The main objectives of the course are the following: - to understand the modern ethics and its interpretation ways that are possible to relate to sport - to understand changes of ethics from antiquity to modern age (from Plató to Olympic Charter and Antidoping Code);
- acquire knowledge mainstream science dealing with moral issues in sports
