32665 - Theoretical Philosophy. Phenomenology and Philosophy of the Individual

Learning outcomes

The main aim of the course is to provide the tools for a phenomenological approach to the theme of the person, examining in detail the philosophical and empathic nature of the personal knowledge. Against this background, aspects regarding the identity of the person and his cognitive approach will be analysed, taking into examination the subjectivity field as centre of actions, emotions and experience. While treating the sphere of the lived experience of consciousness in his cognitive aspects, volitional and sentient, we will try to provide not only abilities of pedagogic and formative nature, but also concepts relative to the philosophical basis of other disciplines connected with the personal identity theme. At the end of the course, the students are expected to acquire expository and argumentative skills.
