Period

Learning outcomes

Dialogicity and Ancient Philosophy The course aims at teaching the use of philosophical terminology, which derives almost all from the Greek and Latin traditions, together with the critical use of texts also in the original classic languages (Greek and Latin) for becoming aware of relevant philosophical problems and concepts. It provides also: - the ability to understand ancient philosophical texts focused on the theme of care as well as to contextualize them from a historical-critical point of view; - the ability of contradictory argumenting by means of classroom confrontations and debates. Knowledge of the history of Greek and Latin philosophy (from the sixth century B.C. to 529 A.D.) is needed. Knowledge of Greek and Latin is of help, although not mandatory. Required, as well as enhanced through course attendance and activities, are a great attention to lexical analysis as well as the ability to critically examine philosophical texts thanks to argumentative discourse.

Program

Title and content of the course: "The Socratic Dialogue and the Care of the Soul".

The course tackles the rhetorical, anthropological and philosophical roots of 1) the dialogical thinking "against" the other (contradiction, refutation) and 2) of the dialogical thinking "with" the other (logic, dialectic). These dialogical modes will be examined by reading texts of Socrates's direct students (especially Plato, but also Aristippus, Aeschines, Phaedo, and Xenophon), in order to identify the lines of continuity and/or discontinuity between the ancient Socratic dialogue and its reprise in contemporary philosophies of dialogue (such as philosophical hermeneutics, philosophical counseling, and extrajudicial conflict resolution).
The course will provide a shared reading of dialogical units drawn from Socratic literature: students will be involved in discussing the positions held by the characters in the text and, where possible, in applying the dialogical "thinking with the other".

TEXTS TO BE READ FOR THE ORAL EXAM:
A) L. Napolitano, Il dialogo socratico, Milano, Mimesis 2018 (the student will choose one modern author in the first part of the book; the second part of the book should be read entirely).
B) A. Stavru, Socrate e la cura dell'anima, Milano, Marinotti 2009.
C) Dispense (with texts by/on Aristippus, Aeschines, Phaedo, and Xenophon and secondary literature on the Socratic dialogue by C. Kahn, L. Rossetti, V. Dinapoli, and L. Candiotto).

NON-ATTENDING STUDENTS:
Non-attending students will bring the same texts as attending students, except for the volume by L. Napolitano "Il dialogo socratico," which will be read in its entirety.

Examination Methods

Teaching method: The course will be held in accordance with the provisions on COVID-19 issued by the University of Verona. The course includes lessons and seminars in which texts will be read and discussed. Attendance is therefore useful, but not mandatory. Given the unpredictability of the health emergency, lessons will be recorded via panopto/e-learning/Zoom and uploaded on the Moodle platform. In case of specific provisions issued by the University of Verona, these lessons may eventually replace the teaching in presence.

Office hour: Throughout the academic year, the instructor is available either in his room, or via e-mail, or via Zoom/Skype.

Evaluation method: The student will be interviewed orally or via Zoom (depending on the developments of the health emergency). Students can choose a topic from which they can start their exam. Such choice must be communicated to the teacher by e-mail at least one week before the date of the exam.



Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
