Synopsis:

The subject combines the teaching of several social sciences: economics and economic policies, political science, political philosophy and law, with an overview of the development of architecture. In the section devoted to economics, the basic categories of the market economy, the foundations of economic policy and the basic concepts of international economics are explained. Theoretical interpretation is effectively combined with practical examples from economic reality. In the lectures devoted to law, a brief overview of the development of Roman law and its institutions is supplemented by a well-founded interpretation of the constitution, human rights and the labor code. Great attention is paid to selected provisions of the Civil Code and the Construction Act. In the political science lectures, the political development in ancient times is described in an engaging way, the theory of the state, political systems, democracy and totalitarianism are clarified. The series of lectures on the history of architecture and construction provides a comprehensive interpretation of the history of architecture from antiquity to postmodernism and deconstruction.
