Objectives
Knowledge and understanding:
the course offers the student a reflection on the philosophical-legal issues that
they include ‘human work’ and ‘non-human technical work’, new technologies. The core
formative pertains to the considerations of human operation as constitutively in charge
to the executive action of algorithmic procedures; the incidence of the latter, then, on the activity
creative of the individual in instituting standardization without remaining subject to the forms that
they exclude the free training referees of the future.
Applied knowledge and understanding:
the technique that invades law is analyzed from considerations of historical passages,
from the age of industrialization to that of the internet, crossing temporal and terminal boundaries
of the concept of ‘metropolis’ until globalization and the advent of the ‘formulas’ of the web. Lo
studio urges the student to differentiate the means of production that have alternated up to
to date, arriving at the practical considerations on the new power that ‘data’ represent. From
themselves, in fact, ‘databases’ of normativity and jurisprudence up to
mercantilization of them and their floating monopolies, apparently ‘placed’ without a
author-creator, ‘without homo juridicus’.
Judgment autonomy:
The course allows the student to develop a reflective ability that highlights the
faculty of judgment and evaluation of which only the human being is constitutively the holder, a
itinerary on interiority and will, unique dimensions capable of safeguarding the
planning for the future, to hypothesize the edifying and innovative projects of law as a statute
of human dignity.
Communication skills:
The course also includes question and answer sessions that encourage the student to
direction to expect, even provocatively and in an increasing sense, the answers from his
same colleagues, under the guidance of the teacher between asking and answering each other,
it often follows that the least involved reveal themselves precisely in this one
circumstance and more distrustfully before this.
Learning ability:
the student is invited throughout the lessons to propose authors of reference to the topics covered or
readings comparing certain specific topics, ranging between legal literature and
that of the classics of thought, holding firm the relationship between ‘work’ as work and doing
as an execution of the desired, conceived, debated, aimed, realized work.
