Contribution of the course to the overall degree programme goals

The teaching falls within the basic common of the degree course in philosophy and aims to provide students with the necessary methodological tools for critical learning of the main historical-philosophical problems of the contemporary age, also in connection with other knowledge and areas of research. In particular, the teaching objectives are aimed at acquiring the understanding, knowledge and critical interpretation of the main philosophical texts of the contemporary world.

Expected learning outcomes
