Learning outcomes
After completing the course, students have an advanced understanding of the relevance of a multidisciplinary approach to the analysis of modern and contemporary philosophy; they are able to analyze religious phenomena seen through the lens of multiple tools from several disciplines. They apply research methods to address issues relating to philosophy between the Modern and Contemporary Age. They are able to give form to the results of their own research onModern Philosophy, documenting in an accurate and complete way the information on which they base their conclusions and giving an account of the methodologies and research tools used.
