Teaching method

The seminary format allows for a teaching methodology that maximizes the potentialities of collective research by encouraging the collective discussion of basic texts, as well as the collective discussion of the teacher’s ideas.
Students will be invited to deliver presentations on contemporary authors and contemporary issues of Aesthetics. This aims at fostering a fruitful dialogue between the philosophical tradition and contemporary Art.
