As part of a twenty-year collaboration with Loyola University in Baltimore, our faculty once again hosted intensive ethics instruction this July in the form of the summer school "Ethics: Contemporary Moral Issues." This year, we welcomed a total of nine students from the USA, who, within the course, had the opportunity to become acquainted with the basic ethical concepts of selected authors and the key characteristics of Christian morality. In addition to the theoretical foundation, they also explored some key issues of applied ethics and the principles of ethical argumentation.
