在傳統社會科學的理性主義偏見下，「靈異」常被簡化為迷信或病理現象。本課程之教學策略旨在介入此一邊緣場域，將靈異議題轉化為嚴謹的社會學研究對象。我們不探討現象本身的形上真偽，而是檢視其作為一種文化敘事與社會現實的交織過程。對於社會學系學生而言，這不僅是學術領域的拓張，更是對當代社會中「不可見性」與「邊緣主體」的一種深度辨識。透過對超自然者（神聖者或靈異者）存在預設進行暫時封存（方法學不可知論），研究者得以達成與傳統神學前提的徹底獨立，轉而專注於描述意識中呈現的現象流動，引導學生探索靈異經驗和靈異敘事的社會學意涵。

Under the rationalist bias of traditional social science, "supernatural" is often reduced to superstition or pathological phenomena. The teaching strategy of this course aims to intervene in this marginal field and transform spiritual problems into rigorous sociological research objects. We do not explore the metaphysical authenticity of the phenomenon itself, but examine its intertwining process with social reality as a cultural narrative. For sociology students, this is not only an expansion of the academic field, but also an in-depth identification of "invisibility" and "marginal subjects" in contemporary society. By temporarily sealing (methodological agnosticism) the assumption of the existence of the supernatural (the divine or the supernatural), researchers can achieve complete independence from traditional theological premises, and instead focus on describing the flow of phenomena presented in consciousness, guiding students to explore the sociological implications of supernatural experiences and supernatural narratives.
