Offer 1 with catalog number 1023481ANR for all students in the 2nd semester at a (A) Bachelor - preliminary level.
What is the human being? What is man, what should I do, what can I hope, what may I
know? These are the four Kantian questions. They form the leitmotiv of this course, in which
we take up the question of the interaction between people and the environment, with
research questions such as: how does man influence the environment and how do humans
react to the environment? Specific themes are of an environmental psychological nature
(e.g., privacy, territoriality, personal space, crowding, home), concern the place of humans
in nature and the cosmos, and the causes and consequences of the climate problem. The
student is able to formulate and defend a philosophical anthropological point of view. We study man's place in the unverse and the climate problem.
