The goal of the lectures and seminaries is to create firstly a "jumping board" for further philosophical thinking during subsequent years of studying and secondly to create a sufficient ethical reflexion of topics and issues taught in parallel modules, especially concerning molecular biology and genetics. The aim of this course is to provide a basic lookout in the field of philosophy and sociology as well.

During the lectures, the students are introduced to the very basic philosophical thinking and to the fundamental notions of medical ethics. Different types of ethical theories (mentioned during the letures) are critically reflected in the seminaries. Beside that, in the seminaries are discussed different case reports and students are during the process of reflexion trying to shift their position from the descriptive ethics to the normative one, supported by arguments.

Dear Students, we have decided to go back during the academical year 2013/2014 to the good old tradition of written test. The test is based on the principle of multiple choice, in which one and only one of the proposed answer is correct. Or, in the different kind of questions, you have to fill to the text one word, term etc. The questions are strictly made from the PowerPoint presentations of our first year lectures and seminaries, which you can find at "vyuka" web page. So, for obtaining a credit there is no essay this year and instead you will receive the credit on the basis of above mentioned written test at the end of the semester. If you have any question, don´t hesitate to write to the address marek.vacha@lf3.cuni.cz or call me to the phone number +420 777 24 23 97 (Marek Vácha)

A secondary school knowledge concerning philosophy is welcomed but not entirely necessary, but very useful/indispensable is a basic outlook in the field of molecular biology and genetics. |
