Course content
The contents of Ethics course is to intermediate the quality of ethical thinking to students and to bring them to a point where they themselves feel the need for more complex guidance in issues, which occasionally provoke them, and the solution of which is a base for value and success in their lives. Ethics does not only deal with average standards of behaviour. It is more about searching for something that is correct and good, and how to live the best possible way. This obviously does not mean adopting rigidly moral perspective in the sense of rejecting all those who do not agree with certain specific codec, but emphasizing that we wish to find fundamental values, according to which we can live, provided that they will lead to justice and happiness.
