Teaching methods
The course will consist of frontal lessons; authors' works will be commented and the history of moral philosophy synthetically reconstructed. Student-led discussions will be encouraged.
Assessment methods
1) General part of the course: written test. Only students who have passed the written test are allowed to take the second part of the exam.
2) Final viva voce. Course-attending students can discuss alternative readings with the teacher. Students will be evaluated on the basis of their knowledge of assigned texts and their ability to critically discuss authors' works and historical issues. Students are required to bring with them the texts they have used to prepare the exam.
Teaching tools
Required readings (see bibliography), slides, lecture notes.
