Does the present exist indipendently of us or is a mental construction? Wich are the main characteristic of our time consciousness? Considering the conflict between the time of the physics and the one of our experience, we will examine some theories that try to reconcilate such two models of time.

The course intends to review the methodological and thematic issues of Phenomenology, one of the main currents of the 20th century philosophy. From the beginning, this broad philosophical movement aims to overcome the schematic oppositions (i.e. between absolutism and relativism or rationalism end empiricism) pursuing a program finalized to reject both the naïve positivism of the late 19th century and the many more or less relativistic-oriented philosophies. This course will analyze the origins of Phenomenology, Husserl’s thought especially, and its historical and philosophical context between late 19th and early 20th century. The course will also extend its analysis to the developments of phenomenology in other cultural contexts, taking in account its original reception in the french culture during post-world war I and post-world war II, especially by Jean-Paul Sartre and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, who founded a specifically French phenomenological tradition which currently exists.

The course aims at studying the essential components of the philosophy of listening in the twentieth century, from the chapter concerning musicology in Ernst Bloch’s The spirit of utopia to Nancy’s work All’ecout.

The contemporary crisis can be confronted as a crisis of the measure, that is, of the criteria and principles regulating the exchanges and relationships: among cultures, within globalizing process; among the State and the citizens, at the end of the modern frame of the Contract; among the different spheres of public life, such as school, university, labour and market; among different educational traditions, in the perspective of cultural homogeneous regions, such as the European Higher Education Area. The course aims to provide some critical and analytical tools for the interpretation of the solutions based on quantitative criteria: the liberal democracy model; the standards and the statistical descriptors in the international ratings; the costs-benefits analysis in the individual relationships; the skill, as the valuable outcome of learning.

Application of the compactness theorem, Löwenheim-Skolem’s theorem. Basic recursion theory, decidability. Completeness and decidability of a first order theory, examples. Peano’s arithmetic and Gödel’s incompleteness theorems.

The course examines the question of the “ethical difference” that separates ancient and modern students – the distinction between happiness and well-being – comparing Aristotle’s ethic of virtue and Bernard de Mandeville’s “moral paradox”.

THE COURSE IS DESIGNED TO ILLUSTRATE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PHILOSOPHY, ART AND CINEMA IN THE THOUGHT OF DELEUZE

Course's plan: a)Line and circle: paradoxes of time b)Theological sources of growth c)Dialectics of progress: fear and hope d)The symbolic reversal of the modern project: the syndrome of the “past future” e)Historical time contingencyf) Ontology of the present

The course explores the relationship between the philosophical and religious domains attempting to reconcile the two poles in the thought of Levinas and Ricoeur.

The course aims at analysing the ethical dimension of Joachim Ritter’s ethics

Starting from some kantian thoughts the course will analyse how the “matter” has become increasingly complicated, broadening its scope and forcing us to rethink its ethical implications, of its ties to the joint problematics of republicanism and federalism.

The relevance of Marx's text is the subject of deep discussions and disagreements of interpretation. The course aims to introduce students to the understanding of this issue through an analytical reading of the text of Marx.

Based on the reading and discussion of selected passages from the most important works of the three philosophers concerned, this course will seek to delve deeper into their – often innovative and original – ideas on the natural world and on the newly configured relationship between human beings, the world the inhabit and divinity.

This course will focus on Plotinus’ views on the soul and its cognitive activities: perception, memory and two kinds of thought, i.e. the (ordinarily conscious) discursive thought activity, and the (ordinarily un conscious) intellectual intuition. We will read passages from Plotinus’ treatises IV 3 [27], IV 4[28], V 3 [49].

The course aims to reconstruct the most relevant topics of the processing complex ontological univocity of the being in philosophical thought of John Duns Scotus Analytically following some key steps in Lectura and Ordinatio Opus Oxonian, will open a direct comparison with the thorough and systematic interpretation and the original proposal on the Master Franciscan studying developments in the debate between Aristotle and Augustine of the fourteenth century analogy of mysticism and ambiguity.

The course aims to shed light on the conditions of the linguistic notion of "transcendence", showing how this notion has both a religious and a materialistic declination.

THE COURSE IS DESIGNED TO INTRODUCE STUDENTS TO UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM ON MARX THROUGH READING ANALITYCALLY THE TEXT.

The lecture proposes to analyse the relation between ethics and technology in a world increasingly artificial where the acting, intended as the field of decision and responsability paves the way more and more to the making, intendend as the obtainment of results.
