1. Philosophy as a search for wisdom and good life. Understanding the influence of philosophical thought on contemporary behavior of man and society.

3. Epistemology. Basic trends in exploring the world - Greek, Cartesian, English skepticism, empiricism.
4. Soul and body. On the duality of human nature from the perspective of man's eschatological destiny - introduction to Christian anthropology (body as a source of existential conflicts; ideologization of the problem of corporeality - the body as an object of social restrictions and its role in fulfilling man's eschatological destiny - the vision of St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas; Augustine's concept of love as a value establishing human existence: medieval medicine and the theological interpretation of corporeality).
5. Modern metaphorization of nature as a source of denaturalization of the world (the idea of mathematical natural science and its impact on the progressive separation of man and nature; the Cartesian division of human nature into res cogitans and res extensa and its consequences for the formation of the modern vision of man; the establishment of mechanistic anthropology – ethical consequences.
6. The influence of history on society, concepts of Renaissance utopians. Locke's concept of liberalism and individual freedom.
7. Enlightenment ethics and its influence on the development of deontological codes: from naturalism to Kant's ethics of duty. (ethics as deontology - dispute about how to establish it; consequentialist and absolutist positions - references to medical deontology).
8. Dilemmas of contemporary philosophy of medicine and ways of solving them. The position of "anthropological medicine" as an attempt to resolve the conflict between the Hippocratic and Cartesian ways of practicing medicine
9. Existence and science - Life as a search for one's own identity.
