FILOSOFIA DEL DIRITTO I
(objectives)
The main learning objective is to provide students, even through a critical approach, with the acquisition of a solid knowledge of the philosophical concepts, categories and, not least, of the most relevant authors of legal philosophy, from Sophocles' Antigone to H.L.A. Hart’s elaboration, to conclude with the main developments of the contemporary debate
D1 - Knowledge and understanding Through the knowledge of the main legal philosophy theories the students will be able to develop a specific sensitiveness to the interpretation and application of law to concrete cases, bearing in mind both fundamental legal notions and the historical development of concepts, categories and contexts.
D2 - Applying knowledge and understanding At the end of the course, students will be able to interpret the theories and apply them to contemporary cases, taking into account both fundamental constitutional principles and the conditions of individuals who are, de jure or de facto, vulnerable
D3 - Making judgements By the end of the course, students will be able to autonomously elaborate the acquired notions, as well as to develop critical judgement skills, through the examination of key concepts of legal-philosophical reflection
D4 - Communication skills By the end of the course, students will have developed terminological accuracy related to the legal and philosophical notions and the ability to communicate in public, in particular, having learned to present the acquired knowledge (referred to in points D1 and D2) with an appropriate language. By learning the notions of theoretical and legal-philosophical language, students will be able to communicate content of specific meaning in the legal field
D5 - Learning skills By the end of the course, students will have acquired the ability to develop arguments suitable for supporting theses on the topics covered within the course and to acquire the proper instruments for an autonomous and adequate updating
