Learning outcomes
The Theoretical Philosophy course sets out to understand the political, social, scientific, technical, artistic, theological, ideological effects of the different configurations of the relationship between knowledge and being. In the A module of the course, the outlines of ancient, medieval, modern and contemporary thought are exposed from time to time in this perspective.
Course contents
"The difference between the partisan and the terrorist. The crisis of public law between normalization and taking possession". The course will address some problems of the Constitution theory, starting from the long crisis of the Italian Republic. The difference between legality and legitimacy, the concept of decision, the notion of representation and the distinction between powers will be analyzed. The Jacobin tradition in the theory of revolution will be discussed, and its paradoxical convergence with the procedural theory of law. The principles of the Santi Romano's institutional theory of the law will be discussed.
