An introductory part provides some explanations about the specific features of philosophical discourse: reassessing commonly accepted opinions, rational explanation and critical argumentation, reflection, and aiming for a global discourse on reality as a whole.The peculiarities of philosophical discourse evolve in each epoch specifically with respect to the cultural context. A second part deals with philosophical anthropology, considered from a thematic point of view: being-into-the-world, corporeity, mind, intersubjectivity, language, socio-political aspects and other sides of human existence is presented.A third part introduces students to the philosophy of law by indicating the existence of a specific judicial dimension of human existence and showing the links with other dimensions looked at in the second part.
Lectures by professors are supplemented by reading and explanatory sessions supervised by assistants.
The oral teaching may be completed by other pedagogical methods.
Class notes are provided at the beginning of the course.
