在近代以前，歷史學是培養各種領袖與人才的必備教育，因為它能夠使人對過去「稽其興壞成敗之理」（《史記‧太史公自序》）。「中國古代歷史與人物」這門課程希望回到歷史學的原點，藉由具體的事例，來探索「讀歷史到底有什麼用？」。

從東周到秦漢是中國歷史上承先啟後的鉅變時期，更是一個英雄輩出、波瀾壯闊的大時代。而秦始皇正是主導這個時代，且令後世爭議不絕的歷史關鍵人物之一。本課程將利用現代歷史學的各種取徑，以原典史料為中心，結合考古成果、古代文物等，對歷史人物進行多角度的剖析，探索秦始皇及其統治集團成功和失敗的祕密究竟何在，並希望使同學藉此明瞭歷史學的功用與價值。

這門課的原始動機，就是希望打破歷史思維有「標準答案」這種想法，希望同學在上這門課後，都能打破思想的框框，解放各位的思辨能力。在這門課裡，會藉由歷史案例，來向各位示範學習歷史可以如何思維；但希望同學壹定要記得，不要把老師的答案當成是「標準答案」。人文學的本質是思辨，思辨有「好」和「更好」的答案，但根本沒有「標準答案」。

通过《秦始皇》课程，吕老师交给我们思辨重要性，培养思辨能力的方法，而不是像以前一样把历史当故事看而不去思考为什么。这对以后读历史类著作也十分有帮助！
