At the end of the course, the student will have:
No prerequisite is required in addition to those necessary to overcome the TVI.
Teaching will take place through lectures and reading and commenting texts with the students.
The assessment will take place through an interview with an oral exam. The final mark will be out of thirty points.
The course aims to move beyond the image of Kantian practical philosophy according to which it would unfold entirely within the boundaries of an abstract concept of duty. To this end, the course will proceed in two directions. The first will examine the relationship between morality and happiness, exploring the connections between practical philosophy and religion; the second will address the relationship between morality and law, seeking to clarify the relation between duty, law, and natural right. The two Kantian texts at the center of the course will be the Critique of Practical Reason and the Metaphysics of Morals, supplemented by a number of additional texts.
The program for non-attending students is identical to the one for attending students, as well as the assessment methods.
Further materials (texts and bibliographical indications) will be provided during the course and made available in digital format on the course website.
Erasmus students and students with PDP or PEI are invited to contact the teacher at the beginning of the courses.
