This course aims to introduce students to the fundamental concepts of philosophical ethics and to allow them to participate in the contemporary discussion of these themes in an informed way.
Students should acquire competences that enable them to critically reflect on possible answers to the following questions: "How is it possible to assess the truth value of moral judgments? Via which faculties can we gain access to those truths? What is valuable? What is the ultimate criterion of morality?”. Each of these questions will be discussed in the context of the traditional areas of philosophical ethics: metaethics, also known as “moral epistemology”, and normative ethics. By the end of the semester, students should possess the autonomy necessary to read and critically interpret any contemporary article on the contents studied in class.
