Philosophy

Given for granted some basic and indispensable goals (knowledge and understanding in the field of studies; ability to apply knowledge and understanding; capability of critical analysis; communication skills on that which has been learned; capacity to undertake further studies with some autonomy), the course intends to attain the following specific objectives: a) acquisition of the key notions and of the main theoretical issues of semantics and pragmatics. b) development of the ability of historical and theoretical contextualization of the main topics discussed in the field of semantics and pragmatics; c) improvement of the reflective, argumentative and critical abilities through open discussions of the bibliographical references; d) stimulation of individual research courses in the footsteps of the issues discussed during the lectures or of the bibliographical references.
