Learning outcomes
|
The aim of this seminar in philosophical ethics is to begin to articulate a major current in the emerging conceptual and spiritual challenges of new European ethical thinking in the twenty first century.
The Seminar offers an occasion to acquire the philosophical capacities to critically evaluate the deeply problematic yet essential self-reflexive element in this new major European ethical current from a contemporary central and eastern European perspective.
