Program

The course will present the fundamental principles of the philosophy of care, in connection with the development of a philosophy of education phenomenologically founded.
We will present the two fundamental directions of the practice of care: the care for the other and the care of the self. Both these directions are strictly connected, because of the ontological relationality of the human being.
In particular, the course will focus on the following themes:
• the ontological reasons of care
• the ethical essence of care
• the ways and the postures of being-there which characterize care as practice
• care ethics and virtue ethics
• care for the other and care of the self
• spiritual practices for the care of the self
