摘要

本文的目的在於提出通識教育理念與課程設計之間如何相應的問題；並以生死學作為一個範例，看兩者之間應如何才能相應，為了達成這個目標，我們先探討生死學的意義與主要課題，認確立生死學的學問性質與特色。其次，探討通識教育的理念與課程設計的特質，看何種條件的課程才能成為具有通識特質的課程。最後，我們從通識領域的重新劃分，以人為中心，提出四個相關關係領域，作為通識課程設計的第一個條件，以供「觀」與抉擇能力作為通識課程設計的第二個條件，指出生死學完全符合通識課程設計的原則，點出兩者具有內在必然的關聯，適合成為通識教育典型課程之一，作為其他相關課程設計的參考。

Finally, re-grouping the field of general education, with human as the center- the first requirement of course design of general education., we propose 4 related fields.
