M-FIL/03 - MORAL PHILOSOPHY
Period
Sem. 1A, Sem. 1B
Learning outcomes
Moral philosophy Based on the knowledge of moral philosophy classics and on the main themes of the western philosophical tradition emerging from them, the course also aims to promote the development of the skill to understand philosophical moral texts within their historical-critical framework and a correct hermeneutic approach, the skill to appropriately use a thoroughly philosophical terminology and also to produce personal reflection in order to formulate independent judgements on the genesis, nature and meaning of the addressed issues. Finally, these objectives are also understood in order to develop the ability to continue studies in a Master’s degree, and the ability to communicate philosophical contents to specialists and non-specialists alike.
Program
The issue of the origin of evil and the search for the meaning of good: aspects of the thoughts of Leibniz and Kant in comparison.
It will be proposed an interpretation and discussion from the point of view of moral philosophy on the issue of the origin of evil and on the search for the meaning of good and again on the choice of the good by the human being in the thought of Leibniz and in that of Kant, taking as a reference for Leibniz the "Essays of Theodicy" and for Kant the "Religion within the Bounds of Bare Reason". To this end, these points will be developed, among other things:
- The Leibnizian doctrine of harmony and the problem of the origin of evil;
- The distinction between metaphysical evil, physical evil and moral evil according to Leibniz;
- The distinction between absolute necessity and hypothetical necessity and the question of freedom;
- The Leibnizian reflection on the wisdom, goodness and will of God in response to the thought of Pierre Bayle;
- The choice of good: the meaning of the "best" and the impossibility of "indifference" according to Leibniz;
- Leibnizian optimism and the vision of the whole as a source of understanding;
- The Leibnizian discussion of free will;
- The disposition to good in human nature and the issue of the origin of evil according to Kant;
- The struggle between the good principle and the evil principle "for lordship over man" according to Kant.
