Program

Subject:
STATE AND REVOLUTION
The course aims to reflect on the inaugural phase of modernity starting from two classic authors: on the one hand, the historian Eric J. Hobsbawm, who in "The Age of Revolution" offers a great historical-social fresco of the period included between the French Revolution and the revolutions of 1848; on the other, the philosophical and political reflection of Hannah Arendt, who in the essay "On the revolution" questions herself on the themes of freedom and equality.

Texts:
1) Eric J. Hobsbawm, "L'età delle rivoluzioni", Rizzoli 1999
2) Hannah Arendt, "Sulla rivoluzione", Comunità 2009

Methods:
Lectures will be based on reading and discussion of texts and topics.
