Learning outcomes

The ontological interrogation about relationships concerns those questions that emerge from the interconnection of different forms-of-being. The issues are discussed taking into account the historical context of the contemporary age, but with prevailing theoretical commitment. Knowledge and various skills (historical, political, legal, theological) are part of this discipline as proper setting for further interdisciplinary developments.

By the end of the course the students should have developed autonomy of reflection and critical judgment in order to elaborate reflections on ethics topics, philosophical language skills, and understanding of the texts, but also to be able to applicate the concept so developed to the problems of the contemporaneity.

Program

What does it mean to think? The experience of doing philosophy is inseparable from the ability to think. But what does it really mean to be able to think? Is it a capacity that is assumed subjectively or impersonally? Do you take it individually or collectively? How do these determinations change our own approach to thinking? The course aims to analyze and discuss the implications of thought in the contemporary era and to reformulate also the question of the philosophical discipline as an overcoming of the disciplinary nature of knowledge.

Any changes to the calendar of lessons and reception will be communicated on the web page of each teacher. There will be recordings of the lessons and streaming.
