這門課程適合希望理解西方民主理論，或是有意培養哲學英語閱讀能力的學生。本課程將閱讀當代重要政治哲學家Iris Marion Young的著作《包容與民主》(Inclusion and Democracy)。透過細讀此書，不僅能理解當代政治哲學中的民主和包容性問題，也有助於理解傳統強調理性溝通的民主理論在價值與文化多元社會之可能限制。Young在書中提出一種她認為具有包容性、公平性以及尊重社會差異的溝通民主理論，尤其強調敘事、修辭和對話等非傳統甚至看似非理性辯論的溝通方式，將如何促進對於不同群體的理解與尊重。此外，Young在書中亦說明平權行動如何作為民主實踐中不可或缺的組成部分，有助於我們評估近年來國內外相關質疑平權行動無助於扭轉甚至加劇不公正的社會現況之批評是否合理。This course is suitable for students who want to understand Western democratic theory or who are interested in developing philosophical English reading skills. This course will read the book "Inclusion and Democracy" by Iris Marion Young, an important contemporary political philosopher. By reading this book carefully, one can not only understand the issues of democracy and inclusiveness in contemporary political philosophy, but also help understand the possible limitations of traditional democratic theory that emphasizes rational communication in a society with diverse values and cultures. In the book, Young proposes a democratic theory of communication that she believes is inclusive, fair, and respectful of social differences, with particular emphasis on how non-traditional and even seemingly irrational debate communication methods such as narrative, rhetoric, and dialogue can promote understanding of different groups. and respect. In addition, Young also explains in the book how affirmative action is an indispensable part of democratic practice, which helps us evaluate whether the criticism at home and abroad in recent years that affirmative action does not help reverse or even exacerbate unfair social conditions is reasonable. .
