- Learning verification modality
- The exam includes an oral test which consists of a discussion lasting about 30 minutes aimed at ascertaining the level of knowledge and understanding reached by the student on the theoretical and methodological contents indicated in the program. The oral test will also allow to verify the student's communication skills with language properties and autonomous organization of the exhibition on the same theoretical topics.
- Extended program
- The course intends to introduce a problematization of the ordinary vision of philosophical modernity. The introduction of the question of atheism and of the relationship between religion, ethics and politics makes it possible to pluralize the modern in different and, in some cases, opposite directions. In this perspective, the distinction between a first and a second modernity, characterized by a different relationship with religion and the processes of secularization, is fundamental.
