| Main themes |
The topics addressed will be the body as object and as lived, the classical opposition between the matter and the mind, the search of happiness and pleasure, the sense of pain and suffering, youth, ageing and death. The notions of strong, weak and superhuman (heroes, champion) will be highlighted.
The political dimension in the treatment of the body will be studied. These concepts will be addressed with reference to authors who have vastly contributed to their elaboration (for example Socrates, Descartes, Nietzsche, Merleau-Ponty, Foucault').
The philosophical concepts of efficient cause, final cause, matter, form, deduction, induction, time and space will be analyzed to illustrate their presence in thought and scientific research as well as their utility and enlightenment in natural and human sciences through the philosophical elaboration that they have undergone.
