Any adjustments to the program for attending and non-attending students, Erasmus students, working students and students with disabilities and/or SLD, will be agreed with the Teacher during office hours or by appointment to be made by e-mail (write to claudio.sartea@unipg.it). - Educational objectives
- The lessons will aim at training the learners of a reflective and critical focus on law, which places legal institutions in their historical context and deepens them in their theoretical substratum. The acquisition of essential information about the historical development of theoretical reflection on law will be accompanied by the in-depth study of a specific philosophical method, which from anthropology proceeds to the theoretical foundation of legal institutions (law and right first and foremost). Of general validity, this method will then find specific application on two crucial sides due to their importance and relevance: the trial, first of all, and the biolaw as a response to the challenges of biotechnology.
- Prerequisites
- General knowledge about Western history and thought. In general, in order to be able to understand and be able to deal with the course, the student must possess the general notions related to the environmental context and the organization of the territory, both from a physical point of view and from that of human presence, notions that the student should have already acquired in the school course. This prerequisite is valid for both attending students and for non-attending students.
- Teaching methods
- Frontal teaching (possible use of slides and videos).
- Other information
- Further in-depth texts and documents will be indicated in class and, where possible, made available on Unistudium, with the possibility for those attending to substitute or supplementary readings.
- Learning verification modality
- Oral exam, possible exemption in itinere for attending students (closed-ended and open-ended test, with penalty for incorrect answers and a duration of 60 minutes)..
In the event that the student intends to bring forward the exam to a year prior to the year programmed in the study plan, if this is allowed in relation to any prerequisites, it is recommended to attend the cycle of lectures and to take the exam in the first available session after the lessons have been completed. completed, thus respecting the semester of the course. - Extended program
- The course will present the main topics and problems of the subject in a perspective which, as the choice of texts illustrates, does not want to be merely descriptive or historiographic but strictly philosophical, and therefore reflective and critical. This will not prevent thoughtful forays into the thinking of some authors, although the approach is predominantly thematic. The monographic part will explore in the perspective of the illustrated philosophy of law some central biolegal questions
