Course syllabus
Given the particular context in which the activities of this workshop take place, within the Bollate prison, the specific programme of the meetings can only be available at the beginning of the workshop, as it also depends on obtaining entry permits for the teachers involved. The common thread, however, is represented by the concepts of truth, appearance and lie, applied in the most different fields, from moral philosophy to science
