PHILOSOPHICAL ANTHROPOLOGY
Academic Year 2025/2026 - Teacher:
SANTO BURGIO
Expected Learning Outcomes
Knowledge and understanding: the course allows to
acquire an adequate knowledge of the basic conceptual tools for an
interdisciplinary approach between philosophy, anthropology and history in an
intercultural perspective. The acquisition of these cognitive elements involves
the enhancement and development of a specific comparison mode of critic
understanding.
Applying knowledge and understanding: the
interdisciplinary learning in a intercultural context of understanding and
analysis of texts and philosophical-anthropological debates - placed
within an adequate framework of historical understanding - is designed to train
a concrete ability to linguistic and cultural mediation, indispensable also in
terms of the skills necessary for teaching, through the critical control of
contents and the appropriation of a specific methodological habitus.
Making judgement: the interdisciplinary learning and
its methodological habitus formed in the student a critical capacity of
judgement in two main directions, both essential for an effective intercultural
mediation, also within the framework of the skills necessary for teaching: the
historical-critical awareness of their belonging’s categories and an ability to
self-identification of the negotiation’s points by means of which to achieve a
satisfactory resolution of the processes of mediation.
Communication skills: the student, trough lectures,
seminars and tutorials, learns to use an adequate scientific lexicon of the
interdisciplinary anthropological-philosophical and historical debate.
Learning
skills: The acquisition of a interdisciplinary methodological habitus as
foundation of intercultural mediation, also referred to the specific needs of
teaching, establishes and strengthens an autonomous capacity learning,
performed by the cognitive sequence: textual and linguistic analysis –
historical-critical contextualization – comparative evaluation – negotiation’s
points discernment - adequate communicative, didactic or
practical solution.Detailed Course Content
