Learning Objectives
Knowledge: students verify their general knowledge by reading and commenting classical texts under teacher's supervision and by using specific bibliographic resources. Competence: by analyzing the text and by comparing it both with preceding as well as with contemporary tradition, the students develop their capacities in understanding and in developing autonomous evaluation. Furthermore they put text and concepts into correct context within the development of philosophical thought. Applying knowledge, they also exercise in elaborating coherently their own ideas and in exposing their achievements in proper scientific language.
Prerequisites
BA; basic knowledge of history of philosophy.
Teaching Methods
Traditional classes (face-to-face teaching) with moderated discussions, exercise on selected texts, (potential) preparation of short papers.
