The course of Philosophy of History is part of the program in DAMS and it is included among the optional training activities. In addition to presenting the historical-theoretical lines of the theme of the course, there will be a critical analysis of the texts indicated in the program and an exposition of their effects on the context of today's philosophy.
The aim of the course is:
- to provide the basic tools for understanding the vocabulary and some of the main problems involved in the development of the concepts addressed in the course;
-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.

Type of delivery of the course
The first module (A) of the course will be dedicated to the analysis of the lexicon and conceptual paradigms related to the subject of the course that emerge in Plato's "Theaetetus", Descartes' "Meditations on First Philosophy" and in one of Peirce's classic pragmatic essays. The second module (B) of the course will be dedicated to the reconstruction of the link between the concepts of doubt, error, and truth in Hume, James and Nietzsche.Attendance
Students who can not attend the course are expected to select and study one additional text per module (A and B) to be chosen from those indicated in the "Recommended Texts" section of this program. Students who cannot attend are also required to produce a written paper on the texts that have been agreed upon with the teacher during reception hours. The examination should be sent by email to the teacher at least ten days before the chosen exam date. The study of one additional text among those indicated in the "Recommended Texts" section by attending students will be taken into account in the final evaluation. Any written examination, valid for the verbal exam, will be organized during the course and communicated through the site FILCOSPE, on the personal page of Prof. Rosa M. Calcaterra (http://filcospe.it/index.php/persone/docenti).Type of evaluation
