Students taking this course will master the methods and skills in Philosophical Aproach to the Themes in Epistemological Value Theory and Virtue Ethics in the following two ways:
1. Reading of Original Texts in the contemporary german philosophy
2. Critical Reconsideration of secondary materials about selected Topics.
Beginning with the guidance about Phenomenological Value Theory and Virtue Ethics as well as the explanation of the texts students acquire through elaborate reading of elementary texts knowledge about relevant concepts and problems. By making a practice of reading elementary and secondary texts students learn systematically the research methods of Western Philosophy especially from the epistemological and methodological point of view. |
