Theory of Justice

The course aims to introduce students to the theoretical foundations of the idea of justice by identifying and discussing its main conceptions and legal rules.
The aim is to offer a general theoretical framework within which to deal with more specific issues that affect the moral assessment of legal rules and public choices, and the decisions to be taken in dilemmas.
The lessons will seek to encourage discussion in the classroom, also in order to contribute to the improvement of the students' abilities.

At the end of the course, the student will have taken over the contents of the course, will have developed adequate argumentative skills at a philosophical and juridical level and will have acquired appropriate competences to favor the continuation of studies with a deeper awareness of the philosophical dimension of some legal problems.
