Learning Outcomes of UE

The students better have to understand(include) the moral / ethical concept? The philosophers recognized for a long time his(her,its) double nature: at the same time search(research) for the good(property) to live and set(group) rules(rulers) and orders. Difficult to imagine a world where the notions of the good(property) and the evil would not be current(have a class). Where from comes the moral sense? The course(price) visits, on one side, the spontaneous feeling of the good(property) and the evil, and on the other hand the consciousness forged by faiths and laws. For numerous Greek philosophers, the Good(Property) became confused with the Voucher. Not really of morality, thus, but rather what we name(appoint) an ethics today. How the philosophy, through the big authors, and can the human sciences light(enlighten) us on the questions of ethics? By travelling through the ideas of the philosophers, this course(price) deals with the moral judgments(sentences), the guilt, the disgust and the condolence, etc. This course(price) prepares the students to become citizens responsible and susceptible to exercise their freedom and to answer it in the respect for the ethical pluralism, while understanding(including) the legitimacy of the social justice in a multicultural democratic company(society). Keywords: justice - the truth - morality - guilt - the good(property) / evil - virtues - reason - power - democracy - citizenship.
