Strategic challenges for Austrian universities with a special emphasis on Vienna 2010 AD

Více o knize

The book critiques the glorification of classical philosophers like Kant, Hegel, and Hume in university ethics courses, arguing for a more nuanced presentation of their ideas, particularly regarding their views on marginalized groups. It highlights the need for critical engagement with these thinkers, suggesting that students should be made aware of alternative voices, such as Anton Wilhelm Amo, who faced prejudice despite his significant contributions. The work questions whether uncritical acceptance of these philosophers enhances or undermines democratic values in Austria.
