(in Polish) Filozofia 2400-L1PPFIL

The seminar discusses selected classic philosophical issues; their classical character is confirmed by a choice of short study texts: both historical (historically classical), and closer to contemporary times (classical for contemporaneity). The comparison of selected material proves the perennial character of questions posed by philosophy, which allows the attendees to participate in a long chain of tradition presented to them in the class. Therefore,
the aim of the class, beside the introduction of selected philosophical topics, is to foster free discussion inspired by the analyzed texts.
