The course of Theoretical Philosophy is among the characterizing activities of the MA Programme in Philosophical Sciences. It aims to provide an in-depth understanding of some classical problems of the philosophical tradition (topics in ontology, epistemology, philosophy of mind and agency). Particular emphasis will be granted to the interplay between philosophy and science in the conviction that they should interact in the attempt to offer an integrated conception of the world and ourselves. Upon completion of the course students will have acquired analytical knowledge and argumentation skills in relation to the topics covered in the course; capacity to read and analyse the sources and the relevant critical debate; capacity to write an end-of-course paper.
