M-FIL/01 - THEORETICAL PHILOSOPHY
Period
Sem. 1B dal Nov 9, 2020 al Jan 9, 2021.
Learning outcomes
The ontological interrogation about relationships concerns those questions that emerge from the interconnection of different forms-of-being. The issues are discussed taking into account the historical context of the contemporary age, but with prevailing theoretical commitment. Knowledge and various skills (historical, political, legal, theological) are part of this discipline as proper setting for further interdisciplinary developments.
By the end of the course the students should have developed autonomy of reflection and critical judgment in order to elaborate reflections on ethics topics, philosophical language skills, and understanding of the texts, but also to be able to applicate the concept so developed to the problems of the contemporaneity.
Program
Of Fear and Power
Fear is, in a Spinozian way, a diminution of that power which for every living form comes from its linkages with other forms-of-life. Spinoza's Ethics is a possible guide to rediscover the meaning of this interconnection.
