How learning is verified
The only oral final test is planned, during which the following will be evaluated:
- the ability to properly understand the reading of a text;
- adequate knowledge of examination texts;
- the ability to develop one's own independent critical reflection.
During the interview, the acquisition and correct understanding of the contents of the texts to be studied in full will be ascertained. On the contents of the examination texts, two specific questions will be asked which will cover the assessment of the ability of interdisciplinary critical analysis and autonomy of judgment.
You will also need to know the topics in your text of your choice (at least one question). The final vote will take into account the accuracy and quality of the responses (70%), as well as the communication skills shown during the interview (10%) and the ability to adequately justify claims, analyses and judgments (20%).
training goals
The course aims to define and analyze philosophical reflection with an integrated, historical, philosophical and narrative approach to contemporary, able to deal with, with adequate critical capacity, philosophical themes. For this reason, the course aims to provide the main methodological tools useful for understanding the specific cultural context of the 20th century, fostering a plurality of hermeneutic approaches that, especially in the contemporary age, have philosophical reflection. A special attention will be given to the critical analysis of the texts with the aim of grasping the essential lines, as well as the development of the different conceptual forms and the explicitness of the different categories and the examination of the language used Author taken into account
Through a direct relationship with the sources (in all its formats) a critical understanding of the texts taken into account is favoured in the learner, favoring a historical and conceptual deepening in comparative and interdisciplinary form as a tool conceptual understanding of the qualifying changes of the contemporary world. This promotes a hermeneutic approach that can adopt forms of analysis and critical skills specific to contemporary philosophical reflection
Learning outcomes include
• Knowledge of the conceptual notion of crisis
• The ability to read a text critically, inserting it within its precise theoretical context
• Ability to explain the different traditions of thought present within a given theoretical proposal
• Ability to grasp the open problems of the texts studied
• The ability to apply the acquired knowledge independently, in order to initiate a self-contained critical reflection on the open problems of the contemporary
The course will cover the theme of The Problem of the Crisis in the Reflection of Antonio Banfi and Edmund Husserl and will analyze specifically the following topics: the notion of crisis developed by Banfi in the first decades of the twentieth century (in connection with the First World War and, then, with the crisis of the 1930s in Italy); the phenomenological philosophy in the approach outlined by its founder Edmund Husserl; the crisis of the European sciences according to the Husserlian reflection; the contribution of phenomenology to a historical-critical study of the notion of "crisis", values and limits of the phenomenological approach; the need to develop critical European rationalism to reflect appropriately on our time and the 21st century; the scenario of the 21st century and its underlying problems from a historical and philosophical perspective.
