This is a survey course of a period of the history of philosophy, which follows two previous courses (ancient, medieval+renaissance), which brought the topic up to the first quarter of the 17th century. The main figures and topics of modern philosophy (up to the last quarter of the 19th century) will be discussed.
After having passed the course, students will be able to continue studying modern philosophy and, eventually, to teach it on a high-school level. |
