Learning outcomes

- Ontology of Relation (Module II)
The main objective of teaching is to illustrate and explain the structures which are necessary for there to be something like a "relationship". The "relationship" is not an experience which is in first place "human", but it is the condition of every continuity and discontinuity in the world. "Relationship" is what holds together and separates two or more elements, it is the condition of every identity and difference. Such ontology focuses on the structure which gives shape to the elements and to the whole of relationship, in spatio-temporal experiences, in concrete processes and in those of ideation.

Program

DIFFERENCE AND REPETITION

Gilles Deleuze described his speculative thesis as a "Transcendental empiricism", a proper philosophical cyborg that deserves to be investigated on its consistency. "Difference and Repetition", published in 1968 is book most "systematic" book by Deleuze and the one, which is most clear and structured about his thought. In some ways, everything that Deleuze published after, is nothing but an articulation of the structures of thought, which are presented in this book for the first time. "Difference and Repetition" takes a close analysis of the metaphysical tradition of philosophy, from Plato to Hegel, in which the thought of Nietzsche, Bergson and Freud is used as a crowbar to open the closed doors of “identity” and proposes a new understanding of "difference": a "difference" which is not a defective experience of "identity" and whose possibilities don’t rest on "judgment" and "law". But in this book Deleuze also discusses the basis of Structuralism, which dominated the French philosophical scene. The Deleuzian concepts of "virtuality" and "Idea" function as resurrection of "structure" from its ashes: a "fragmented" and nomadic structure that, in order to be understood, must produce Being an unprecedented "image of thought" and a new philosophy.

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.

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