“Passion/Subject/Otherness”. A journey through some fundamental concepts of the history of modern philosophy

This course will give an overall introduction to ancient philosophy from the origins to the 6th century CE. Furthermore, we will read passages from Aristotle regarding the theory of substance and categories.

The course aims to analyze the great question of the metaphysical proofs of God in the medieval period. After a preliminary introduction to the general historical philosophical issues most relevant of the middle ages, classes will focus on the rational foundation of the relationship between human knowledge and divine truth in the lyrics of some of he most significant contributions patristic and scholastic speculation.

The course intends to analyze the issue of the philosophy today, its sense, its validity, its research that, as such, is difficult to teach, in so far thinking, as Sartre said, is “to proceed beyond”. Undeniable is the role played by Lacan to carry us outside from Modernity towards a reality that begins where the world ends. Which is then the philosopher’s task? Rocco Ronchi, facing to the supremacy of analytic philosophy or the legacy of a historiographic and philological attitude, declares the end of the theoretical philosophy. What is left of a philosophy considered as a quest for the absolute and the universal, which cannot be reduced to the limits of the human thought? In the contemporary age this is the challenge for those who dedicate themselves to the philosophical research, which is torn by the alternative between a people-oriented philosophy, and a philosophy that, looking beyond the human limits, aims to win back its ancient role of aspiration to the absolute. The latter implies the overcoming of the human understandings, and it could even share the aspirations of the science.

IL FINE DELLA DISCIPLINA FOCALIZZA LE QUESTIONI CRUCIALI EMERGENTI DALL’AMBITO DELLA FILOSOFIA MORALE, NONCHÉ DELL’ETICA PUBBLICA E DELLE ETICHE APPLICATE.

The aim of the course is to analyze the dynamics of the technological transformations and the social changes connected to the transition from mass media communication to the contemporary new media practices . Through the analysis of producers/consumers practices, as well as the related technological, cultural and educational assumptions, the objective of the course is to provide theoretical and practical tools useful for understanding the dynamics of social behaviour mediated by digital technologies: participation, sharing, crossmedia communication, prosumerism, remix, mash up, content management, user generated content.

Reading philosophical and literary texts, the workshop proposes an introduction to the basic philosophical and textual practices: analysis, synthesis, problematization, conceptualization, argumentation, imagination, storytelling, meditation, dialogue. The meeting with classical texts and meaningful interpretations will give the opportunity for a training in attention, active listening and writing.

IL CORSO SI PROPONE DI FORNIRE AGLI STUDENTI CONOSCENZE DI BASE SUL LESSICO, LA STORIA E I PROBLEMI DELL’ESTETICA, E DI INTRODURLI AI PRINCIPALI TEMI DEL DIBATTITO ATTUALE NEL CAMPO DELLE TEORIE DELL’ARTE.

Analyze a few aspects of the changes to the idea of a philosophy of history, to the emegence of a genealogical type concept, marked by a multiplicity of interpretative proposals on the rality of man, rational progress, and the purpose of human actions.

Introduction to the themes and problems of the philosophy of science, framed historically and critically. In order to give more concreteness to such problems, we will examine the classic Cartesian problem of the body-mind relationship by posing the following philosophical question: is it in principle possible to give a scientific account of human consciousness? (Edelman e Tononi)

The course aims to examine the problem of determinism in moral action: the investigation starts examining Leibniz’s meditation on divine perfection and on the origin of the evil, and develops considering the relation between the categorical imperatives and Kant’s reflections at the time of the “critics”.
