Thorough knowledge of contemporary ethics in terms of selected issues and theories; advanced ethical reasoning; the ability to relate selected issues and theories of ethics to one another, to analyze them in the context of current research discussion, to question them autonomously and to relate them to current social problems.

The course will be concerned with issues of contemporary ethics from a methodological as well as a substantial perspective.

Besides the resurgence of moral relativism, fueled by a recognition of cultural diversity and bordering sometimes even on moral scepticism, there are numerous questions in practical ethics, which currently shape and modify philosophical ethics.

In combination with methodological reflections these questions will be the content of the lecture.
