Not required.
Within the Master's Philosophy itinerary, this subject presents topics and authors from the area of ​​Moral Philosophy and Political Philosophy, with the aim of broadening and deepening the themes already started in the Degree, also providing the tools to undertake independent research.
It is about acquiring and mastering a set of concepts that facilitate critical reflection on the past, present and future. We do not intend to "close" any system, nor provide unshakeable truths, but to provide the student with tools for better understanding the social and political world, also fostering the ability to construct a consistent discourse oriented towards reality.
As is traditional in philosophy, questions are usually more important than answers, not because the latter are not of interest, but because we are aware of our limits and the effort that must be made to carry out the indispensable approach to the truth.

The teaching methodology that will be used in the teaching of the subject is specified in:
Work in the classroom:
1. Lectures. Lectures refer to the presentation by the teaching staff of the theoretical contents of the subject, the orientation of the students on basic and advanced readings, as well as on complementary sources of information and the establishment of guidelines and keys for the completion of theoretical and practical tasks.
2. Continuous Assessment. Assessment is an integrated part of the teaching-learning process. In this subject, continuous assessment will be carried out that will combine debates and text comments in class, the delivery of a work at the end of the period on all the activity carried out in it and a final global test. At the same time, the teaching staff will give feedback on the student's progress.
Work or activities outside the classroom:
3. Independent work by the students. The students' independent work consists, on the one hand, of reading selected texts and creating diagrams, summaries, concept maps, etc. based on class materials; and, on the other, of preparing individual work, especially the portfolio.
4. Tutorials. All students will have the possibility of requesting individual or group tutorials, by appointment, from the teaching staff. These tutorials may be aimed at resolving doubts about content, methodology or evaluation.
Ordinary session: In order to be assessed in the ordinary session, all the activities subject to assessment must have been completed. The assessable activities must be handed in on the dates indicated by the teaching staff. If an activity subject to assessment has not been handed in or completed, it will be recorded in the minutes as "Not submitted" in the session.
Extraordinary session: The assessment criteria are the same as in the ordinary session, so all the assessment activities considered in the course must be submitted. The grades for the activities completed will be kept, pending the completion of the pending activities. In this evaluation, the same weighting criteria will be applied as in the ordinary evaluation.
1. Participation and quality of class interventions: Continuous attendance and the ability to locate philosophical problems in the readings worked on in class (text comments) will be assessed, as well as the student's ability to offer reasoned positions on these issues. This aspect of the assessment will have a weight of 20% of the final grade.
2. Portfolio: at the end of the period, a summary of the subject must be presented, in the format of a paper, which must be written from the class notes and notes. Six, seven or eight DIN-A-4 pages, Times New Roman 12, single spaced. 30%
3. Final test of text commentary, theoretical content and reasoned reflection: Reading comprehension, knowledge of the theoretical content studied during the course and the student's ability to analyse a problem and take a reasoned position on it will be assessed, using critically, when necessary, the contributions of other authors. This aspect of the assessment will be worth 50% of the final grade.
Use of AI tools: If AI tools are used in any activity, a paragraph must be included indicating why AI has been used and what indications have been used to obtain the results. Failure to do so is a violation of academic honesty policies.
