Presentation

The purpose of the interuniversity Master's Degree Programme in Philosophy is to provide an in-depth knowledge of the philosophical tradition in its specific methodologies developed in the various historical and philosophical, theoretical, analytical, ethical-political, and aesthetical approaches. In order to ensure access to lectures and other teaching activities offered by each university, remote courses are also provided.

Course content

The programme is aimed at providing students with the language and philological skills required to understand the original texts, the essential conceptual tools of philosophical argumentation, the main concepts required to read the classics of philosophy. The specialist teachings in philosophy will pay particular attention to the development of analytical and logical-argumentative skills related to the different forms of knowledge and language, the historical-critical analysis skills of the fundamental concepts of theoretical, ethical, legal-political, and aesthetical thought. The final test consists of the discussion of a written paper discussed in Italian or English, on a topic agreed with a professor of the degree programme. The programme contents and professors' personal webpages are available on: www.filosofia.unipr.it.
