Program
------------------------
MM: MODULO I
------------------------
PREREQUISITES: Knowledge of ancient and medieval philosophy. COURSE CONTENT: The Thought of Kant: Ethics and Enlightenment. The course will consist of four parts: 1) Introduction to the history of early-modern philosophy (15th-18th centuries): cross-trajectories (e.g., religious tolerance, the notion of “prejudice”, criticism of the principle of authority); 2) Introduction to the German Enlightenment (Aufklärung): historical and cultural features, periodization, major authors (e.g., Chr. Wolff, G. F. Meier, G. E. Lessing, M. Mendelssohn) and basic concepts (enlightenment: Aufklärung; autonomous thought: Selbstdenken; maturity: Mündigkeit; prejudice: Vorurteil; vocation of man: Bestimmung des Menschen; universal human reason: allgemeine Menschenvernunft; perfectibility: Perfektibilität/Vervollkommnung); 3) Introduction to the thought of Kant: works, terminology and main theses, with special attention given to ethics and its basic concepts; 4) Reading of and commentary on Kant’s essay An Answer to the Question: What is Enlightenment? (1784). TEACHING METHODS: The course will consist of both lectures and discussions guided by the professor with a view to enabling students to attain both the knowledge- and the skills-related learning outcomes outlined above. Furthermore, there is the opportunity to prepare short papers on topics previously agreed on and to present them in class. The plurality of teaching methods is conceived of as a way of helping students, who will be offered as wide a range of learning paths as possible. MANDATORY READING: 1) G. Cambiano e M.

MM: MODULO II
------------------------
Genius and madness The course aims to explore the relationship between reason and madness in some contemporary authors. After presenting Rousseau's confrontation with the delirium of persecution, mention will be made of the madness of Jakob Lenz, the German playwright of the Sturm und Drang, re-read through the literary rewritings of Geog Büchner and Ingeborg Bachmann. Reference will also be made to the relationship between genius and madness in Vincent Van Gogh and in Virgina Woolf. In more detail, we will analyze the relationship between health and disease in the work and life of Nietzsche; we will comment on Nietzsche's Ecce homo. We will consider the text of Helene von Druskowitz, Pessimistic cardinal propositions, which is a violent indictment against male misogyny by a philosopher, a contemporary of Nietzsche, who was locked up for most of her life in a mental hospital on a charge of hate for men. In summary, the program is as follows: 1. Commentary of Nietzsche, Ecce homo . 2. Analysis of the Pessimistic cardinal propositions of Helene von Druskowitz 3. Analysis of Tommasi, Reason to the test of madness General part: Fichte, Schelling, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, Husserl, Heidegger, Weil, Lévinas, Freud. Monographic part: Nietzsche, Friedrich, Ecce Homo. Come si diventa ciò che si è, Adelphi, Milano 1969 Von Druskowitz, Helene, Vademecum per gli spiriti più liberi. Proposizioni cardinali pessimistiche, Castelvecchi, Roma 2017 Tommasi Wanda, La ragione alla prova della follia, Liguori, Napoli 2018

Examination Methods
------------------------
MM: MODULO I
------------------------
Oral exam. The exam aims to assess the attainment of the course’s twofold learning outcomes (knowledge/understanding and skills) with special attention being given to ability to compare the authors studied, and this will be addressed as follows: 1) (autonomously) outlining a cross-trajectory in early-modern thought: students will have to demonstrate possession of basic facts and notions, showing ability to explain them in a systematic manner and follow their diachronic development; 2) defining one or more philosophical concepts belonging to Kant’s terminology: students will have to prove ability to formulate precise definitions, and possibly make connections between them; 3) reading of and commenting on a philosophical text from among those discussed in class: students will have to demonstrate acquisition of a robust methodology for analysing texts and reflecting on their theoretical implications. Each part of the exam has equal weighting, i.e., 1/3 of the final mark. Students who will have presented an optional short paper will be exempt from the part of the exam corresponding to the nature of the work already done. The paper’s assessment will contribute a third of the final total. No distinction will be made between attending and non-attending students. Non-attending students are however requested to contact the professor in order to receive instructions on how to prepare the cross-trajectory described above (cf. 1).
------------------------
MM: MODULO II
------------------------
Evaluation method: oral exam. The exam’s purpose is to assess students’ knowledge and understanding of the covered topics and to evaluate the ability to compare the authors acquired by the students. The vote will be expressed in thirtieths. The difference between attending and non-attending students will be taken into account.
