| THE COURSE AIMS TO STUDY THE CONCEPT OF 'HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY' IN ITS HISTORICAL AND THEMATIC EVOLUTION. THE PURPOSE OF THE COURSE IS, ON ONE HAND, TO TRACE THE BIRTH AND EVOLUTION OF THE CONCEPT OF 'HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY', FROM ITS ANCIENT BEGINNINGS TO THE MOST RECENT CONTEMPORARY REFLECTIONS; ON THE OTHER HAND, TO QUESTION THE MEANING OF 'DOING HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY' AS AN OPERATION THAT INEVITABLY INVOLVES A PARTIAL RECOVERY OF A CORPUS OF TEXTS AND KNOWLEDGE WITH AN ELUSIVE DEFINITION. THE COURSE, STARTING FROM PLATONIC REFLECTION AND EARLY ARISTOTELIAN EXPERIMENTS, WILL FOCUS ON THE BIRTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE MEDIEVAL CONCEPT OF 'AUCTORITAS', AND THEN REFLECT, THROUGH MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY EXAMPLES, ON THE CURRENT CONDITIONS AND PERSPECTIVES AVAILABLE TO HISTORIANS OF THOUGHT. |
