The course aims to introduce students to the knowledge of the main currents of Western philosophy. Through the reading of classical texts, it aims to provide students with knowledge and critical understanding of the historical, epistemological, and methodological foundations of historical-philosophical research. By indicating the difficulties presented by the texts and the different possible interpretative solutions, it also aims to stimulate the student's critical reflection and autonomy of judgment. Particular attention will be given to the knowledge of topics that promote the development of cultural and professional competence in the educational and training field.
