Some instruction in the history of philosophy, especially an acquaintance with phenomenology, and some acquaintance with philosophical anthropology.
The theme of the course changes every year. But every year, anthropological questions will be pursued through the works of major authors of contemporary and modern philosophy, and the course will be concerned with examining how they are interpreted today.
Upon successful completion of the course the student should be able to :

- relate the data associated with the problem to contemporary scientific developments

Starting from E. Stein's thesis about the phenomenology of empathy (1916), we'll systematically consider the phenomenon of empathy as a radically cognitive and affective one, realizing the fundamental "intercorporeity" conditioning every "intercomprehension".
We'll give a look at recent neurophenomenological developments around empathy.
