Learning outcomes
The course should become an introduction to the basic philosophical problems of ethics. One of the aims will be to lead future teachers to culture of moral consciousness, feeling and action, as well as to orientation in the problematic plurality of our time, given the general valid natural principles of morality. On the one hand, the course will systematically introduce the main themes of general ethics (the relationship between knowledge and desire, the relationship between morality and morality, good and evil, external and internal freedom, conscience, moral law, dignity of man and fundamental human rights), on the other hand, it will provide a basic historical overview of important ethical theories and their argumentative procedures from ancient Greece to the present day (Sophistry, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, ancient hedonism, Christian ethics, utilitarianism, Kant, existentialist ethics, discourse ethics, and communication, ethics of responsibility, analytical ethics). However, it should not be a mere gallery of diverse views on ethical problems in history and the present, but above all to highlight the importance of these diverse ethical solutions for contemporary man, who is deeply affected by ethical issues. It is not, therefore, primarily about history itself, but about to the problems and possibilities of human existence for us as heirs and bearers of European culture. The emphasis will be on linking the theoretical knowledge of ethics with its practical application in ethics education classes.
