Learning outcomes
|
The objective of this course is to introduce students to the basic forms of anthropological thinking. The topic of the course is anthropology in philosophical/metaphysical thinking and philosophical anthropology as an attempt to bridge metaphysics.
Students will learn about the points of departure of anthropological discourse: from ancient myth to anthropological paradigms - animal rationale, imago Dei, and ego cogito towards the points of departures of modern philosophical anthropology and their meaning for the theory of education. The knowledge obtained through the philosophical texts - texts that focus on the self-recognition and self-understanding of a human being in the spheres of person, individuality, existence, the core of a human being, subjectivity, identity and authenticity - can be used in pedagogical contexts. The concepts that result from gaining the knowledge mentioned above will help in qualified work in the area of social work, media, civil service, and in all the forms of pedagogical activities.
