Teaching Methods
The methodology to suit this course is the seminar. It will be used a set of different texts , which will be discussed and presented by student groups. After the period of individual work, students will be invited to produce an "axiological journal" in which they will seek to continue this reflexive atitude.
Fit the teacher, of course, to contribute to the discussions, bringing the "memory of past discussions" and summaries of the possible positions in confrontation.
