本课程从探讨文化概念入手，分析中西文化形成的背景与基础，由此引申出对中西民族精神的初步探讨，继而讲述、分析、对比两种文化中具有普遍联系和广泛影响的现象。课程运用平行研究方式，分别从宗教信仰、社会价值、语言与思维、教育实践、绘画艺术、诗歌等角度对中西文化有重点地进行综合考察，以扩大学生的文化知识，提高学生对中西方文化特点的批判理解能力，培养学生跨文化意识及跨文化交流能力。

本课程致力于培养学生对中外文化类型与框架的基本认知，能够思辨性地认识文化的丰富性与多样性，理解文化交流与沟通的重要性，以及国际视野及本土情怀。

本课程具有以下三个特点：

(1) 本课程教学基于综合归纳与演绎两种思维，注重学思结合。采用以教师为主导，学生为主体的启发式、探究式、参与式教学方法，在促进学生对授课内容理解的同时，激发学生对文化现象的兴趣，培养学生对文化问题的分析能力。

(2) 课程采用全英文授课。支持学生开展英文文献拓展阅读，营造自由探索的优良学习环境，激发学生的求知欲，提高学生对文化议题的敏感性和鉴别能力，进而提高学生的跨文化意识和交际能力。

(3) 课程配套《中西文化比较(第3版)》全英文教材，教材由课程组编写，由西安交通大学出版社出版（978-7-5693-3858-4）。教材基于丰富的学术文献资料撰写，分别从文明起源、传统哲学、社会价值、语言与思维、教育实践、绘画艺术、诗歌等角度对中西文化进行分析，各章均设计有思考题，方便学生展开讨论，着重培养学生分析文化问题的能力。
