This course aims to probe the ethical import of a personological view of self-narrativism that is well-entrenched in a naturalistic context. Against the backdrop of William James’ theory of the duplex self, the claim that we constitute ourselves as morally responsible agents (as ‘Lockean persons’) by forming and using autobiographical narratives is combined with Dan McAdams’ view of narrative identity as a layer of personality. During personality development, internalised and evolving stories of the self layer over other layers of personality, and this process of layering may be integrative. The process of self-representation originated from the I/Me dialectic, then, takes the form of what Jung identified as “individuation”, namely, a striving towards the unity of the various strata of personality. Such a process has an ethical dimension that is reminiscent of the ideal of eudaimonia, the discovery and actualization of one’s own unique potentials and talents.

The course presents and analyses the three fundamental modes of conflict: agon, polemos, stasis. That is, the conflict as "competition" (ethos at the same time moral, economic and sporting, which finds its clearest determination in ancient Greek thought); the conflict as "war" (Hobbes); the conflict as "civil war", within the community and the political body (Loraux, Agamben). The aim of the course is to define the peculiarity of these different modes of conflict.

The course intends to present the main conceptual nodes that innervate the so-called Philosophies of Habit, that is the philosophical reflections on habit from modernity onwards, with particular attention to the development that this theme assumes especially from the nineteenth century, also in correlation with others issues that affect the debate between philosophy and psychology, such as madness and certain developments in neurophysiology, given that the debate on habit has rediscovered its vivacity in contemporary cognitive sciences.The first teaching unit (3 CFU) will be reserved for an overview of the philosophies of habit by Aristotle until the middle of the nineteenth century. The second teaching unit (3 CFU) will focus on the following philosophies of habit, with particular attention to the debate of the late nineteenth century, influenced by the evolutionary paradigm, thanks also to the reading and commentary of passages from the texts of Léon Dumont (1876) and William James (1887) on habit.

Philosophical foundations of the concept of labour

During the course students will address the issue of labour, its definition, through a philosophical and anthropological survey. From an increasingly reduced common sense to the mere economic dimension, labour will be rather understood as an essential trait of human nature and of the historical and ever changing relationship between human beings and nature as a whole. Students will also work on critical theory of society - modern and contemporary - and investigate the shifting and uncertain boundaries between work, ethics, and political practice.

THE ADVENT OF FASCISM IN ITALY
The course aims to examine the advent of fascism in Italy. Attention will be paid to the complexity of the European situation at the end of the First World War in which the Italian affair is to be placed. In this context, the phenomenon of the explosion of violence in Europe at the end of the Great War will be considered. The post-war crisis in Italy will be reviewed referring to the multiplicity of factors that characterized it from the economic and social to institutional, political and international ones. The role of nationalism in the country's political crisis will be particularly explored. The birth and affirmation of fascism as a movement and a political party, the characteristics of its policy and its organizational model, the use of violence, the subversive strategy of the Liberal State will be carefully analyzed. Finally, appropriate attention will be paid to the process of the conquest of power by the fascist national party until the establishment of the regime.

Politics of nature
The environmental issue requires a subversion of political thought in the Western canon.
How can we think of a politics that is no longer a characteristic sphere of human subjects alone?
A reconnaissance of the so-called "environmental" or "ecological" problems is necessary to imagine again and again the sphere of interactions between human and non-human.

Baruch Spinoza's "Theological-Political Treatise" is both one of the most important texts of modernity and one of its greatest scandals.Anonymously published in 1670, it was the object of fierce criticism from the very beginning, but it continued to enjoy an important clandestine circulation, which allowed it to exert a great influence until the Age of Enlightenment. In the course we will proceed to a complete reading of the work and an analysis of its central themes: the critique of the theological imaginary (prophecy, law, vocation, miracles) as ideological support of non-democratic powers, the rethinking of the relationship between natural religion and historical religions, the naturalistic foundation of the legal-political sphere and the relationship between state and ecclesiastical power, the 'libertas philosophandi'.At the same time, an attempt will be made to highlight the heterogeneous theoretical positions held by the work, trying to frame them within the evolution that in Spinoza's thought is realized somewhere between the early works and the final drafting of "Ethics". In other words, it will be a matter of testing how in the very pages of the "Treatise" there is an imperceptible transition from a first position, in which good consists solely in the union of the mind with God guaranteed by intellectual knowledge and imagination and passions are therefore an obstacle to be freed from, to a second position, in which imagination and passions play a decisive role not only in politics but also in ethics.

the politics of technology

Philosophy of technology is a relatively recent discipline that deals with relationships between Technology, knowledge and society.
The course wants to answer to the following questions:
What is technology?
Is it possible to think about science without a reflexion on technology in the present technoscientific environment?
Which are the relationships between society and technology?
Which are the relevant changes introduced by technology in living styles?
Is it possible to consider technology as neutral and value and ideology free?
Technology has a relevant and permanent influence on science and on knowledge building in general but also on the definition of society and its working assets. Technical artefacts produce changes on society and are influenced by social choices, political constraints and economical investments.
In this course we will discuss the importance of philosophy of technology for philosophy itself, if we accept the idea that philosophy is a research for understanding and for acting on present. If we accept this perspective we cannot ignore the importance of technology.
Technology is created according to projects, objectives and standards on which society has no direct control, but technical objects have relevant consequences on the functioning of social practices including the epistemological ones.
Technology is a normative discipine (different from science). Its object is not the study of how things are in the world. it imposes an organization on the world in order for its devices to work correctly. It proposes and orders a regulation for society and it is in need that society imposes a regulation on its implementation: not all that it is feasible technically it is allowed.

Title: Art and Authenticity
The course will investigate the principal understandings of the notion of authenticity in contemporary debates in aesthetics and the philosophy of art.
Throughout the course, the following issues will be addressed:
Why do we care so much about the authenticity of the objects of our aesthetic appreciation?
On what ground can we reject forgery, plagiarism and other forms of artistic counterfeiting?
What is the relationship between an object’s authenticity and its aesthetic value?
Which meanings does the notion of authenticity get in the aesthetic domain?

Students will be introduced to the political crisis which ensued the death of Nero in 68 A.D. and the
following convulsions during the short reigns of Galba, Otho and Vitellius. It will be stressed how on
December 21 69 A.D. Vespasian’s position was officially confirmed by the Senate, but he remained quite
frank about the military origin of his rule. He dated his powers to July 1, when the troops had acclaimed
him, thus flouting constitutional precedent and contradicting even the behaviour of his rival Vitellius, who
had awaited confirmation by the Senate. Later Vespasian received by law a number of powers for which his
Julio-Claudian predecessors had not sought explicit sanction. .
A part of the course will be dedicated to the building developments of the period in Rome (domus
Transitoria and domus Aurea). There will two archaeologists' lessons in particular about the Transitoria
domus, which can now be visited.

Experience and infinite Task. Knowledge, language and messianism in the philosophy of Walter Benjamin.

The course will focus on some essais of the early Benjamin (1916-1925) in order to reconstruct the gnoseological basis of his theoretical and practical philosophy. Between them "On language as such and on the Language of Man" (1916), "On the program of the coming philosophy" (1917-18),
"Epistemo-logical Preface" to "Origin of german baroque Drama". The thesis "On the Concept of History" as well as some fragments on the philosophy of knowledge and on politics will be also examinated.

The course focuses on language pathologies, with particular attention to the deficits related to the discursive communication. Among the cases discusses, there are the communicative deficits characterizing pathologies such as autism, schizophrenia, and traumatic brain injury. In such cases, as well as in many neuropsychological and psychopathological disorders, the communicative impairments mainly concern the level of discourse and depend on deficits that primarily involve the cognitive dimension, rather than the linguistic one. Thus, the study of discourse disorders is particularly useful to investigate a more general question that is extremely relevant from a theoretical point of view: the relationships between language and cognition.

Drawing on the problem of the sacred as tackled in some philosophical works of Martin Heidegger and Emmanuel Levinas, the course aims at outlining the phenomenological approach to the religious experience. Further, the course provides the basic skills needed in order to approach the main phenomenological themes related to the reflection on religious experiences and fosters the development of a critical attitude with respect to issues related to the care of oneself and others.

The course focuses on the relationship between language and narrative from a cognitive and evolutionary point of view. In contrast to the theories considering the sentence as the essence of language, the course suggests an interpretative hypothesis based on the priority of discourse over sentence; specifically, it is suggested that the ability to tell stories is the distinctive trait both of language and human nature.
The course includes experimental activities aimed at supporting the theoretical model proposed.

By presenting the different approaches to probability (classical, frequentist, propensities-oriented, subjectivist and logistist), the course focuses on the philosophy of probability and its application to the natural and social sciences. The idea that motivates the course has been well expressed by the great economist Keynes, namely that probability is the true guide to our lives. The course will show how even a rudimental knowledge of the theory of probability is indispensable to reason in a correct way and therefore predict as reliably as possible the uncertain course of our individual future and that of society
