      Content of Learning Activity

      TThe course presents an introduction to the philosophical and ethical process, through a problematic approach to the specificity of philosophy as a reflective activity, a journey through the history and concepts of philosophy, as well as an opening to contemporary ethical issues.
      The course is structured through a thematic and chronological approach. The first part is devoted to the question "Why philosophy?" After an introduction that situates the discipline and its issues through contemporary resources, it addresses ancient philosophy. The second part examines the question "How do we think?" It is approached through modern philosophers, both to expose modernity as a rupture through which the categories of thought we inherit are forged, and to look at the way its various authors approach the issue of knowledge. The third and last part addresses the question "What to do with philosophy today?" It is devoted to an opening towards contemporary ethical and political questions.
