Learning outcomes
|
The aim of this course is to introduce various aspects of philosophical study of man and exhibit their interrelatedness: man as a living being (soul), consciousness, the Cartesian ego, constitutive moments of a human person (embodiment, being in the world, being with others, speech). The methodical standpoint is constituted by the criticism of reductive tendencies in natural science and in philosophy.
- Students will have a survey of basic philosophical attempts to make a definition of the human uniqueness. - They will be able to critically evaluate the reductive approach of natural sciences.
