Short description:	The aim of the course is to offer an outline of philosophical approach to main fields of culture defined by various axiological practices.

The critical analyses of selected artistic, linguistic and social as well as personal (e.g. bodily) practices will be mainly based on philosophical texts discussed during the course whose general goal is to show explicit and implicit cultural determinations of how people ascribe values and meanings to the world they live in.
