著幾個西方思想史上重要而有影響力的課題，選取相關思想家來進行討論。課程的主軸結構由希臘城邦興起、柏拉圖、亞里斯多德等政治社群思想的興起展開，扣著西羅馬帝國滅亡、中世紀、基督教世界、文藝復興、宗教改革、啟蒙運動、法國大革命、英國資本主義萌芽直到1848年歐洲革命、清末民初中國革命等重要歷史過程，規劃十一個主題，介紹羅馬法、日耳曼習慣法、唯實論、聯治主義、原罪論、新教倫理、理性主義、社會契約論、德國唯心主義、英國古典政治經濟學、烏托邦社會主義、無政府主義、演化論、中國現代思想起源等重要的思想史發展，希望提供較廣泛的社會歷史與思想脈絡來深植學生知識縱深，從而能銜接大一上接觸的社會學，到足以進入大二的社會學理論課之更深度的概念化。
在授課方式上，授課者的方法與評量的方式將是嚴謹而多元，透過訓練閱讀及理解能力、磨練持續不懈的學習耐力與社會學想像力，並設計蘇格拉底式教學法，進一步鍛練學生的思辯論述表達與分組簡報的能力。我們亦鼓勵、引介學生參與各式各樣的學術討論與演講活動，培育多元開放的學習氛圍(如出席本校通識中心籌辦之各種講座、「神學論壇」、「人文三缺一」，以及不定期之課外講堂等與課程題旨相關的活動，並於參與後撰寫心得)。
