FILO-4000 Seminar: Principles of Ethics
Ethics is concerned with the issue of how to act in given circumstances and the judgments on such manner of acting. This seminar dwells on the justification of those acts and judgments. The likelihood of basing or not ethics is especially relevant for politics, culture and society. The relevance moral judgments have in practical, individual and collective life depends on ethics. Along this line of thinking, the course seeks to focus in the analysis of the problems posed by the philosophical groundings of moral and ethics. It takes on an aporetical approach, based on the theoretical and practical problems of the discipline. The text used to spark the discussion is Lessons of Ethics written by Ernst Tugendhat.
