The course is designed to enable students to acquire hermeneutic skills and to develop critical viewpoints on the historical development of ethical theories and social policies. As for the history of ethics, the course will focus on those theories that gave an impulse to a re-formulation and re-constitution of moral traditions.
Students will acquire knowledge concerning social policies and the ability to apply them, in order to understand the strategic scenario, the opportunities and risks of the competitive environment in which they operate as actors of welfare and of public administration.
