Course contents

 

 

Monographic section

Title:

The Absolute, history and difference.

 

First part:  Heidegger as a reader of Hegel  (5 CFU).

Heidegger's relationship with Hegel is a close one; however, he replaces the Hegelian dialectic that carries out a unifying process through the journey of history with the attempt to take a “step back” towards the originary unveiling of being, towards a phenomenological ontology that opens up to a radical, irreducible “ontological difference”.

 

 

 

Second part: Rosmini and Hegel (5 CFU)

This part of the course focuses on the Hegelian themes of “dialectic”, “becoming”, “idea”, “being and nothingness”, in constant philosophical conversation with the interpretation of Antonio Rosmini.
