The general objective is for the students to first learn to detect classical philosophical problems, becoming familiar with the different styles of philosophical texts. The specific objective is to understand the texts in all their richness, thanks to detecting the main problem, know how to contextualize it in the historical tradition of philosophy, analyze the concepts and the specific philosophical terminology used and develop a reasoned critical argument of subjunctive conflicts
The ultimate goal is to provide the student with philosophical tools that allow him/her an autonomous thought that opens the doors to the development of new critical perspectives of the philosophical present. And to do it through the reading, analysis and critical reflection of a series of fundamental texts of the history of philosophy.
At the end of the course, the student must be able to:
1 Appropriating the specificity of a philosophical reading.
2 Acquire the ability to analyze philosophical terminology.
3 Develop a current critical thinking from the rigorous ideas that accompany it.
4 Know how to reflexively argue an autonomous philosophical critique
Reading of Plato's Phaedo

1. Theoretical classes: these are master classes in which the teacher will present the overall thought of the author of the text and will frame it within the history of philosophical thought. At the same time take the opportunity to comment on the fundamental characteristics of the text to be read.
2.Reading of the texts: practicum. it is necessary that the student makes a first individual reading of the texts that will be worked on in class collectively (the day indicated by the teacher), pointing out the ideas that he has understood and the difficulties he has encountered
3. Collective rereading in class of the most relevant fragments, or that have presented some difficulty, and discussion of key concepts. The teacher will guide the class based on the contents and doubts that arise from the reading made by the students.
4. Critical analysis of the fundamental ideas of the global text: the students will present in the classroom a critical analysis of the texts, an activity that will be valued, and which in turn will allow a collective discussion supervised by the teacher. The ability to argue clearly, ordered and with some difficulty will be assessed.
5. Critical thematic debate: the ability to substantiate the arguments themselves will be valued, as well as respect for the diversity of opinions, that is, they must be criticized with respect but with solid reflections.
* details, materials and dates of the various activities proposed throughout the course will be provided on the virtual campus.
Directed activities: They will be adapted, if necessary, in whatever percentage, to virtual teaching, through the various existing systems (Teams, narrated powerpoints, videos, podcasts, etc.).
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Second sitting: those students who have not passed some of the three tests, carried out or delivered in the established term can attennd the second sitting. Only for major reasons (formally justified) will be able to present to the recovery those students that have not presented in or delivered some of the tests. In this case, the average mark must be higher than 3 to submit the second sitting. In all cases, the student will be evaluated of the contents with a not passed.
Remember: in the event that a student has not been able to be evaluated in at least 30% of the tests of this subject, his / her file will include a NON-EVALUABLE one.
It is possible that the Department of Philosophy will establish (as will be done during the first semester) a period dedicated to evaluative tests. The teaching staff will indicate whether such a period exists or what the test dates are at the beginning of each course.
Plagiarism: In the event that the student commits any irregularity that could lead to a significant variation in the grade of an assessment act, this assessment act will be graded with 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that may be instructed. . In the event of several irregularities in the evaluation of the same subject, the
final grade for this subject will be 0.
This subject allows the use of AI technologies as an integral part of the submitted work, provided that the final result reflects a significant contribution from the student in terms of analysis and personal reflection. The student must clearly (i) identify which parts have been generated using AI technology; (ii) specify the tools used; and (iii) include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and final outcome of the activity. Lack of transparency regarding the use of AI in the assessed activity will be considered academic dishonesty; the corresponding grade may be lowered, or the work may even be awarded a zero. In cases of greater infringement, more serious action may be taken.
In the event that the tests cannot be done in person, their format will be adapted (maintaining their weighting) tothe possibilitiesoffered bythe UAB’s virtual tools. Homework, activities and class participation will be done through forums, wikis and / or exercise discussions through Teams, etc. The teacher will ensure that the Student can access it or offer alternative means, which are within his / her reach.
