The course aims to offer students an introduction to Aesthetics and Philosophy of Art conceived and theorized in Germany between the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century and to the debates that arose from it in the 20th and 21st centuries. The general educational objectives include: 1) learning methodological and theoretical models in the field of modern Aesthetics studies and possible contemporary re-readings; 2) in-depth knowledge of the sources and the ability to use them for the reconstruction, analysis and study of the History of Aesthetics (Western and Eastern) as well as the History of Art; 3) reading and critical analysis of philosophical texts, understanding technical language, recurring themes, key concepts and shared constellations of thought.

Attendance
Attendance is highly recommendedType of evaluation
The written test consists of 10 questions of different types, both "closed" (e.g. multiple choice questions, gapped text, etc.) and "open" (e.g. questions that require clarification of the genesis of a concept, the fundamental figures for the configuration of a new paradigm, the fundamental stages of the evolution of an aesthetic category, etc.). The following will be assessed: - the ability to summarize complex content in a few lines (in the case of open-ended answers) - the level of knowledge of the conceptual content of the texts examined (through open-ended questions and gapped text questions) - mastery in managing more specific information, for example indicating the evaluations of individual philosophical works or the production of specific artists, etc. (in the case of multiple choice answers)
