Learning outcomes
Based on the knowledge of moral philosophy classics and on the main themes of the western philosophical tradition emerging from them, the course also aims to promote the development of the skill to understand philosophical moral texts within their historical-critical framework and a correct hermeneutic approach, the skill to appropriately use a thoroughly philosophical terminology and also to produce personal reflection in order to formulate independent judgements on the genesis, nature and meaning of the addressed issues. Finally, these objectives are also understood in order to develop the ability to continue studies in a Master’s degree.
Program
About the origin of the link between reason and moral agency: Kant and the “Groundwork of the metaphysics of morals”.
An interpretation and a discussion on Kant’s “Groundwork of the metaphysics of morals” (1785) and on its role in the context of trascendental philosophy will be proposed, with particular reference to the relationship between reason and moral agency. For this purpose, the following points will be developed inter alia:
- the “Groundwork of the metaphysics of morals” (1785) in the context of the development of trascendental philosophy, with particular reference to Kantian practical philosophy and to some biographical aspects about Kant;
- the role of a “Groundwork of the metaphysics of morals” regarding the relationship between practical philosophy and philosophical system according to Kant;
- the “Groundwork of the metaphysics of morals” as a research and a definition of the “supreme principle of morality”;
- understanding “good will” and “duty” by Kant: the need for the knowledge that leads to practical philosophy;
- comparison with “popular moral philosophy” and the distinction between autonomy and eteronomy of the will as a fundamental aspect establishing Metaphysics of morals;
- categorical imperative and hypothetical imperative;
- freedom as origin of the autonomy of the will;
- “ideas of morality” and the kantian distinction between sensible world and intelligible world;
- the “extreme limit” of practical philosophy according to Kant;
- Kantian practical philosophy and the issue of concreteness.
