DORATO MAURO
(syllabus)
The course will focus on the relationship between physical and experiential time. Within this relationship, the nature of the present moment is particularly important: while physics can safely ignore such a moment, in our experience it separates an immutable past from a future that is not conceived deterministically or fatalistically but is rather regarded as open to our free decisions. We will read excerpts of classics authors in the history of philosophy as well as some contemporary authors that have dealt in particular with these questions. Finally, we will introduce the student to the deep link existing between time and free will
