Culture, philosophy, politics and education between Classic and Contemporary.

The Philosophy of culture advanced course, with specialized methodologies aimed at satisfying students' curricular training, aims to outline and thematically and critically analyze the relationship between culture, philosophy, politics and education through the analysis of thought and work of some of the main modern and contemporary philosophers. The training objective is to provide students with the fundamental and critical concepts, methods and orientations essential for their cultural, philosophical and pedagogical training through constant reference to reading and dialogue between Classic and Contemporary. In particular, in its first part, the relationship between Georg Simmel's thought and work and the fundamental problems of the philosophy of culture will be discussed. In the second part, the relationship between life, philosophy and education will be placed at the center of the reflection through a comparative and transversal analysis of the philosophical-pedagogical thought of Kant, Nietzsche and Simmel. In the third part, the relationship between Bildung, Europe and the West will be the subject of thematic and critical discussion, with particular reference to the intertwining of culture, philosophy, politics and education in the thought of Hegel, Simmel, Adorno, Gadamer and Habermas.
