Semester 1-4
Autumn/Spring semester
The purpose of the course is to discuss the broad spectrum and neuroscientific background of affective phenomena of vital importance in human interactions from the perspective of the „affective revolution” which has recently taken place. The lectures bring into focus the debatable problems, beyond the studies and facts concerning affective phenomena. The detailed discussion of the debated questions will take place in seminars, connected with the themes of the PhD students.
This approach makes it possible for the participants to recognize and to consider the affective connections of their own research.
Requirements of the course: an oral or written presentation of the most recent literature on the affective problems related to the research of the doctoral student, and the discussion of this presentation within the course. The students can make good use of the results of the exchange of experiences in the practice of their PhD research.
