Bachelor of Philosophy

Basic learning is understood as both critical skills in approaching the fundamental aspects of contemporary philosophical debate and the analysis of the roots of such debate in the history of philosophical thought.

Based on the specific core learning outcomes of Class L5, the Degree Programme is structured to achieve the following learning outcomes:

• solid knowledge of the history of philosophical and scientific thought from classic antiquity to modern debate, in both the characteristic features of philosophy in the broader history of western ideas and culture, and in the relations and influences of other thought traditions (particularly Arabic, Hebrew, Oriental and Indian);
• updated historiographical information on more general topics and the fundamental moments of different fields of philosophical research;
• methods of reading and interpreting philosophical and historical texts on ideas and culture, to recognise conceptual interrelations and historical and historiographic ties with other humanities, knowledge and competences in the applications of philosophy (particularly applied ethics, artificial intelligence and digital humanities, historical and scientific dissemination);
• strong grasp of philosophical terminology in theoretical, logical-epistemological, aesthetic, ethical-political, historical-scientific and linguistic fields;
• appropriate skills in the use of communication systems and instruments and information management.

The course is held in Italian.
