Learning outcomes |
The question "What is the world?" does not have to demand an immediate answer; on the contrary, it invites one to assume from the outset the inquiring bid in which the question is played. In this sense, this course aims to stimulate the practice of philosophical questioning, through a fundamental theme of philosophy. At the end of the UC, the student should be able to: (i) identify issues concerning our being-in-the-world and being-in-the-world; (ii) make explicit the fundamental elements of the perspectives studied; (iii) discuss answers to the question "What is the world?"; (iv) problematize our being and being-in-the-world.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The aims of the Unit will be achieved through the discussion of themes that offer valid perspectives not only to deepen the speculative scope of a Unit-question, but also to circumscribe a philosophically relevant perimeter for the construction of constants for any determination exercise. Such perspectives will be discussed by different teachers each week. Each student's final assessment will result from the consideration of the following elements: i) active participation and relevant intervention in the work of the weekly sessions and ii) preparation of a written test with oral presentation.
