29424 - Seminars (1) (LM) (G.C)

Learning outcomes

The Seminars in Philosophy aim at the same teaching objectives which are typical of the seminar lessons: (1) to train students to engage in philosophical argumentation by exposing them to subjects and texts, not only in Italian, possibly with the participation of scholars from other universities; (2) to broaden and deepen the participants' knowledge of philosophy by offering them the opportunity to attend talks given by specialists in various areas of philosophy; and (3) to complete their curriculum with a comparison between different philosophical styles and methodologies.

Course contents

The seminar offers a reflection “On Justice. Old and new challenges to law”. On the one hand, the various interpretations of the relationship between law and justice have always grounded different legal and philosophical schools of thought. On the other hand, the challenges that the current time is called to face are leading philosophy to question new articulations of such an old concern.

From the social dimension to the supranational sphere, from the environmental problems to the issues related to algorithmic computation and artificial intelligences, from justice’s relation with friendship, trust, equity, power, vulnerability, care, until the relationship between sexes and the specific concerns generated by constitutionalism and neoliberalism, the reflection will always be introduced and coordinated by the teacher, but it will be developed also by the contributions of excellent national and international scholars.

Teaching methods

The seminar will be developed through 15 seminar lessons. Each lesson will include a debate and interaction, during which students will be encouraged to participate actively.

Assessment methods

Students who attend the seminar will write a brief paper on a selected issue chosen among those discussed during the lessons. Details about the paper will be explained during the first lesson and will be available in a reminder among the course materials.

The positive evaluation will imply a qualification (“idoneità”). The qualification will be released on the basis of the following criteria: 1. knowledge and ability to understand specific issues, with particular regard to some aspects of the relation between law and justice; 2. ability to apply knowledge, through the examination of specific topics selected by the student; 3. autonomy of judgment, or the ability to re-elaborate information independently and personally; 4. communication skills, starting from the ability to communicate ideas and problems with a proper language and a good articulation of thought; 5. learning skills, i.e. correct acquisition of tools and critical judgment skills on complex concerns.

Teaching tools

Any support tools will be communicated during the seminar and can be found among the materials of the course.
