Objectives

The objective of the teaching of political and social doctrines is to provide course students with an adequate knowledge of the main theories and currents of political thought, examined in the development of different historical contexts and in the dialectical relationship with cultural, social and economic phenomena. Through a critical examination of the political journalism and the ideological comparison between the different conceptual models and orientations, the student will have to acquire a good ability to analyze political phenomena and be able to express his own evaluations.

Contents

It proposes an interpretation of European and national history in the modern age by relating political ideas, institutions, the economy to the needs of society, outlining the political models developed in the period between Humanism and the Enlightenment in their functional relationship with social interests and aspirations.
As regards the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, starting from the emblematic experience of some significant authors, an analysis of the most important political and social questions will be developed, concerning also the formation and organization of the national states and the relative relations, from the global conflicts with the most recent irenistic and community perspectives

Extended Syllabus

The course includes a general part in which political and social theories will be analyzed through the study of the major political thinkers and the main currents of thought of the modern age.
The special in-depth section includes an analysis of the complex relationship between literature and politics that characterized the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, through the monographic analysis of authors of particular relevance.
We will also focus on the evolution of the social state between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as a specific study, to understand how welfare is realized in modern and contemporary political thought, analyzing the question of fundamental rights in the relationship between social justice and welfare institutions .
