-to improve the critical and argumentative skills of the students and to train them in the comparative analysis of the topics and authors taken into consideration.
At the end of the course students are expected to acquire the following skills:
- in-depth knowledge of the basic philosophical lexicon, also in relation to its historical evolution;
- understanding of the basic problems of metaphysics, logic and theory of knowledge, with attention to the different lines of the contemporary debate;
- ability to interpret and discuss the theses proposed by the philosophical texts of reference;
- training in critical skills through comparison with other forms of knowledge of Western culture.
