In the philosophical studies Theoretical Philosophy is as fundamental as the study of Physiology in Medicine. It aims to bring out the first elements of the essential issues of human thought, without limiting itself to an analytical decomposition or a historiographical survey. His critical and multi-perspectives syntheses - albeit nourished by the necessary philological and historical-cultural mediations - engage themselves directly and immediately with the weight and consequences of things to think about.
Learning to recognize the multiple meanings, stratifications and references of an important philosophical text.
Learning to focus more on the right questions than on the answers.
Learning to articulate discourses aiming at justifying your own claims to truth.
Learning to select reliable document bases.
The course will immediately enter the vital junctions of the Heideggerian discourse, without delay in any introduction. The course, therefore, already presupposes a certain knowledge of Heideggerian thought.
Title: Higher than actuality is possibility (part two)

As announced, the second thirty hours will focus on phenomenological aspects, in particular on the experience of being possible which interrupts the apparent saturation of what is.
Higher than the realism of the facts is the realism of the events.
Higher than human subjectivity lies a fate of unavoidable possibilities.
