M-FIL/06 - HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY

Period

Sem. IIA, Sem. IIB

Learning outcomes

The course on History of Philosophy is aimed at providing the basic notions that are indispensable to frame and critically understand the contemporary issues concerning historical and social sciences. Special attention will be dedicated to the classics, in order to highlight a developing and deepening line of Philosophy’s fundamental speculative nuclei, though in changed historical conditions.
This year's course, centered on the theme of dialectics between active citizenship and political dependence on the homeland, first studied in Plato and then in the classical German philosophy, offers further evidence of the continuity in the philosophical discourse, albeit in the diversity of solutions proposed.
The ability to read and understand the texts will be particularly attentive and tested during the exam; students will be brought to dialogue with some of the protagonists of philosophical thinking, refining terminology and exercising, at the same time, the ability to link the knowledge acquired through personal experience.

Program

The course is articulated in two (equally loaded) parts.
Basic part: knowledge on the following topics is required: pre-Socratics and Socrates; Plato’s thought; Aristotle and Aristotelianism, Stoicism and Epicureanism; Roman philosophy and Neoplatonism (Plotinus); Christian philosophy and St. Augustine; Scholastics and St. Thomas; William Occam and the end of the Medieval thought; modern science: Galileo Galilei and Francis Bacon; modern philosophy: René Descartes; Spinoza’s monism; English empiricism: Locke, Berkeley, Hume; Leibniz’s monadology; G.B. Vico’s historicism; Kant’s criticism; German idealism: Fichte, Schelling, Hegel; Positivism: Comte, Stuart Mill; Schopenhauer’s thought; Marx’s historical materialism; Nietzsche’s thought.
Specialized part: Reading and Commenting on the "Apology of Socrates" and "Criton" byPlato and study of the idea of Nation in its philosophical declination between the Age of Enlightenment and Romaticism
