The course should become put into basic philosophical problems of ethics. One of the goals of future teachers will lead to a culture of moral consciousness, feeling, and behavior, as well as the orientation of the plurality problem today, due to the generally applicable principles of natural morality. On the one hand, the course systematically put into the main topics of general ethics (the relationship of knowledge and volition, the relationship of morality and morality, good and evil, outer and inner freedom, conscience, moral law, human dignity and fundamental human rights), on the other hand it will be given basic historical overview of major ethical theories and their argumentation practices from ancient Greece to the present day (sophistry, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, ancient hedonism, Christian ethics, utilitarianism, Kant, existentialist ethics, ethics of discourse and communication, ethics, accountability, analytical ethics ).It should, however, be merely a gallery of diverse views on ethical issues in the history and the present, but also to emphasize the importance of these various ethical solutions for contemporary man, which intrinsically ethical concern. There will therefore first in the history of the same, but the insight problems and possibilities of the human being for us as heirs of European culture and the wearer.
