Learning outcomes
Philosophy of History The course aims to offer students the conceptual tools to understand the teaching of philosophy of history in relation to the questions posed by contemporary times. Students will acquire the knowledge of the Western reflection, as well as the following capabilities: ability to understand philosophical texts, to set them within a correct historical-critical perspective, to interpret them, to use an appropriate philosophical terminology, to autonomously form judgements on the subjects dealt with in the course, to communicate philosophical topics with specialists and non-specialists, and to continue their studies at a higher level.
Program
The course intends to retrace the most relevant passages of Nancy’s thought, from his original reinterpretation of Hegelian Phenomenology to the philosophical use of the Freudian and Lacanian lesson.
This path will allow to deepen the knowledge about the Hegelian dialectic and philosophy of history and about the relationship they have with the Freudian discovery of the unconscious.
From this point of view, Nancy's research offers the necessary tools to grasp the relevance of the Hegelian heritage, its limits and opportunities for a philosophical reading of Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis.
The course will deal with some fundamental notions, including negativity, experience, history, processes of subjectivation, formations of the unconscious, corporeality and sexuation.

Examination Methods
The lessons will alternate traditional frontal teaching with dialogical interaction with students, guided discussions, as well as reading and commenting texts collectively.
Any change of the timetable will be communicated on the teacher's web page.
Exam’s modality:
The exam will be oral and will assess the level of competency of the themes and fundamental concepts addressed during the course. The questions will aim to highlight the students' critical-argumentative capacity, their ability to use texts autonomously, as well as the communication skills necessary to give back with rigor and sufficient subjectivation the problems faced in class and in the books present in the bibliography.
The vote is expressed in thirtieths.
The examination procedures are the same for students attending and not attending.
