Begleitseminar zum Studienprojekt: Dimensions of Personal Autonomy

Dozenten

Beschreibung

Given that there are enough interested students, it is possible to start this course in the winter semester 2021/22 as a study project and finish it in the summer term 2022.
Depending on the situation, the course will take place online or hybrid.

Content
Personal autonomy has been a central theme of practical philosophy from about the 1970s to the present, and is of "existential" interest, so to speak.
Important initial questions are:
When, under what circumstances, has one actually made a (major) decision in one's life in a truly free and self-determined manner? When are a person's fundamental values and attitudes really their own? When do they merely reflect the person's upbringing and social circumstances, without the person having really made the values their own?

Form/Procedure
Basically, the idea is that after a phase of joint orientation, the participants each look for a particular focus on the topic and work on it persistently, so that in the end a longer seminar paper emerges. This focus can be, for example, an author, but also a field. The idea of the whole project is that we stay in continuous discussion, report on progress and problems in the meetings, and read and comment on each other's texts; each participant can thus simultaneously acquire a particular perspective on the debate and gain a certain overview of the field. At the end of the project, a small conference is envisaged, where the results will be presented and discussed. This conference will be also open to other students or also interested lecturers.
