Aims |
By the end of this course, students will be able to tackle in a critical manner (i.e. in a personal, yet informed and structured way) the great moral questions relating to the meaning of happiness, the concept of duty, the idea of value etc. and to demonstrate their legitimacy and relevance for man and the world today. To do this, they must be able to understand the relevant conceptual and historical dimensions in order to assess the moral issues in any philosophical question and to make use of them in a logical and considered way.
