Educazione nei contesti sociali e valoriali - L’AGIRE ETICO “TRA” IDENTITÀ INDIVIDUALE, DIMENSIONE SOCIALE E ORIZZONTE VALORIALE (2018/2019)

Learning outcomes

The course aims at equipping students with a set of conceptual instruments and styles of thought concerning some great ethical and anthropological issues characterizing our contemporary world. By the end of the course, students are expected to possess sufficient autonomy in retracing the main issues of the course and master its philosophical language and main conceptual issues.

The course will address the great debate on care, particularly on the possibility and impossibility of the care, which caracterizes modern and contemporary philosophy. Three main positions and authors will be examined: Kant, Freud, Foucault. The focus of the course will be on the paradoxes of the affective and relational aspects of what we usually call the intersubjective relation.

Students attending the classes will receive frontal lessons which will address the textes in the form of a comment, an elaboration, an extension of their content. The individual study of the bibliography will be a fundamental part of the preparation of the final exam. Meeting hours for students are scheduled during the whole academic year.
