Learning outcomes
|
In the lectures, students should gain reliable knowledge of the Searlean theory of institutions which is becoming the key tool in all social sciences and humanities. In addition, the lectures should provide a view of its application in the political theory and other disciplines. In the seminars, students will have a chance to get acquainted with a few of the central texts of the theory.
Students will improve their knowledge of the theory of institutions and its applications. This will also contribute to their overall philosophical education. In the seminars, they will practice (and some may improve) their English. They will gain the ability to give presentations on the topics of the course, lead seminar discussions, and apply these topics within the social sciences and the humanities.
