Anotace

Poslední úprava: Bc. Veronika Chalupová (10.03.2024)

The aim of the course lies in opening the question: what constitutes the universality of the university. On the one hand, it will be about understanding the problems of the social sciences and their articulation, on the other hand, about understanding the social sciences as a problem. Who else than the teacher must know not only the particular fields, but also understand their limits and the ways of methodological objectification with which they work.
