Anotace

The subject Introduction to Ethics introduces students to the study of ethics as one of the disciplines of philosophy. At the same time, it provides the prerequisite for further development of this subject in its applied forms, including working ethics. The introductory topic will be the basic terminology, the epistemological starting point and the definition of ethics as an independent field of study. Next themes will be the history of ethics from the times of ancient philosophy, through the Middle Ages to the modern ethical concepts. More thorough analyzes deserve the current ethical debate that deals with World War II and the Holocaust, globalization of the world and ethical dilemmas related to it, such as the economic impacts of a globalized world, migration or environmental issues. Conclusion will include familiarizing with applied ethics in practical areas of human activity. The entire cycle will focus not only on classical ethics, but will also focus on discussions with students, or on the independent critical thinking of graduates of this subject, who will be able to professionally and professionally address the ethical issues of society.
