***english below*** This course is for anyone who wants to learn a little more about philosophy or sociology. Whether it is strengthening knowledge for a pre-university diploma or simply out of intellectual curiosity, this course is for you. Make links. Here is the key word of my working method. I sincerely believe that disciplines such as philosophy or sociology lend themselves to a cross-analysis with other knowledge (moreover, historically, philosophy is anchored in mathematics!) The course will be organized the way the student wishes, thus leaving freedom of learning. What will not be of his goodwill will then be the content of the course, which will be at my expense and will allow, if possible, to cover all the problems and issues that the student wishes to talk about. ****** This course is for anyone who wants to learn more about philosophy or sociology.

What if human culture is not exclusively human? Zooanthropology, or On Becoming Cultural with Non-human Animals is an introductory 10-lesson course exploring the relationship between humans and other animals and asking a fundamental question: how much of what we call “culture” has actually emerged through our relationships with other species? The course offers a different perspective. Rather than considering culture an exclusively human achievement, zooanthropology understands it as something that has emerged through relationships, encounters and exchanges between species. Other animals are not simply objects of human knowledge or resources for human development: they are subjects who have influenced, shaped and transformed us. This perspective invites us to reconsider our own position in the world and to question some deeply rooted assumptions about the supposed boundary between humans and other animals. It also encourages us to decentre our perspective and to become more attentive to forms of intelligence, communication, emotion, learning and relationship that do not seem to resemble our own. The course is transdisciplinary, drawing on anthropology, philosophy, ethology and other fields. Along the way, you will encounter concepts such as intersubjectivity, epiphany, hybridisation and epimelesis, among many others. But don't be intimidated by the terminology! No previous knowledge of anthropology, philosophy, ethology or zooanthropology is required. What the course does require is curiosity, an interest in human–nonhuman animal relations, and a willingness to question some familiar ideas and look at the world from a less anthropocentric perspective. Slides and a bibliography will be provided.

Learn history and philosophy through clear, structured, and personalized lessons. I help students understand historical events, important thinkers, philosophical ideas, and the connections between politics, society, culture, and everyday life. Lessons can include: Ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary history European and Italian history History of ideas and political thought Greek philosophy Medieval and modern philosophy Kant, Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, and other major philosophers Support for school assignments, exams, and oral presentations Reading and explanation of historical and philosophical texts My method is based on simple explanations, timelines, maps, images, short texts, and guided discussion. The goal is not only to memorize dates and names, but to understand why events happened and how ideas developed.
