Lesson timetable

Learning outcomes

Understanding the philosophical dimension of the pedagogical issue means looking at philosophy as philosophizing, as thoughtful and endless questioning, respecting the living concreteness of human being, in order to build a knowledge pedagogically-developed according to the category of possible and, therefore, aimed at growing an understanding of oneself, the others and the world, making meaning of one’s own way of being.

Syllabus

Philosophy of education identity.
For an education of thinking-feeling.
The reassuring plot of a shared everyday life often realises from asking questions about what seems so obvious that it just calls for a mere exercise.
It is necessary to question oneself in order to make the cognitive, emotional and behavioural moves, in which we acknowledge ourselves, able to understand the need to live personally, instead of being part of an already written script.
