The course of the history of religions aims to introduce the critical understanding of the religious phenomenon; the evaluation of the knowledge related to the religions in relation to the contemporary postmodern condition and to globalization (educational, working and social contexts).
The course of Moral Philosophy/Ethics has two main objectives: in the first part, the course will focus on the basic issues related to the terms of ethics (good, evil, happiness, virtue, vice, life, death), on the concept of 'person' and 'acknowledgment' and on the relationship between technology and human action; in the second part, the course will present reflections on specific areas of bioethics (beginning of life, end of life, restraint, advance treatment dispositions) linking the principles to moral theories and the role of health care professionals.
