The course of Philosophical Antropology is part of the program in Philosophical Sciences (MA level) and is included among the complementary training activities. The objective of the course is to provide an in-depth understanding of some aspects of the essential issues and debates connected to the field of Philosophical Anthropology. The student should demonstrate that he possesses knowledge and skills aimed at recognizing the “image” of the human being in the different philosophical perspectives in order to delineate its identity and specificity in various historical, cultural and political-institutional contexts. 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.
