Speaks EnglishWestern Philosophy, since its inception, has largely ignored the medium by which it is communicated: its literature. This course examines the relation between linguistic ability and philosophical acuity through a number of texts, from ancient to modern.
The approach is to examine seminal works throughout the history of Western Philosophy - one text every class - from Plato's "Symposium" and the poetry of Lucretius, to Descartes' "Meditations" to the ground-breaking work of Friedrich Nietzsche and Ludwig Wittgenstein.

Speaks English, Spanish, FrenchAprende por qué hay personas que dicen "vistes" en vez de "viste". A que no sabes que ese NO es un error. ¿Por qué seguimos usando la "h"? ¿Por qué tenemos acentos tan diferentes? ¿Miguel Hidalgo seseaba al hablar? ¿Qué vicisitudes enfrentó Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz por ser poco recatada?
Utilizo la inducción en vez de la deducción; esto quiere decir que te doy un ejemplo práctico y, a partir de él tú induces la teoría general; contrario a la manera en la que suelen darse las clases. Es la manera más sencilla de aprender bien.

The Anglo/American Experience of Italy
Teacher: Tania Zampini (Florence)
Speaks English, French, ItalianUn panorama della letteratura inglese e americana scritta in o avendo come soggetto principale l'Italia; un viaggio letterario che parte nel tardo Settecento con i poeti Romantici quali John Keats e Lord Byron e che arriva al primo Novecento con James Joyce e Ernest Hemingway.
This course will explore the writings of British and American ex-pats during time spent in Italy. This literary voyage will begin in the late 18th century, with the Romantic poets (Johns Keats and Lord Byron) and will dock in the early 20th century experiences of James Joyce and Ernest Hemingway.
This course aims not only to familiarize students with canonical English literature a product of an Italian setting, but will also examine other artistic movements equally influenced by the Mediterranean peninsula (art, music). It also sees as a secondary goal, the acquisition of English language through literary analysis.
