Learning objectives

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.

Prerequisites and basic notions

There are no prerequisites.

Program

THE ATOMISTIC TRADITION
Generally atomism is understood as a scientific-philosophical hybrid which, born in Greece, finds its fulfillment in contemporary quantum physics. We will try to understand the purely philosophical nature of this tradition of thought, starting from the question: what is the atom? We will begin by reading and commenting on the young Marx's doctoral thesis on Epicurus and Democritus, then moving a step back towards Lucretius and finally moving towards those thinkers who have questioned in the most fruitful way the statute of this strange thing we call the "atom", above all Nietzsche, Ruyer and Whitehead, the philosopher for whom "the ultimate metaphysical truth is atomism".

Didactic methods

Frontal lessons and seminar meetings with student reports.

Learning assessment procedures

There are three possibilities to pass the examination:
- Those who have attended at least three quarters of the meetings of the 'lectures' part (18 out of 24 hours), three quarters of the meetings of the 'exercises' part (18 out of 24 hours) and have prepared an oral report discussed in the classroom, will receive a grade proposal at the end of the course, which, if accepted, will be recorded on the day of the appeal.
- Those who have attended at least three quarters of the meetings of the 'lectures' part (18 out of 24 hours), three quarters of the meetings of the 'tutorials' part (18 out of 24 hours) and have not prepared an oral report discussed in the classroom, will write a report of approximately 18,000 characters, the topic of which must be agreed with the lecturer at least one month before the date of the appeal and which will be discussed orally in the examination.
- Those who have attended less than the meetings in the two cases listed above, or have not attended at all, will write a paper of approximately 24,000 characters, the subject of which must be agreed with the lecturer at least one month before the date of the appeal and which will be discussed orally in the examination.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

PLEASE NOTE: In order to be admitted to any teaching activities, including those of your choice, you must be enrolled in the academic year in which the activities in question are offered. Students who are about to graduate in the December and April sessions are therefore advised NOT to undertake extracurricular activities in the new academic year in which they are not enrolled, as these graduation sessions are valid for students enrolled in the previous academic year.
