- Course Content
On the basis of original texts we discuss ethical and axiological issues. The emphasis is on the tension between the autonomy of persons and the responsability for the other(s), the community, future generations, and (human or non-human) nature. The Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals of I. Kant is our historical-systematic starting point.
