This course will consider the following topics and questions. 'Côté physique' and 'côté métaphysique ou moral': socialization as alienation or as realization of the human? Needs and passions: amour propre as corruption or as the development of amour de soi? Ownership and Power: Despotism as Truth or as Denial of the Covenant?

The course presents the various strands of the eighteenth-century reflection on the habit, focusing mainly on the doctrines of Condillac and Hume, moving from the seventeenth century premise made by authors such as Descartes and Malebranche to arrive - from the 18th to the 19th centuries - to the reflection of Maine de Biran, author of the first philosophical monograph entirely devoted to this theme. The theme addressed will be appropriately framed within the enlightenment scenario of which the main theoretical background lines will be presented together with some models of historical-philosophical interpretation.

This course aims to present the general aspects of Physics focusing on matters of principle highligh by different physical phenomena and experiments. The various arguments are presentend starting from direct observation of natural phenomena. On the basis of this observations, it will be formulated questions about the laws of nature and it will be discussed the understanding oh these phenomena in Physics. The topics covered are those of general physics (mechanics, electrostatics, the nature of wave phenomena and light, bases of thermodynamics). Moreover during the course it will be presented some topics of more advanced modern physics for example Relativity Theory, Quantum Mechanics, antimatter, the problem of dark matter of Universe.

In general, the course will focus on the history and philosophy of space and time, giving particular emphasis to 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 that have dealt in particular with these questions. We will introduce the student to the deep link existing between chance and irreversibility

Philosophy and Psychology. Pragmatist perspectives.

The seminar aims to reflect on the relationship between philosophy and psychology from pragmatist perspectives. In particular, starting from the analysis of some key texts, we will try to highlight the elements of continuity and discontinuity between classical and contemporary authors that can be closely related to this tradition of thought.

Reference List will be provided during the seminar.

The course intends to rebuild the more relavant philosophical topics on the questions of truth in the medieval period. Following analitically some key assumptions enucleated by Augustine of Hippo and by Patristics tradition, the different philosophical lines that have characterized the Scholastic debate on metaphysics, ethics and politics will be studied in depth.

We will work on Kant's "Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals". A written paper on the text will be required.

Immanuel Kant, "Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals", any edition

Programma (inglese): the laboratory will alternate theoretical moments, during which the constitutive elements of the philosophical argument will be analyzed, and practical moments, articulated in two main modalities: (i) reading, analysis and commentary of the texts indicated by the teacher; (ii) written exercises on the texts themselves.

Bibliography will be presented by the teacher at the beginning of the course.

In our society religion and religious issues have an important space, which can be recognized in different forms of belief.
This class offers an introduction to the principle themes and theories which emerge in the history of the studies about religion/religions. We will try to tackle the difficult question "What is religion? What are religions?". In particular, we will discuss different theories about religion, its essence, its function in the society, up to the last approaches which underline the imbrication of religion with cultures, politics and societies.


Key words and topics (body, gender, violence, space) will be discussed in a comparative and historical approach.

This course aims at presenting the general aspects of physics with a special focus on the principles highlighted by observable physical phenomena and experiments. Topics of the course are presented starting from direct observation of natural phenomena. From these observations we formulate questions about the laws of Nature and we discuss the understanding of these phenomena in Physics. Topics of the course are mainly material for general physics courses (mechanics, electrostatics, nature of oscillatory phenomena and the light, basics of thermodynamics). Furthermore, during the course some more advanced topics in modern physics will be presented, for instance the theory of relativity, quantum mechanics, antimatter, the problem of the dark matter of the Universe.
