Information

Examination topics

The contents of this course are communicated by an interplay of literature studies and lecture, emphasizing on the ability of the students to work independently on the subjects of the course.

Assessment and permitted materials

The certificate for this course of study can be acquired by presentation of papers and by a final written work.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

In this course students should gain the breadth and sophistication of the arguments for and against basic income. This topic is well suited to make the inner coherence of argumentation understandable and to illustrate the connection between premises and conclusions. Insofar as this course is a complement to “the introduction to the theory of argumentation”, especially as the simplicity and clarity of the actual demand turns immediately into arguments pro and contra. Equally, the relationship between social development, transformation of Fordism and the emergence, dynamics and relevance of social and philosophical ideas are illuminated.
