The new textbook Ethics in the Upper Secondary School &ndash, Bavarian Edition was explicitly designed for grammar schools in Bavaria and consistently implements the CurriculumPLUS for the upper secondary school.

• The expectations, content and competences required by the LehrplanPLUS are developed using diverse and varied materials (such as original philosophical sources, specialist texts and complex visual material) as well as competence-oriented tasks.

• The textbook demonstrates the relevance of ethical issues and teaches basic skills for forming ethical and moral judgements.

• Clearly structured chapters and the proven double-page principle give the volume a clear layout.

• The opening and closing pages provide a competence-orientated framework around each chapter by focusing on the process-related competences of ethics lessons.

• Method pages with step-by-step instructions provide a structured introduction to subject-specific methods and also serve as preparation for the Abitur.

• More complex plus tasks offer an opportunity for differentiation.

• Basic knowledge pages at the end of each chapter summarise the essential content clearly.

• Media and QR codes refer to additional material. They contain

• profiles of philosophers with background information on the respective person.

• longer text excerpts.

• a digital method library.

• an ethics portfolio that supplements the basic knowledge pages, clearly presents the specialised knowledge, can be expanded by the students and serves as preparation for the Abitur.

• A glossary of terms and a detailed explanation of operators with methodological tips round off the textbook.

The volume is organised according to the learning areas of the CurriculumPLUS for year 11:

• Philosophical interpretation of the human being
