The Reading Laboratory is part of the program in Philosophical sciences (MA level) and is included among the “Other Training Activities (Letter F)”. Upon completion of the Reading Laboratory students will have read through some of Hegel's writings on the sentient soul. In particular, students must have developed and deepened: - advanced language and argumentation skills required for reading and understanding the original editions of Hegel’s Vorlesungen über die Philosophie des Geistes: Berlin 1827-1828; - ability to analyse a philosophical problem from different points of view; - ability to draw conclusions from a variety of observations and inferences. These skills are promoted during the seminar work that is an integral part of the Laboratory through writing texts and collegial debate.
