TFF - Teacher From Finland is my Youtube channel. This page is for my "course" Introduction to Ethics, based mostly on the Finnish national curriculum and books used at Finnish "senior highschools", and of course my own education.

On this website you can see what other courses I have planned to create for my channel.

You may follow my Facebook page, where I post mostly "memes", and notifications when I have published new videos: https://www.facebook.com/jouni.vilkka.
I also have been writing a blog at https://jounivilkka.blogspot.com/ (part of the content is in Finnish, but I will be mostly writing in English from now on).

FI2 Introduction to Ethics

FI2 Ethics is the second mandatory course on philosophy in the Finnish education system. This is my version of that course.

(Note that all my videos include optional subtitles curated by myself.)
