Aim of the course

Last update: PhDr. Zuzana Svobodová, Ph.D. (26.06.2023)

The aim of the course is to deepen the understanding of the phenomenon of human freedom. Students will be guided by the course content to distinguish between the range of ratio and intellectus, and to appreciate the importance of festivity in human life. The distinction between what is natural and what is cultural in human life will be reflected upon, and the relationships between the cultivation of both will be sought.
