Fil 116 Theoretical Philosophy
Theoretical Philosophy
Class hours: 42
Credits (ECTS): 6
LM-OT – Specialization in Philosophy
Year: 2nd
Terms: 1st-2nd
Course held in Italian
The course aims to analyze two modes of knowledge – faith and knowledge -. The most significant theoretical assumptions will be considered, with particular emphasis on the contact points. It will be a matter of investigating, in the light of the not obvious but propitious meeting between philosophy and Christian revelation, the value attributed to intuition, to the concept, to the logical and logical forms of knowledge, also considering the potential and the limits of the subjective faculties. The proposed itinerary will be marked by the analysis of some keywords of classical metaphysics – being, principle, unity, freedom, ontology – in dialogue with modern science. Non-attending students will have to discuss, during the examination, an additional text of your choice indicated in the bibliography.
