El funcionamiento de toda sociedad se basa en el cumplimiento de una serie de normas morales basadas en las reflexiones de la vida en torno a las cuales surgen preguntas muy interesantes: ¿Quién dicta las normas éticas? ¿Qué obligación tenemos de cumplirlas? Si debemos cumplir unas normas, ¿dónde queda la libertad? ¿Es compatible la libertad individual con la justicia social?

En este curso de filosofía veremos cómo afrontar estas preguntas con un sentido crítico, esto imprescindible para dar un nuevo rumbo a nuestra sociedad y salir de la crisis de valores en la que nos encontramos inmersos. Es importante entender el significado de la ética y su impacto en nuestras vidas. Sólo la filosofía, la reflexión, el estudio de la historia y el amor por la cultura pueden marcar el rumbo necesario para construir una sociedad libre, justa y solidaria.
