Steps of Philosophy

My intention is to provide further materials in the future on current issues or topics relating to philosophy: I am working on it, when I have the time...

Any faculty of study can never be separated from its contents: a glance can be given to the work plan regarding the last three years at secondary school.
For the last classes there are some in-depth proposals starting from the viewpoint and definition of multi-disciplinary.
While, for the last years at secondary school, there is a list of thesis and classical authors which are proposed as suggested readings for further in-depth study.

For some philosophers I decided to start from graphical charts, rather than provide studies that are generally accessible in textbooks or even on internet.
Some pages are in fact summaries, others are fast in-depth studies, and others are in-depth forms regarding specific topics or theme problems.




Ancient and middleage philosophy
The first step can be a Small dictionary.
Beginnings of philosophy.
Diagram on Pythagoras.
Diagram on Heraclitus.
Presocrates, nature and man.
Sophists, Socrates, Plato.
Diagram on Plato and also a Questionnaire on the «Phaedo».
Diagram on Aristotle.
Diagram on St. Augustine.
Diagram on Thomas Aquinas.
Problem of universals.

Modern philosophy
Interpretations on Humanism.
Diagram on Descartes.
Diagram on Bodin, Machiavelli, Campanella.

On empiricism are now available: diagram on Locke; diagram on Berkeley; diagram on Hume.

Further a file is available on the Enlightenment: there is a departure definition; an express excursus on the philosophical movements that go from the Humanism to the Enlightenment; one analysis of the general and specific characters for the several nations assumed from the enlightenment movement; one outline of the civilization plan.
And also: a diagram on Kant.

The relationship between Enlightenment and Romanticism can be not only of simple opposition.
An other file is on the Idealism and the Spiritualism: also here, we start from one general definition in theoretical sense, and then considering specific meanings in the German thought (or the French one for the spiritualism) and the oppositions to these movements.
There is also a diagram on Schelling and a diagram on Hegel.

Contemporary philosophy
Diagram on Freud.
Crisis of Positivism.
Diagram on Husserl.
Diagram on Wittgenstein.
My degree thesis (summary).
In truth this file contains only some parts: I do not know if I will succeed to make available the text on «The phenomenological theory of Alfred Schütz like problem of theoretical microsociology».

Perhaps I could include here also a reflection attempt on the seriousness of the game and its rules; on the truth of witty remarks and of the 'half-serious' one.
It is also a dialogue attempt...
