SPS/01 - POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY

Period

II semestre dal Feb 27, 2012 al Jun 8, 2012.

Learning outcomes

The course aims at introducing and discussing some of the major issues concerning political philosophy, especially those related to the contemporary global challenges that interest this field of research.

Program

Prerequisites: Basic knowledge in the History of Philosophy

Syllabus: Myths of violence: from Thomas Hobbes to Carl Schmitt

Through the reading of Hobbes’ Leviathan the course aims at analyzing the anthropological premises of modern political theory and the epistemological foundations of political rationalism. Consequently, by reading Carl Schmitt’s famous interpretation of Hobbes, we will try to define the role of violence in the shaping of the notion of ‘the political’ and its myth. The course aims also at proposing a critical and deconstructive approach to the typically modern notion of politics as space of violence and domination (Herrschaft).
