22910191 - Moral philosophy

The main objective of the course is to encourage reflection on moral experience, that is, on the ethical quality of human action, naturally oriented towards happiness. Morality is not only an art of living happily, but it is the art of discovering happiness worthy of man, that is, worthy of his humanity. In this perspective, the notion of virtue, elaborated by classical ethics and proposed again in the contemporary age, is central, as is that personal quality which allows us to give our best and to relate in a balanced way, that is, according to reason, with the world and with others. Even the notion of professionalism today is no longer understood simply as technical competence, but as authentic personal development and promotion of others, thus requiring a set of virtuous provisions that make it possible to improve work and improve oneself in work.
