DEL PRETE Antonella
(syllabus)
The course aims to provide knowledge of political philosophy, with particular reference to democratic theories. We will start from some elements of discussion provided by current affairs (health/freedom: are there more fundamental rights than others? Freedom/equality: how do they come about in a multiethnic society?), And then go back to the founding structure of democratic systems. Particular emphasis will be given to the analysis of the institutional, social, and cultural structure of the United States elaborated by Tocqueville.
