Teaching courses at the TU of Munich, Prof. Dr. Kurt Jax

On the basis of varying timely topics from ecology and conservation biology, a seminar is offered on: "Philosophy of nature and the landscape: environmental aesthetic, environmental ethic, philosophy of ecology". Major questions dealt with are, e.g.: Which colloquial and scientific perceptions and ideas of nature exist? Which values are connected to these various ideas? Which methods are adequate to capture these values?
