Learning Objectives
DIALECTICS OF HUMAN AND SOCIAL RELATIONSHIP ONTOLOGY. SUBJECTIVITY, PHILOSOPHY AND POLICY BETWEEN MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY. The course of History of Philosophy, for Psychology students, in this academic year aims to address (in its first part) the theme relating to the relationship between Being and Politics, in the contemporary contingency of existence. During the lessons I will carry out thought exercises through trajectories and philosophical decompositions, crossings of languages ??between specialized knowledge prone to human sciences and political philosophy and ontology, sociology and anthropology, hermeneutic protocols and cultural materials that seek, in a horizon of " ontology of current events ”, to reveal the different models, paradigms and normative facts in the philosophical, ontological, political and ethical-juridical discourse of modernity and in the frontiers that include and exclude subjects and societies, the self, the you and the we with respect to the conditions of freedom, justice and social reproducibility in the contemporary quadrant, along the impervious paths of the compossible recta life always dialectically connected to the metamorphic conflict of subjectivities intrigued in the experience of time and space, between anthropological and ontological statutes -politics that connote the agonic and competitive relationship between the human and things, forms of life between natural and artificial, between history and world, between order and disorder, in the extraordinary ulteriority of occasions, of the event of being taking shape in the humanity of man in his irreducible plural singularity, of a politically instituted social being whose difference is embodied in the conflict that generates it and pervades it in its immanence. In its second part, the course, starting from a critical review of the phenomenologies of the crisis, of the contemporary scenarios and of the political ontology of the conflict, will deal with three levels of argument that make each other complementary. In the first, through some of Georg Simmel's original philosophical essays he will insist on why we understand the dynamic flow, in time and space, of life and history: of the fallible, reciprocal self, which is never totally possessed with itself same as identity, reliable and secure. As for Hegel, also for Simmel the ego is constituted by the relationship with the other. The plots of this tangle mean that life, society, philosophy, politics, science and art, that is culture, can make us re-known as individual subjects of desire, power and knowledge, in our limit, in a non-depoliticizing ontology of the human and social, in which the reciprocity principle rises to the constitutive dimension of the restless bond of the human, of the becoming of being, to which, in the ineffable and chiasmatic contingency of the living, one can escape from the fact that the human being is an imperfect, missing being who lives in desire, at the same time equal and different from all the others. In the second and third, it is proposed to reconstruct some of the main cultural, philosophical and political transits within the work of Theodor W. Adorno, Hans-Georg Gadamer and Jürgen Habermas on specific questions of the role of the Bildung, of the philosophies of Europe and of the fate of the West, considering these three masters of Western philosophical thought as fundamental and unavoidable points of reference for the critical understanding of the contemporary human and political condition. Furthermore, moving from the morphological crisis of the political sphere in our contemporary world, the main intent is to critically problematize the link between subjectivity, politics and domination through an analytical comparison of the semantics and configurations that subjectivity assumes in the Modern through a hermeneutic framework that it involves the philosophies of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and Jürgen Habermas and the politicity that goes through them, to then join the relevance and consequences of this comparison with the reinterpretation developed by Miguel Abensour of the possible relationship between critical theory and political philosophy.
