Learning objectives

The course aims to offer the conceptual tools to understand ethical questions that our time poses, with particular attention to contemporary transformations of the social ties, the issue of community, the relationship between vulnerability, security and risk in the social dimension of human experience. Students will acquire knowledge of the main themes of public ethics and its contemporary lines of development; will be able to formulate autonomous judgments on the themes of the course; will be able to communicate the topics of the course to specialist and non specialist audiences; will be able to relate ethical issues to operational contexts, in connection with prevention and management of geopolitical, environmental, social, digital and sanitary risk.

Program

Ogni settimana 1.5 milioni di persone nel mondo si spostano verso aree urbane alla ricerca di opportunità e di una vita migliore. La specie umana trova così la propria precipua forma di convivenza nello spazio urbano, che può diventare a un tempo il punto di osservazione privilegiato per le trasformazioni della politica e della società. Prima parte del corso sarà dedicata a indagare le trasformazioni che hanno reso la città nell’antichità il luogo della politica e degli affari pubblici, nella modernità il luogo del lavoro e della produzione, nel contemporaneo il luogo della libertà e del consumo. Intrecciando filosofia morale, filosofia politica e urbanistica, nella seconda parte del corso ci chiederemo se la programmazione urbanistica sia davvero la soluzione per i problemi delle grandi metropoli, e se le impostazioni urbanistiche e architettoniche attualmente in voga sanno adeguare la progettazione alle esigenze della comunità. I casi di 'rigenerazione' urbana presentati nell’ultima parte del corso serviranno a verificare se questi casi correttivi possono aiutare la città a ritrovare la propria misura umana.
