Social Philosophy 3800-ISP-SocP
The tutorial aims to introduce the problems discussed in social philosophy on the grounds of classical texts from this field of philosophy. The most important for the classes will be the understanding of how such concepts as community, society, state, and commonwealth are perceived from the perspective of social philosophers. Moreover, it will be analysed which concepts and categories are inspiring for social philosophy nowadays. After the introduction to a theory, there will be part of the classes focused on details or extensions of analysed problems. This part of the classes will have a form of a conversatory lecture.
