Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course is designed to teach students to analyze arguments in ethical and theological texts and to take a stand for and against positions. For this purpose, scientific texts will be analyzed and discussed in turn, and students will practice their own argumentation.
As a basis we will use Herrmann et al., Schlüsselkompetenz Argumentation, esp. ch. 2-5. Depending on the group of participants, we will analyze chapters from W. Wolbert's book "Schmutzige Hände und weiße Westen" and/or English-language texts and practice strengthening arguments from our own scientific work.

Assessment and permitted materials

Participation in the analysis of texts and written exercises of ethical arguments.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Regular attendance (absence must be excused in writing), regular submission of written exercises.

Examination topics

An argumentation exercise must be approximately 1 page of A4.
