Learning outcomes

The aim of the course is to introduce and explain important concepts of interpretation and criticism in the history of philosophical thought. The aim is to explain and definition of the notion in hermeneutical thought and criticism in thought of Kant, Marx, in critical rationalism and in critical theory.
Based on lectures and seminars, students will understand these individual concepts, be able to compare and contrast them, evaluate strong and convincing and weak and problematic arguments for or against them. Through oral and written papers, students will learn to express and defend individual philosophical positions or, conversely, criticize and refute them.
