Course Objective

One of the aims of this course is to introduce the discipline of philosophical anthropology with respect to its sources, to its emerging conditions and to problems that it deals with. Being the oldest questions of philosophy, the question of What is human is related with other fields of philosophy. One of the main goals of this course in the light of especially the Enlightenment philosophy and Kant s philosophical outlook is to consider the problems of practical philosophy through philosophical anthropology and to evaluate the solutions that are proposed to these problems with respect to moral-political aspects of human.
