Course objectives
The course is focused on acquainting students with the western pre-modern philosophical tradition. The scope of the course is then determined mainly problematically, with the emphasis on lectures and seminars on the changes in philosophical thinking. In connection with well-known names from the history of philosophy, basic philosophical problems (epistemological, ontological, ethical and political) and changes in the assumptions on the basis of which these problems were solved will be presented. The accompanying goal of the course will also be to emphasize the importance of the philosophical tradition for what we could understand as European culture.
Learning outcomes
Students will acquire a number of competencies: they will gain an overview of the history of European philosophical thought and its development; they will get acquainted with the different ways in which philosophers have thematized the world, its knowledge, man, man in relation to the other and society; on this basis, students will then approach the understanding of the concept of philosophy, which can take various forms.
