Human-Animal Studies

Students will gain in-depth knowledge and expertise in an ongoing debate concerning the relation between human and non-human animals.

Students will acquire the ability to:
- critically analyse arguments in moral philosophy and in particular on the relation between human and non-human animals;
- discuss and compare different philosophical positions;
- reflect on complex and articulated philosophical arguments, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses;
- take their own position in a philosophical debate and to put forward arguments in support of it;
- communicate the results of their research effectively, also using multimedia techniques to represent information with possible applications in teaching;
- use relational, communicative and organisational skills also in highly complex contexts and in the management of group work;
- transmit the skills obtained also in non-specialist contexts;
- reflect on their own skills and evaluations;
- autonomously research the philosophical sources of a debate or a school of thought;
- independently investigate a philosophical position or theoretical thesis.
