Educational objectives	To acquire adequate knowledge of the main theoretical points characterising contemporary philosophy. Deepening critical thinking on the genesis of key contemporary concepts and developing the ability to identify, contextualise and explain them. To improve clarity in exposition and the correct use of contemporary philosophical lexicon. In an interdisciplinary perspective, developing the ability to relate, in a contemporary context, philosophy and other forms of knowledge: philosophy and science, philosophy and religion, philosophy and art, philosophy and history, philosophy and public discussion.
Prerequisites	Basic philosophical notions
Teaching methods	Lectures, seminars
Other information	Attendance is not mandatory but highly recommended.
Learning verification modality	Normally, a single final assessment is scheduled, consisting of a written examination (computer-based). However, midterm assessments covering parts of the syllabus may be arranged if deemed useful during or at the end of the course. The standard assessment format is a final written exam administered on a computer. Oral examinations or partial assessments may be offered only if explicitly established by the instructor, and must be communicated in advance via the SOL (Segreteria On Line) platform. The written exam lasts a maximum of 40 minutes and includes both multiple-choice and open-ended questions, which together contribute to the final grade, expressed on a scale of thirty. The examination platform will be specified by the instructor on the Unistudium portal. The written exam consists of: 24 multiple-choice questions (24 points, 1 point for each correct answer); 2 open-ended questions (8 points, 4 points for each answer – scores exceeding 30/30 qualify for cum laude distinction). The aim of the written exam is to assess the knowledge acquired and the ability to contextualize authors and philosophical issues within the relevant historical-philosophical framework.
