Learning outcomes

Horizon 2020 auspica la costituzione in Europa di società inclusive, innovative e riflessive. Il corso di storia della filosofia antica per il corso di laurea in “Filosofia” propone a studenti e studentesse un approccio per molti versi innovativo e certamente riflessivo sul tema del dialogo interreligioso. Finalità dell’insegnamento sono (1) la conoscenza e la comprensione del pensiero di Plotino nella sua articolazione sistematica, (2) la loro applicazione al dialogo interreligioso, (3) la costituzione di una propria autonomia di giudizio (integrare le conoscenze e gestire la complessità, e formulare giudizi anche sulla base di informazioni limitate o incomplete, includendo la riflessione sulle responsabilità sociali ed etiche collegate all’applicazione delle loro conoscenze e giudizi) e (4) il rafforzamento di abilità comunicative (comunicare conclusioni e conoscenze e la ratio ad esse sottesa, a interlocutori specialisti e non specialisti).
H2020 asks for societies in Europe that are inclusive, innovative and reflective. The course on History of Ancient Philosophy for the “B.A. degree in Philosophy” offers to students an approach that is innovative and certainly reflexive to the theme of interreligious dialogue. Teaching objectives are (1) knowledge and understanding of the thought of Hegel on religion and its systematic taxonomy, (2) their application to inter-religious dialogue, (3) establishing the ability to formulate judgments (ability to integrate knowledge and handle complexity, and formulate judgments with incomplete or limited information, but that include reflecting on social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments) e (4) strengthen communicative abilities (communicate their conclusions, and the knowledge and rationale underpinning these, to specialist and non-specialist audiences clearly and unambiguously).

Program

The main theme is the focusing of the stages of 'determined,' 'consummate' and 'absolute' religion as a philosophical interpretation of the Divine history of Spirit. Special references will be made to the tradition of the metaphysics of light and to the pair of concepts 'objectivity/subjectivity,' to Hegel's appreciation of medieval and modern theology, and finally to the recognition that the true and authentic goal of philosophy is to grasp the absolute as spirit.

Examination Methods

The exam will be an oral discussion and commentare t the required texts. For attendees, it will be possible to divide the exam into an oral and a written part, the former making 50% of the grade, the latter the remaining 50%.
