Course objectives
Introduction to Philosophy (PHZAFI) The aim of the subject is to introduce students to the basics of scientific methodology, discuss the concept of so-called paradigmatic evolution of science and the overall potentiality and borders of scientific knowledge. The currently existing plurality of scientific concepts and analysis of their particular manifestations and consequences should free students from secondary-school-like "fear of their own independent thinking" and at the same time it should demonstrate advantages of critical and analytical approach to the acquired knowledge. These newly-adopted abilities should enable students to understand in bigger depth the state of current scientific methodology and prepare them eventually for studies of special scientific disciplines. Along with this, an analysis of the individual scientific concepts will equip students with the elementary knowledge of the European philosophical tradition. Requirements for passing the course: knowledge of a foreign language, ability to use the Internet. Examination: paper, written test, oral exam.
