Social Philosophy 3800-FSP23-M-OG
The aim of the lecture is to present classical and contemporary concepts of social philosophy. In the first part will be analysed problems related to the notion of community, human nature and its influence on social life and the formation of individual-state relations (e.g. Plato, Aristotle, St. Thomas, Machiavelli, Hobbes) will be reconstructed. The concepts constitutive of the social contract, the state of nature, law, property, freedom, democracy (e.g. Locke, Kant, Rousseau). In the second part, the modern model of the state and society will be confronted with the consequences of the historically progressive social modernisation, revealing the problem of labour, individualism, ideology, forms of consciousness, technology (Hegel, Marx, Frankfurt School). The course will close with references to theories that analyse the metaproblems of modernity - the problem of thought, intersubjectivity, the actuality of the project of modernity, the status of language for the construction of social community, etc. (Arendt, Habermas etc.).
