Learning outcomes

The Philosophy Seminars have the specific educational objectives of seminar teaching: (1) to train students in philosophical argumentation by soliciting discussions on themes and texts, even in the original language, presented in meetings with Italian and foreign scholars; (2) broaden and deepen philosophical knowledge through participation in conferences held by specialists from various fields of philosophical knowledge; (3) compare the different methodological approaches to philosophy as a complement to curricular teaching.

Course contents

The Preface to Hegel’s Phenomenology of Mind

The seminar will take place in the second period (first semester). It will live from the collegial reading of the text of the Preface added by Hegel to his Phenomenology of the spirit (1807). The classic Italian tradition edited by Enrico De Negri will be adopted, flanked by the original text in German in the edition of the Gesammelte Werke edited by Wolfgang Bonsiepen and Reinhard Heede.

The main purposes of the seminar work consist, on the one hand, of promoting the aptitude of the individual participants in the analysis of a complex text and, on the other, of ensuring that the entire group of members actively engages in interpretation and critical confrontation.
