Philosophical foundations of psychology WNP-PE-FILC
Students prepare a PowerPoint presentation for one of the following topics:
Topic 1 Man - intelligent animal?
Topic 2 Material or spiritual?
Topic 3 Life without purpose
Topic 4 Why evil?
Topic 5 Deadly - immortal?
Topic 6 Sentenced to solitude?
Topic 7 Effective or prudent?
Topic 8 Religion or myth?
Topic 9 Cosmopolitans or Patriots?
Students have to put up a detailed research question and formulate their own answer. The basis of projects are proposed philosophical texts. Students are supposed to complete the content of philosophical knowledge with knowledge of others disciplines provided in the course of learning (at the elementary level) and religious knowledge and to illustrate the problem by the film (or chosen work of art). The exercise will focus on the problem of integral anthropology and the differences between the types of knowledge (science, religion) and between the language of the message (science, art, religion). For each presentation will be a discussion in which all classes' participants are involved. Consequently, all students are required to know the full range of philosophical texts provided for topics 1-9.
