Learn from Three Great Masters by Reading Comics 看漫畫認識三大哲學家

This course first introduces three influential conceptions of a successful life: personal happiness (個人幸福) , duties to others(對他人的承擔) and social benefits(社會利益).  You will learn these ideas from three great masters: Aristotle(亞里斯多德), Kant(康德) and Mill(彌爾).  Their insights help you understand many of the hidden assumptions(假設) of your own and other people’s outlooks on life.  We will illustrate their ideas through a series of refreshing comics and interesting explanations.  And you can compare your views with the global learners through the poll questions.

Identify a Successful Outlook on Life by Reflecting on Different Life and Death Situations  從生死看人生

In addition, we will expound useful critical and creative thinking skills (批判及創意思維技巧) for your decision-making(決策) in different situations.  They include the questions on your choice of personal identity(個人身份), conception of love(愛的概念), decisions on life and death matters.   A micro-movie on a particular life and death situation, featuring Hong Kong local actors and actresses, will illustrate a soul-searching case-study for the reflection of healthcare and counselling professionals as well as the general public.  It will deepen your understanding on how to construct a successful outlook on life.
