Contemporary political and moral philosophy (Theories and Applications)

Detail

Course Summary

This research seminar deals with contemporary issues discussed in political and moral philosophy. In general, this branch of philosophy is interested in normative topics, not so much on what “is”, but rather on what “ought to be”. For example, since the times of Ancient Greece, political philosophy has been defined as the quest for the best regime. It addresses the question of what the ideal political regime ought to be. This seminar focuses on normative themes treated by contemporary philosophical theories.
Please note that this seminar is mainly for advanced students who prepare their graduation project 1 and 2, and who undertake individual research projects.
