Moreover, this interview, verify that the student is able to communicate, with method, linguistic-philosophical appropriateness, and exposure, what he has acquired. The duration of the test varies depending on the performance of the test itself.

Extended program The course will be devoted to the reading and commentary of the scheduled sources on Hegel's Aesthetics. Starting from the themes of Hegel's introduction to the Aesthetics, which confronts Kant and Schiller, the course will firstly deal with the transition to the historicization of aesthetics; secondly, deepening the problem of the plurality of sources we have at our disposal for Hegel's aesthetics as a classic of the discipline, the last part aims at constituting a first introduction to the more general problem of how to organize a critical confrontation with philosophical texts.
