Taught as 'Self-Determination in the Context of Life' at a host institution. Self-determination, first used as a word of Kant, as a concept, but has been around since ancient times, may be regarded as the central category of ethics: to freedom and reason, the individual must prove effective in the act of self-determination, and only he can give autonomy and sovereignty to a person when it comes into play. It is therefore obvious that in applied ethics, dealing with the areas of activity in which freedom and autonomy of the individual must be explicitly saved or perceived representative, is very often regarded as self-determination. This applies also to thinking about the political philosophy that the institution of the state on the model of the self-determining individual can not avoid.
