Program
Planete Earth is dealing today with an unprecedented ecological question.
Can we face in a proper political way the challenges posed by this global crises?
The Course aims to introduce and discuss the issue starting from some fundemental philosophical-political concepts and from the work of André Gorz. Thus, the first part will be particularly devoted to the concepts of "(political) citizenship" and "freedom", "property" and "(capital) accumulation". The second part will then focus on the reading of A. Gorz, "Ecologia e libertà", which can be considered as a classic in political ecology.
