本課程是知識與實在模組的總整課程。修課同學應注意：目前對於課程的規劃仍有可能變動，因此同學務必出席第一堂課；具體課程內容與評分方式將以第一堂課上的說明為準。按照目前規劃，我們將透過對語言的討論，協助同學反思過往在知識與實在相關課程中習得的想法，並考慮應用這些想法的可能方式。更具體地說，無論討論知識或者討論實在，皆無法迴避涉及語言的複雜議題。一方面，知識需要透過語言傳達，但當部分語言使用者不再以語言作為傳達知識的工具、而將其用於欺騙或操弄， 這會不會對追求知識的過程產生系統性的影響？另一方面，實在包含社會實在 (social reality)，而社會實在有可能受到語言形塑。那麼，語言是否有可能被用於建立壓迫特定群體的社會結構，而我們又如何面對這種潛在威脅？為了思考這類問題，我們將閱讀 Cappelen 與 Dever 研究非典型語言使用方式的著作。然而，本課程主要用意在於讓同學在過往所學的基礎上進行獨立思考；因此除了授課之外，課程中將會有一定比例的口頭報告與課堂討論，鼓勵同學發展自己的想法。This course is the overall course of knowledge and practical modules. Students in the course should note that the current planning of the course may still change, so students must attend the first class; the specific course content and rating methods will be based on the explanation in the first class. According to the current planning, we will help students reflect on the ideas they have learned in knowledge and practice in related courses through discussions on language, and consider possible ways to apply these ideas. More specifically, no matter whether the discussion knowledge or discussion is intrinsic, complicated issues involving language cannot be avoided. On the one hand, knowledge needs to be transmitted through language, but when some language users no longer use language as a tool to communicate knowledge and use it for fraud or manipulation, will this have a systematic impact on the process of pursuing knowledge? On the other hand, it actually contains social reality, and society can be shaped by language. So, is it possible that language is used to build social structures that pressure specific groups, and how do we face this potential threat? To think about this problem, we will read Cappelen and Dever’s work on how atypical language is used. However, this course is mainly intended to allow students to think independently on the basis of what they have learned in the past; therefore, in addition to teaching, there will be a certain proportion of oral reports and class discussions in the course to encourage students to develop their own ideas.
