The course of Ontology is part of the program in Philosophical Sciences (MA level) and is included among the complementary training activities. The course aims to provide students with the basic principles of Edmund Husserl's phenomenology, starting from the text in which he diagnosed the 'crisis' of European culture and the need for it to be refounded on the basis of the principles of phenomenology. Upon completion of the course students will be able to apply the acquired knowledge to discuss and to develop arguments both in a theoretical and philosophical perspective. Upon completion of the course students are expected to acquire the following skills: 1) advanced critical thinking and its relation to wider issues; 2) advanced language and argumentation skills required to the issues discussed in the course; 3) capacity to read and analyse philosophical sources and the relevant critical debate.
