Learning outcomes
Didactical Methods of Teaching Philosophy: We aim at acquiring cognitive and hermeneutical competencies: a) about the most prominent discussions, within the Western history of philosophy, on teaching philosophy and ‘making philosophy’ with others; b) about the recent Italian debates on teaching philosophy, with reference to demands of philosophical education also in extra-scholastic contexts, with proper distinctions of recipients, philosophical demands and didactical contexts; c) about documents and and different ways useful for teaching philosophy. We will also try to encourage students' seminar as well, in order to improve students’ skills to organise real lessons on the on topics chosen by the students themselves.
Program
THE DEMAND FOR PHILOSOPHY IN TEACHING
The course aims to offer a philosophical look at the completely singular ways in which the lesson becomes a fundamental place for the implementation of the philosophical question.
Preferring intellectuals and philosophers who, starting from their experience in a school (or out of school) environment, have reflected on how teaching can encourage the formation of spaces for thought, the course will examine the observations of Roland Barthes. In the 1970s, on the sidelines of his experience first in high schools and then at the university, Professor Barthes wrote essays on the meaning of teaching, on the role of the teacher and finally an eulogy to the seminary. We will then examine the experiments that Barthes brought into his teaching, when he was elected to the Collège de France, to initiate new ways of giving a speech.
We intend to divide the course into a first theoretical part and a second seminar. In the theoretical part we will try to think about the ways in which it is possible to set up a lesson that is an exercise and sharing of thoughts. In the seminar part, students and attending students will be proposed to set up, each or in a group, a lesson by proposing texts taken from the history of Western thought.
