Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course Principles of Christian Ethics will be to present biblical bases of moral theology, history of this field and its main themes of interest (conscience, natural law, sin). The interpretation will take into account the Second Vatican Council's requirements for moral theology: biblical grounding, scientific approach, positive focus, and benefit to society.
After completing the course, you will be able to: - apply the Second Vatican Council's requirements to contemporary moral theology - classify ethos in the Old Testament and recognize their typical features - classify the ethics of individual New Testament books and recognize their typical features - classify basic phases in the development of moral theology, compare approaches in different periods - recall the distinction between autonomous and heteronomous ethics, applying this distinction to ethical argumentation - to recall the origin of natural law doctrine and to compare ethics based on natural law with positivist theories - classify individual types of situation morality and explain their differences - explain the phenomenon of conscience (origin of the concept, various aspects, perspective of various scientific disciplines) - compare different concepts of freedom, explain the so-called "optio fundamentalis" - compare attitudes to sin in different cultures and classify sins
