Special aspects of education
(see
DDC
classification)
|
| Think of experience of interior life in adulthood |
Daniele Loro
|
The individual grows and becomes an adult from many points of view: biological, legal, social, psychological and working. However, it does not become complete if it does not get to directly experience living not only in relation to others, but also in relation to the deepest part of oneself. The ability to reconcile the two worlds and to make them dialogue in a profitable way, represents the existential task that is specific to adulthood.This research activity is part of the following research line, activated in the Department: "Roots and cultures of contemporaneity: pedagogical theories". |

|
| Epistemology of qualitative Inquiry |
Luigina Mortari
Roberta Silva
|
In order to fund an empirical rigorous research in the field of the human sciences, it has been elaborated a qualitative epistemology that has as epistemic core: Bateson’s ecology, naturalistic inquiry, phenomenology and pragmatism. A specific attention is devoted to the elaboration of an “empirical phenomenology” (Ep). It has been developed a specific version for the healthcare environment. |
| Think of education from the philosophical point of view |
Daniele Loro
|
Even in the educational field, to act with intentionality and effectiveness is not enough to have knowledge and skills, and commitment and good will are not enough; it is necessary to understand well the existential meaning of educational action and the cognitive specificity of pedagogical knowledge. In this way the cultural, social and even political value of education and pedagogy is affirmed.
This research activity is part of the following research line, activated in the Department: "Roots and cultures of contemporaneity: pedagogical theories". |

(see

|
| Historical-epistemological Approach |
Massimiliano Badino
|
This approach aims at situating historically and culturally classical problems of epistemology with the goal of providing us with a more thorough philosophical analysis of the process of production and dissemination of scientific knowledge |
| Political Epistemology |
Massimiliano Badino
|
Traditionally, epistemology is kept sharply apart from social and political issues. By contrast, political epistemology tackles epistemological problems on the assumption that knowledge production is a situated process occurring within a ethical, social, political, and cultural context. Furthermore, political epistemology reconfigures the key epistemological questions from the standpoint of their impact on society at large. |
| Practice-based Philosophy of Science |
Massimiliano Badino
|
To understand how science works, one needs to work with those who actively make science. Cooperation between humanities and natural sciences is essential for both practitioners and calls for honing of a specific openmindedness, a quick conceptual flexibility and the willingness to transcend one's own mental frameworks.

The theme is rejected in terms of the biographical approach to the knowledge of social reality. This approach looks at the knowledge of life stories, life paths and experiences of people as a means of analysis of society and its changes and interpretation of social reality, individual but also collective, in the sense that the biographical approach allows access to connections between individual life experiences and social reality, between the strictly individual dimension and the social context. |
