Learning outcomes
The whole range of didactic goals as indicated for the three-year degree course is presumed to be acquired.
In the two-year specialistic course, the student will moreover have to display a very deep knowledge of a specific philosophical subject related to medieval thought. Such a knowledge must be obtained through an independent and reflective approach to learning and research (though supervised) in bibliographical and historical-critical terms, and must result in a written and oral paper on a particular theme connected to the subject selected year by year. The student must then demonstrate his/her capacity to critically assess the relevance and the arguments expressed by other students and teachers during class and seminars which constitute the course.

The subject of the course is the philosophical and historiographical features of the relationship between Middle Ages and Renaissance. After some introductory lectures, texts will be discussed and the students will be required to write reports.
