DESCRIPTION
The subject aims to analyse the culture as an ethical construction, and, subsidiarily, ethics as a cultural production. The practices and theorizations of culture are actually ways of use central concepts of the ethical tradition (understanding by that not only the moral philosophy but also the so-called moral
sciences, as well as ethical reflection, as it is implicit in literature, art, essay, psychoanalysis, Marxism, or religious experience). There is an elective affinity between the terms of ¿culture¿ and 'value' that it should be carefully explored, and this is the main objective of the subject. There is not any moral concept without cultural counterpart, hence a rigorous ethical analysis of the culture amounts to trace an exact maps of the cultural practices. In addition, the student will acquire expertise in the setting out and discussion of moral dilemmas constantly appearing in cultural practices.
