The course in History of Philosophy is part of the program in Philosophy (BA level) and is included among the basic training activities.
The course (BA) has the following learning objectives:
1. to develop knowledge of the most important concepts and authors of modern and contemporary philosophy (Leibniz, Kant, Husserl);
2. to promote the understanding of the historical-cultural contexts in which these concepts were formed;
3. to develop the ability to apply methods of analysis and historical-philosophical knowledge in the research activities preceding the performance of the final exam;
4. to promote learning skills and autonomy of judgment.
Upon completion of the course students (1) are expected to know the basic issues of the modern and contemporary philosophy (Leibniz,Kant, Husserl); (2) have acquired a scientific attitude to exmination the writings discussed in the course. In particular, they will have developed:
- skills to interpret the signs and meanings of didactic communication between teacher/student and student/student;
- to analyse a philosophical problem from different points of view;
- to identify contradictions in a philosophical argument;
- to control the relevance and meaning of the conceptual expositions;
- to draw conclusions from a variety of observations and inferences.
These skills are promoted during the seminar work that is an integral part of the course through writing texts and collegial debate. The seminar activity of writing and discussion is also aimed at the acquisition of linguistic-communicative skills.

The course aims to enable a critical reflection about two ethical and social categories: body/mind, sensibility/intellect, quantity/quality,discrete/continuous, mechanism/teleology. Favoured are knowledge, awareness and critical analisys of some theoretical and moral issues of the contemporary history of the philosophy. The lectures are based on direct reading of the texts of the classical philosophers included in the program. During the course, papers written by the students on a topic of the classical texts in the program are discussed in the lecture hall. The paper is typically 10-12 pages long (3000 words). The writing and discussion activities are aimed at promoting linguistic-conceptual skills, developing expressive, cognitive and critical potential in the specific subject area.Modalità Frequenza
