Description

Vad innebär det att handla moraliskt? Bör du sluta äta kött? Har du ett ansvar för klimatförändringen? Hur kan vi resonera kritiskt och rationellt i värdefrågor? Vad är rättvisa? Står frihet i konflikt med jämlikhet? Vad kan vi veta om Gud, mirakel och livet efter detta? Vari består konstens värde?

Kursen introducerar den praktiska filosofins problem och arbetsmetoder. Frågor om värderingars och handlingars natur (på individ och samhällsnivå) är centrala. Samtida och äldre filosofers teorier presenteras och analyseras. Filosofiska synsätt anläggs på moraliska, politiska, estetiska och religiösa uppfattningar. Genom hela kursen belyses metoder för argumentation och kritiskt tänkande i relation till de olika filosofiska sakfrågorna.

How to apply

Lund University uses a national application system run by University Admissions in Sweden. It is only possible to apply during the application periods: October–January for autumn semester and June–August for spring semester.

Extended application deadline

Sometimes the application deadline is extended for a specific programme or course. In these cases you will find the message "open for late application" by the programme/course information on universityadmissions.se. You apply with the usual application steps. As long as this message is showing, it is possible to apply, but late applications are processed in order of date, so it is still important to apply as soon as possible. Please note that if the programme/course does not have an extended deadline, it is not possible to apply late.

First or Second Admission Round?

All international students are encouraged to apply to the First admission round. This round takes place many months before the start of a semester and gives students the time they need to pay their tuition fees, apply for and receive their residence permit (if required), find housing, etc.

The Second admission round is an alternative for students from EU/EEA countries as they do not need a residence permit. Non-EU/EEA students will most likely not have enough time to obtain their permit before the start of the semester. However, even EU/EEA students are advised to apply during the First admission round, as some programmes can be applied for only in the January round. Also, this provides applicants with an admission decision much earlier, which is helpful in making decisions about their studies.
