Prof. Dr. Kurt Jax


Teaching

Seminar "Philosophy of nature and the landscape: environmental aesthetic, environmental ethic, philosophy of ecology"

The seminar is held every semester together with Dr.  Tina Heger and PD Dr. Thomas Kirchhoff. It takes place in the form of a compact course (one half-day and a whole weekend)

On the basis of varying timely topics, the seminar provides an introduction into the foundations of environmental aesthetics, environmental ethics, and the philosophy of science/ecology. Major topics 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?
