Giovanni
Master's Degree in Philosophy at UNICAL. Independent researcher publishing on academic journals and presenting at conferences in Europe.

Individual lessons or packages of 5 lessons or 10 lessons among the following:

1. - The origins of Western Philosophy from its roots in Ancient Greek Paganism. Homer's "Iliad" and "Odyssey", Hesiod and the "Theogony" as a necessary background for understanding the birth of Philosophy. The theory of the oriental influence behind the beginning of critical thinking.

2. - Thales and the "Arkhé": how in the beginning there was water. Water in Homer, Hesiod, and Thales. Water in Near Eastern mythology. The concept of "Arkhé" and its relation to the idea of "archaic" and the science of "archeology".

3. - Pythagoras and Numbers. Pythagoras' Theorem. The Tetraktys. Pythagoreans and their unknown character. The mysteries of Mathematics. Oriental origins?

4. - Anaximander and the Apeiron. Apeiron and Hesiod's Chaos. Apeiron and Fate/Necessity. Apeiron and the Original Sin. Heidegger's reading of the fragment.

5. - Anaximenes and Air. The Greek concept of "Pneuma" and Owen Barfield's theory of Poetic Diction. Ruach in the Old Testament. Luce Irigaray and the Air-Oblivion.

6. - Heraclitus: the Fire of Logos; "War is a father to all"; "You may not wash twice in the same river". The union of the opposites. A Romantic Age parallel: William Blake and "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell". Taoism, Zen Buddhism, and Heraclitus.

7. - Parmenides and the question of Being: "What exists must exist and cannot disappear; what does not exist cannot exist and cannot appear". Emanuele Severino. Philosophy and Poetry.

8. - Hempedocles and the Two "Arkhai": Love and Strife. Who said we should have a monarchy in principles? and other highlights of philosophical dualism (and pluralism).

9. - Anaxagoras and the "homoiomeriai": the little particles of which everything is comprised of. Did we mention pluralism? Can we talk about evolution in Anaxagoras? What about reincarnation or "metempsychosis"? What about Buddhism?

10. - Democritus and the atoms. Is it philosophy or science? A precursor of modern discoveries or an ancient Pre-Socratic thinker? Does Democritus fit well with his precursors?

It is true that the philosopher is the friend of wisdom, but above all, he is someone who does not want to make mistakes in reasoning. Philosophizing is a way of reasoning and a way of solving problems that will never have a perfect and definitive solution. Knowing the distance between the Earth and the Moon is not a problem of philosophy, because it is enough to measure to solve it. On the other hand, knowing, for example, what justice is, is a problem of philosophy. A meter will not be able to help us know the answer. We must go about it differently, and in the courses I offer, I will teach you how.

You will learn

- text reading strategies
- case studies with the aim of learning from experts
- methodology in philosophy
- writing an essay
- writing a text commentary
- a work on the philosophers of your choice
- an overview of the history of philosophy
- the general culture necessary to be able to philosophize

I will adapt to your individual needs. Each course is tailor-made. We will analyze where your difficulties lie and together develop a course program that will make you perform as quickly as possible. The basic principle of the courses I offer is dialectics, like Plato's dialogues: reflecting together, making theoretical contributions, asking questions and seeking answers, and testing the validity of reasoning.

For the past 10 years, I have been teaching German using the philosophy methodology, having studied philosophy at the Master's level at Aix-Marseille University. It turns out that the analytical mind is very useful even outside the confines of philosophy. Today, there are even fields of activity such as management with philosophy or philotherapy. In recent years, some German students have asked me to also teach them philosophy courses, and that is why I decided to offer philosophy courses directly.

I look forward to meeting you during a first lesson.
