Learning Outcomes of UE

Students should understand the concept moral / ethical ? Philosophers have long recognized its dual nature : both seeking the good life and set of rules and injunctions . Hard to imagine a world where the concepts of good and evil would not run. Where does the moral sense ? During the visit, on one side, the spontaneous feeling of good and evil, and on the other hand consciousness shaped by beliefs and laws. For many Greek philosophers , Good merged with the Good. No real moral , then, but rather what is now called an ethic. How philosophy , through the great authors , and the humanities can they tell us about ethical issues ? While traveling through the ideas of philosophers , this course examines the moral judgments , guilt , disgust and compassion. The philosophy course prepares students for responsibilities as citizens may exercise their freedom and to respond in accordance with the ethical pluralism , while understanding the merits of social justice in a multicultural democratic society; they also constitute a necessary basis for any further learning . Keywords: justice - truth - morality - guilt - good / bad - virtues - reason - power -
