Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to introduce philosophical anthropology from both a systematic and historical perspective. In contrast to the concept of the human being in the natural sciences, the course will explore the human as a living being (soul), consciousness, Cartesian ego, self-project; as well as corporeality, being-in-the-world, being-with-others, the nature of human will, freedom, and responsibility. The second part will focus on key concepts and figures in the philosophy of science (the structure of scientific theory, testing of scientific hypotheses, verifiability and falsifiability, paradigms, and scientific revolutions). The course is intended for students who are not expected to have prior university-level studies in philosophy.
