OBJECTIVES
To understand the scope of the fundamental anthropological question in the light of philosophical and theological anthropology. To understand the origin and structure of the question regarding nature and human existence in Western society through the ages: Classical, Medieval, Modern and Contemporary.
The course takes a journey through the great moments in the origin and evolution of Western society (the Greeks, the Empire, the great medieval synthesis, the anthropocentric evolution of culture and the beginning of modern mentality and the end of Modernity) taking the question of nature and proposal of human existence as a theme. It deals with the question about the meaning of life and goes through the main responses that the West has proposed over time; not only from a historical perspective, but also from a biographical-personal perspective.
