Knowledge and
understanding. The course allows to acquire a structured knowledge, verified during
the course through oral examinations, about the currents and the major
philosophical debate of the contemporary philosophical culture in the Asian and
African continents, with a focus on buddhis thought and on African philosophy.
The acquisition of these cognitive elements involves the enhancement and
development of a specific comparison mode of critic understanding.
Applying
knowledge and understanding. the comparative learning in a intercultural context
of understanding and analysis of texts and philosophical debates is designed to
train a concrete ability to philosophical mediation, through the critical
control of contents and the appropriation of a specific methodological habitus.
Making judgement. The comparative learning and its methodological
habitus formed in the student a critical capacity of judgement in two
directions: the historical-critical awareness of their own interpretive
categories and the understanding of other epistemological paradigms
Communication
skills. The
student, trough lectures, seminars and tutorials, learn to apply at the philosophical
field a the specific cross-cultural lexicon.
Learning skills. The acquisition of a comparative methodological
habitus 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.
