At the last seminar of this semester, I would like to express my gratitude toward Professor Chen[1] for your encouragement and giving me a chance to read, speak and write so much in this foreign language, and toward all my classmates for your tolerance of my English fluency and my opinions.

And I want to share my general viewpoint on political philosophy.

My interest in political philosophy was inspired by Professor Chen’s introduction lecture for freshmen two years ago. However, as I read some philosophical works and discuss some important social and political issues in Taiwan with my friend, I feel a little frustrated in political philosophy.

First:

Political philosophy looks like the FORBIDDEN FRUIT in Eden Garden. We started to wrongly think that we human beings were able to use our so-called “ration” to distinguish what morals are and what not moral are after our ancestors studied and researched these problems. Then, we despise the absolutely correct ethical standards given by God and try to establish new norms. I’m not sure whether or not we earthly people are capable of doing that. Anyway, we cannot change our ancestors’ fault.
