This course aims to provide students of Philosophy, Politics, and Economics with a historical perspective on the ideas that have inspired the forms of government through which societies have been organized throughout history. It is based on the analysis of the most prominent political thought currents, establishing connections between concepts and ideas with the cultural and socio-economic contexts in which they were born and where they had a powerful influence. The History of Ideas and Political Forms thus provides tools for a contextualized understanding of any power reality, acknowledging both the role that social contexts play in the ideological foundation of politics and the impact of ideas on historical development. In this way, it prepares students to compare and understand different models, offering analytical keys that are different and complementary to those of Philosophy, Politics, and Economics.

The teaching methodology used in the face-to-face mode of the course will be as follows:
Theoretical Sessions:
? Initial activities to inquire about the students' prior knowledge.
? Presentation of the key theoretical content of the course.
? Guidance on supporting texts and setting guidelines for the completion of group and individual tasks.
? Student presentations.
Practical Sessions:
? Development of activities aimed at reflection and the application of the skills and knowledge acquired through theoretical sessions and readings.
? Debates.
? Some practical sessions will be dedicated to organizing, planning, and discussing the progress of group work.
Activities and Work Outside the Classroom:
? Reading and personal work (preparation of concept maps and summaries).
? Analysis of historical texts and critical review of one or more monographs.
? Preparation of group work and attendance at tutoring sessions.
To be evaluated in the regular examination period, all activities subject to evaluation must have been completed. The activities to be evaluated must be submitted by the deadlines indicated by the professor. If, for any duly justified and communicated reason accepted by the professor, they could not be submitted within the established period, they may be submitted before the date of the subject exam, so that the professor can grade them, although in this case the professor is not obligated to provide feedback on these activities to the student.
On the other hand, the student has the right to take the final written exam even if they have not submitted all the other evaluation activities, but the final grade for the subject will only be calculated if all activities have been submitted and according to the evaluation criteria and weighting established in this teaching guide. If any evaluation activity has not been submitted or completed, it will be recorded in the official record as ?Not Presented? for that exam session.
EXTRAORDINARY EXAMINATION PERIOD (IN-PERSON / REMOTE):
The evaluation criteria are the same as those in the regular examination period, so all continuous assessment activities completed during the course must be submitted. The grades for completed activities (including the final written exam) will be retained while pending activities are completed. The same weighting criteria as in the regular evaluation will be applied. This measure applies only to the current academic year; if the extraordinary exam period is not passed, reenrollment will require repeating the entire subject.
ON THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TOOLS:
Use of AI tools: If AI tools are used in any activity, a paragraph must be included explaining how AI was used and what prompts or instructions were given to obtain the results. Failure to do so constitutes a violation of academic honesty policies.
