Università Roma Tre

The History of German Philosophy course has the following educational objectives:
1. strengthen the knowledge of the most important concepts and authors of German philosophy;
2. consolidate and apply the linguistic and conceptual methodologies of historical-philosophical analysis of the most important German classics of the eighteenth and twentieth centuries in the preliminary research works for the drafting of the master's degree thesis;
3. refine learning skills and independent judgement. In particular, students must develop and deepen:
- Linguistic skills that enable them to read and understand the original editions of contemporary philosophers covered by the course;
- ability to analyze a philosophical problem from several points of view also taking into account the most accredited critical bibliography;
- ability to detect contradictions or innovations in contemporary classical texts on the basis of the training received during the three-year degree course;
- ability to check and highlight the relevance and meaning of the characteristic elements of the conceptual expositions;
- ability to draw conclusions based on a plurality of observations and inferences. These skills are promoted during the seminars which are an integral part of the course through the writing of texts and collegiate debate.
