Department of Normativity and Human Rights Research

Characteristics

The Department examines the emergence of normativity, persistence and change of norms in ethics and applied ethics. The central focus is the explanation of the philosophical aspect of human rights with regards to social and special conductive facts, normative aspects of philosophy of social knowledge and logic applied in law. Also, the department examines social cognition and different experiment with respect to their epistemic and methodological relevance. Normativity and its concept are the link between the members of the department.

PhD study topics for the academic year 2023/2024

Tutor: prof. Dr. Phil. Martin Muránsky, PhD.

The concept of ethics of equal respect and human rights

Study program: 2.1.2. systematic philosophy * Study form: full-time/external * Faculty: Faculty of Arts, Comenius University in Bratislava
Annotation:
The "forgotten" concept of the ethics of equal respect as a normative starting point in relation to the indivisibility of human rights is a key but still under-analysed problem. The reflection on this relationship will be in two perspectives: firstly, its anchoring in the principle of the relations of individual and collective autonomy, secondly, the elaboration of this normative starting point against the background of the ambivalent relationship of the right to property with the right to life.
