Question our ideas and thoughts on ecology and ideology and how they shape our judgement toward their direct implications on our lives.
Course outline
Ecology as new Ideology
Bioethics plays an important role in our society. Questions of ecology present a challenge not just to us, but to future generations as well. How they judge and decide on those terms will depend on their ability to critically evaluate all ideas around such term. Slavoj Žižek offers a unique attitude toward such ideas.
