Learning outcomes
|
Philosophical or metaphysical questions are not asked independently of people's everyday lives. The starting point for their philosophical articulation and reflection is therefore the wonder at the beauty of reality or the incomprehensible presence of evil or suffering. On this basis, classical Greek philosophy posed the question after the being. The encounter between the Christian message and Greek philosophy transformed the character of this question by recognizing the ontological depth of man's being as a person in relations. The perspective of Christian philosophical anthropology, then, presents the essential themes of human life, such as freedom and health, as realities in which man's vocation to essential solidarity is manifested, based on the uniqueness of the Christian understanding of being in analogy with the inner life of the Triune God of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The student will gain knowledge in the field of philosophical topics important for social work and related topics associated with the performance of this profession. Within the philosophy, students will be introduced to basic philosophical problems and their solutions in European philosophical thinking in relation to social work. The course also deals with the relationship between social philosophy and ethics, social philosophy and politics, ideology, law and other disciplines.
- The Students will be well informed in the basic problems of philosophy. - They will be able to interpret the scientific text. - They will be able to take critical opinions on societal issues.
