Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The mainstream of the current theory of justice proves inconsistent with regard to the distinction of the spheres of the law and morality. Addressing this issue, the lecture discusses which relevance moral theory may attribute to a reciprocal external demand for Legitimation. Investigating contractualist conceptions of morality, it explores which elements of a comprehensive understanding of morality tend to get lost in a caontractualist approach. With reference to Kant, the notion of autonomy is applied as a tool of critical analysis.
Method: Lecture with time slots for discussion.

Assessment and permitted materials

Written exam (90 minutes); no written or electronic materials permitted.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

In order to pass the exam, four essays need to be written: two on the issues discussed in the lecture, two on the obligatory literature. (There will be a choice of questions.)
