Course contents

The PhD course aims at surpassing the traditional opposition between analytical and continental philosophy, by articulating originally topics of investigation and methodological approaches. This novel perspective, at the forefront of current philosophical studies worldwide, allows the mutual integration of a solid competence in the history of philosophy with the most up-to-date trends of research in theoretical, logical-linguistical, and ethical-political disciplines.
Inspired by these principles, the doctorate is organized according to the following educational tracks, which are independently structured, but also mutually interrelated:
- History of Medieval philosophy, Renaissance philosophy, and Modern philosophy. In the field of Medieval philosophy, particular attention will be given to Arabic philosophy, its roots in ancient Greek thought, and its reception in Latin philosophy. The history of Renaissance philosophy will focus on the works of Machiavelli, Bruno, and Pomponazzi. In the development of Modern philosophy, authors like Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Kant, and Hegel will be taken as pivotal figures.
- In the context of Moral and Political philosophy, special prominence will be given to hermeneutical and deconstructional theories, to the genealogy of Nietzsche, and to the archeology of Foucault, paying particular attention to the paradigms of “political theology” and of “biopolitics” as they are developed in contemporary Italian thought.
- In the field of History of logic, contemporary logic, and theories of language, the following topics will be taken into account: modal logic, polyvalent logics, uncertain reasoning, and theories of truth. Particular emphasis will be granted to the relationship between logic and the so-called analytical metaphysics, and between logical structures and linguistic tools.
- Language, as product of the human development naturally inherent in cognitive processes, will represent a main area of study, also in connection with the interplay between philosophy, politics, and biological life. Special attention will be given to projects targeting typological and diversity linguistics, as well as projects with experimental focus in psycho- and neuro-linguistics.
