Ethics of the environment

AHS and BHS. The crucial question is the following: can morality be taught and learned? The topics chosen correspond with the Austrian curriculum, and help students to get ready for their teaching assignments in the future. The seminar also offers information on various topics related to teaching, such as the new Matura.

Students are supposed to attend and reflect upon one of the talks on didactics in philosophy, organized by the department.
