SPS/01 - POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY
Period
Semestrino IIA dal Feb 25, 2013 al Apr 20, 2013.
Learning outcomes
The course aims at introducing and discussing some of the major issues concerning political philosophy
Program
Prerequisites: basic knowledge of the history of philosophy.
Content of course: Community and vulnerability: politics beyond violence.
The course will deal primarily with an analysis of the philosophical-political roots of the strict relationship between political agency and the dimension of violent conflict. Through the reading of authors belonging to different traditions, aim of the course is to underline and criticize a certain tendency, in the modern tradition of political thought – be it that of ‘order’ or that of ‘subversion’ - of postulating the human as ‘naturally’ aggressive and violent. The critique of such a tradition will bring into play different modes of understanding human action and politics, and their relationship with violence and conflict. The lens through which we will try to read the tradition is gender sensitive and rooted in an “ontology of vulnerability”.
