Annotation -
The course introduces the basic concepts of philosophical and Christian anthropology. It is conceived as a preparatory study for
a preparatory study for subsequent ethics courses. The subject is based on three related thematic areas, namely the problem of the person,
the cognitive and desiring powers of the human person, and finally the soul and body as constitutive principles of the human person.
The aim of the course is to explain the theoretical foundations of philosophical anthropology, on which students can build in other
ethics courses (e.g., the dignity of the human person as the source of human rights and duties, freedom
decision-making as a prerequisite for a meaningful moral life, the physical-spiritual nature of man as a source of
justification of civic duties and commutative justice, etc.). Emphasis is placed on clarifying the context of
of basic anthropological concepts and principles with ethical thinking, or their application in ethics.
