History of Ancient Philosophy (m) (2013/2014)
The teaching is organized as follows:
Learning outcomes
Module: II MODULO PARTE (II)
-------
Pedagogical aims: We aim at teaching the use of the proper philosophical terminology (nearly all deriving from the ancient Greek) and the critical reading of original philosophical texts, in order to acquire basic philosophical matters and concepts. Also, through seminars and debates, we aim at making postgraduates to acquire a skill to cross-examination.
Prerequisites: A general knowledge of the history of ancient philosophy (from VIth Century b.C. to 529 a.D.) is presupposed. Surely s competence in ancient Greek and Latin languages makes it easier the work within this scientific field, however it is not compulsory. An attention to lexical research and an interest in a critical reading of philosophical texts and to arguments are very useful.

Program
Module: II MODULO PARTE (II)
-------
Title and Subject of the course:
On being, or on the history of philosophy as a question. The course provides an integral and analytical reading of Parmenides’ On nature and of Plato’s Sophist, stressing particularly the concept of being and its becoming a philosophical question. The concept of being represents in these texts not only the core object of philosophy, but also the field where the “battle” between the philosophers takes place and philosophy develops historically. By considering Hegel’s approach to the history of philosophy, the course pays attention to the question of the theoretical premises on which the interpretation of Greek authors can be grounded.
Bibliography:
I Module
- Parmenide, Sulla natura, in I presocratici. Testimonianze e frammenti da Talete a Empedocle, a cura di A. Lami, BUR, Milano 1991 (or later editions).
- Platone, Sofista, a cura di B. Centrone, Einaudi, Torino 2008 (or in any unabridged edition with the Greek text).
- Lecture notes (with some commentaries on Parmenides and on Plato’s ontology): available at copisteria “La rapida” and “Ateneo”)
II Module:
- G.W.F. Hegel, Lectures on the history of philosophy (Introduction and chap. on Parmenides): an Italian edition of this text (ed. Laterza) is also available in Kindle edition.
Didactical Methods: The course will be carried on by frontal lessons, with direct reading of the texts and following discussions. Therefore attendance at classes will be very useful and desirable, though obviously not compulsory.
The same program is valid for students who cannot attend lessons; nevertheless, they must get in touch with the teacher, in order to receive indications on adding texts, whose reading will compensate for lacking attendance: these texts will be agreed for every student, with regard to his previous knowledge, curriculum and interests.
