摘要

本文旨在專就「理念」層面，來論述「儒家哲學」與「通識教育」的關係，並將論述的焦點集中在：儒家義的「太極」與「核心通識教育」兩者的關係上。我們希冀藉此，以：一者，清楚呈現筆者對「通識教育」與「核心通識教育」的具體看法；二者，簡要說明「太極」的各種意義；三者，明確交代儒家義的「太極」之真實義涵；四者，使讀者明瞭儒家義的「太極」與「核心通識教育」兩者的關係；五者，同時也是最重要的，乃是：嘗試「初步」提出一立基於中華（漢）文化本位的「儒家式的通識教育哲學」。
全文共分六小節完成：一為「前言」。旨在交代本文寫作的來龍去脈與問題意識；二為「『認知型的學問』與『引導型的學問』」。旨在對世間的兩種學問稍作說明，以為後文的論述預作準備；三為「核心通識教育」。旨在承續上節所說，以交代通識教育的目的，並說明（筆者所界定的）「核心通識教育」的意義及其三個面向（或三種類型）；四為「『太極』之諸義與儒家義的『太極』」。旨在說明「太極」的各種義涵，同時交代與例釋（筆者所詮釋的）儒家義的「太極」；五為「儒家義的『太極』與『核心通識教育』的關係」。旨在說明儒家義的「太極」與本校「核心通識課程」兩者的關係；六為「結論」。旨在綜覽全文，並將它歸納成數點簡要的結論。本文的結論，主要是：「核心通識教育」包含「一體三面」的「生命關懷教育」、「社會關懷教育」與「自然關懷教育」－「生命關懷教育」所要追求的「身心總體感通和諧之境」，即「身心一太極」也；「社會關懷教育」所要追求的「人我、群己，以及人與社會總體感通和諧之境」，即「人我一太極」、「群己一太極」及「人與社會一太極」也；而「自然關懷教育」所要追求的「物我，以及人與自然總體感通和諧之境」，即「物我一太極」及「天人一太極」也。
