Topic
During the course, we will discuss fundamental and core problems of medical ethics, philosophy, logic, psychology and methodology with the help of the popular TV show, “House, MD”. At each of the lectures, we will watch one episode from the show (40 minutes), and then we discuss the given topics of the week. The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the basic notions and questions of ethics and philosophy in an understandable and useful manner; furthermore, students shall be able at the end of the course to recognize philosophical and ethical issues in everyday life situations and should be able to identify scientific problems through the lenses of their common experience of the patients. Knowledge dissemination and domestication strategies will be dealt with from an interdisciplinary perspective (utilizing the methodological credo of “House MD”), thus the course might be attractive to students with different backgrounds and level of education.
