The lecture aims to introduce philosophical and bioethical issues.
It begins by defining philosophy and showing the differences between philosophical knowledge and other types of knowledge (common, theological and scientific).Then, the basic branches of philosophy are presented, such as metaphysics, epistemology, logic, and ethics, along with the main questions they try to answer.Basic ethical concepts (such as goodness, duty) and trends in ethical views (arethology, deontology, utilitarianism) are discussed in the context of metaphysical and epistemological assumptions.These issues constitute a theoretical basis for bioethical issues (concerning human life). Generally speaking, the main areas of bioethics will be discussed: bioethics of the beginning of human life (genetic bioethics), bioethics of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions (therapeutic bioethics) and bioethics of the end of human life (thanatological bioethics).While learning the subject, students learn the historical context of the emergence of bioethics as a separate discipline of knowledge in the 1960s. They will also be familiarized with the basic principles (principles) of making moral judgments in bioethics. Additionally, they will gain knowledge about the relationship between bioethics and the professional ethics of a physiotherapist.
