Fundamentals of Theological Ethics, part I and II.

The subject has 2 lessons a week in the winter and summer semesters.

Fundamentals of Theological Ethics I is not a prerequisite for Fundamentals of Theological Ethics II, so it is also possible to start with part II - on condition that the student studies the prescribed literature partly covering part I.

The subject presents the foundations of theological ethics as understood by the Catholic Church, but it is open for all those interested, irrespective of their attitude to religion, i.e. also for those not living in the Catholic Church or in the Christian faith.

The subject deals with the basic questions as what is ethics, how can its validity be verified, what is the relation between ethics and religion, what is the role of conscience in moral decision making, the questions of the Church authority and individual responsibility etc. The general principles are exemplified by concrete applications. In the academic year 2018-2019 it concentrates on the topic of the development in the theological ethics.

The subject is not a formal lecture but a combination of a lecture with a seminar.

Some other titles of literature may be chosen according to the individual needs of the students.

The course is taught in English.
