A first part of the course will be dedicated to the recognition of the terms and themes that have marked the evolution of moral philosophy and that distinguish contemporary debates in the many fields of applied ethics. Subsequently, a commented reading will be proposed of parts taken from Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics and Kant’s Critique of Practical Reason, to conclude with the analysis of the relationship between ethics and morality proposed by Ricoeur. |
