At the end of this course the student should be able to: explain the relationship of man to the surrounding world; define I (ego); understand and explain the principles of conduct in relation to freedom; interpret the difference between morals, ethics and manners; analyze the approach of the world to science and science to the world; define tolerance and pluralism.
