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.
Good familiarity with the thought of Descartes, Kant, Husserl, and Heidegger
The course will focus on Martin Heidegger’s criticism during the period of Being and Time against Descartes’ philosophical ideal and against the project outlined by Husserl in the essay “Philosophy as a Rigorous Science.” In this broad topic, special emphasis will be given to the theme of the world and how Heidegger sought to go beyond the world-concepts developed by Descartes and Husserl respectively, criticizing the centrality that these thinkers attach to the problematic of the foundation of knowledge.
