Period

Learning outcomes

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).
