Cíle předmětu
The course investigates the role of language in shaping our perception of reality, providing an introduction to key modern philosophical theories that scrutinize language and its impact on our understanding of the world. The theories of human understanding are presented in a historical sequence, departing from traditional theories of representation and introducing modern perspectives that challenge the notion that language merely represents reality, offering alternative concepts of human understanding instead. Drawing from the works of Dilthey, Gadamer, Heidegger, Foucault, and Saussure, this course offers an in-depth exploration of fundamental concepts in modern hermeneutics and humanities. This content-based course uses a second language as the medium of communication. Students learn language by situating concepts in their appropriate contexts, acquiring relevant vocabulary in humanities, and understanding and delivering content in their scientific domain of interest. By using English as the medium of communication, students not only develop their language proficiency but also gain a deeper understanding of their scientific field. The conditions for attestation include 70% attendance, an essay (1500 words) delivered with a research portfolio, and a presentation of a text/topic in the classroom should a student decide to pass an exam within the course.
