| Inhalt |
This lecture is meant to create another bridge between the three disciplines involved in PPE. However, it is also open to non-PPE students! We will introduce central topics of PPE (and beyond) such as rationality, game theory, egalitarianism, utilitarianism, ethical limits to markets, discounting and climate change, justice, free riding, well-being, liberalism, neoliberalism etc. The idea of the lecture is to contextualize these topics, to offer some history and also, if necessary, to offer possibilities for critique. The perspective adopted is mostly philosophical but political science and economics will have their word. Also, we will always attempt to discuss theoretical concepts with reference to concrete examples or case studies.
The lecture will partly follow the so-called flipped classroom model (explained in the first lecture) which means that part of the lecture will be recorded first by instructors and watched at home by students. The classroom session then is meant to open up space for questions and discussions. It's a rather new teaching method for many of us so let's see how it works!
