This is a course to introduce Keio Gijuku and provide new students who just “joined” Keio Gijuku with an opportunity to think about the significance of their learning and lives at Keio Gijuku. Knowing ideology and history of Keio Gijuku will be the starting point for both freshman and transfer students in their learning and lives at this university. Particularly in the nursing department where students learn practical and pragmatic matters, they may neglect deep insights regarding people behind and human societies if they focus only on matters which could be immediately useful. Recently, the term “pragmatism” has been frequently used. However, the substantial meaning of this term is much deeper and broader. The key to understand this exists in the tradition and history of Keio Gijuku, which pass down the ideas of Fukuzawa Yukichi who professed pragmatism. We would like our students to pursue “pragmatism ”, which should not be neglected under the simple “how-to” learning.
In this course, students will attend a series of lectures offered by off-campus researchers and business executives from various fields, who have been studying Fukuzawa and the History of Keio Gijuku in association with their own fields.
(This course is taken by many students from each one of the 3 departments of SFC every year. We will occasionally introduce various feedbacks for each lecture submitted by students from different departments, fields and years, hoping that they will find how meaningful and interesting it is to learn on this campus consisting of 3 departments of 2 graduate courses.)

NOTE: This course is conducted in both English and Japanese.
This course is for those who want to think better and to be happier. Students will learn basic critical thinking skills: abilities to analyze and evaluate ideas and arguments skillfully as well as to present ideas and arguments logically and efficiently. Critical thinking is considered a skill to understand and analyze OTHER people's ideas and arguments, but it can also be used to understand YOUR own ideas and thought. Through critical thinking, students will be encouraged to think about themselves: what their values are, who they are, and what they can do to be happier.
We will read discussions on current issues by leading scholars and journalists, and develop active communication skills at the same time. When reading a text, not just Japanese translation but other approaches, e.g. paragraph summary, logical analysis, and English paraphrase, will also be adopted. Toward the end of the semester, students will write an essay on the topic of their own choice through extensive research.
