Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
In the Corona pandemic, it became clear that the well-being of human beings depends to a large extent on the fact that certain processes are possible that constitute being human and allow existence to be perceived as human. The seminar takes this observation as a starting point and asks what is human. This fundamental anthropological question is highly relevant if we want to shape even difficult times in such a way that people can lead good lives and live meaningfully. Nevertheless, it is not easy to determine what is human, because today's images of humanity are very diverse. Therefore, the seminar will take different approaches to ask what constitutes the human. Therefore, scholars with different areas of expertise will be involved. Among others, philosophical, evolutionary-biological, psychological and theological approaches will be discussed in order to get on the track of the phenomenon of the human and the question of what this then means for the design of an ethics.
