Learning outcomes
Hermeneutics and Linguistic Practices The programme aims to encourage hermeneutic readings of philosophical texts by having students work directly on this technique during lessons. For this purpose, the course aims to offer the cognitive foundations of hermeneutical practice both in its historico-philosophical reconstruction and in the contemporary debate, emphasizing the different philosophical positions on the field. The purpose of the hermeneutical practice in the classroom is that students (females and males) can acquire an ability to interpret the philosophical texts proposed with a refined critical sense and with the ability to deal with different interpretations of the text itself and to discuss the different opinions. All this is done to create the habit of reading philosophical texts, which may subsequently be an acquired education for further situations in which interpretative skills are needed.
Program
NEW MATERIALISM AND OBJECT ORIENTED ONTOLOGY
The "new materialism" is a part of contemporary thought that focuses on the active, vibratory, flowing character of matter. Behind this philosophy there is (not only, but also) the thought of the extension of Jean-Luc Nancy and his reflections on touch. The new materialism emphasizes that experience is a fabric of relationships. It is very difficult to find substances and subjects within the matter of the new materialism, because there are only processes and exchanges, the stopping and freezing points are always very fragile. The predominantly American "ontology oriented objects" argues on the ontological status of the object which becomes the first brick of reality. The ontology oriented objects thinks diametrically opposed to the new materialism: the primary datum of experience is the solitary subsistence of objects, which are only able to enter into a relationship at a later time.
Is there anything that holds these two theoretical positions together? Or are they actually rivals and irreconcilable? But what is an object? And what is a relationship?
Bibliography
Examination Methods
Written report of at least 10 pages whose subject must be previously agreed and which will be discussed orally. The report will serve to evaluate the vocabulary, the critical-argumentative capacity, the ability to autonomously rework what has been learned. The vote is expressed in marks from 18 to 30/30. The test is identical for attending and non-attending students. Non-attending students are invited to contact the lecturer at least one month before the date of the exam in order to decide together the topic of the report.
