The course History of German Philosophy has the following learning objectives:
1. to increase the knowledge of the most important concepts and authors of German Philosophy;
2. to consolidate and apply the linguistic and conceptual methodologies to analyze the most important classics of the German 18th and 20th century. The aim is to provide the essential methodological basis for research work preliminary to the writing of the Master's thesis;
3. to enhance learning skills and autonomy of judgement. In particular, students must develop and expand:
- Linguistic skills that enable them to read and understand the original editions of the contemporary philosophers undergoing the course;
- ability to analyse a philosophical problem from different points of view, also taking into account the most accredited critical bibliography;
- ability to discover contradictions or innovations in classical texts on the basis of the training received during the three-year degree course;
- ability to control and highlight the relevance and meaning of the characteristic elements of conceptual expositions;
- ability to draw conclusions based on a plurality of observations and inferences. These skills are promoted during the seminar work that is an integral part of the course through writing texts and collegial debate.
