Course content
The course is primarily intended for students, for whom Kant's question "What is Man, and where is he from with his religious sensibilities?" The question of human entity only opens in its complete depth to Man, who was alone; a path towards the answer points to Man who overcomes loneliness, without having lost the power to question. The effort to deal with a question who we are, why are we here, and where are we going first and foremost means the need to correctly understand all that is fundamental and initial in relations and sequences
