03
LESSONS
The lessons in the second edition have been doubled: Fondazione Campania dei Festival has, in fact, established that for each school, a first meeting with the "adopted" philosopher would be followed, after a few weeks, by a second one, in which to deepen the topic and start a dialectical confrontation with the students.
Two paths were addressed: a political-juridical one, which involves the relationships between law, law and justice; the other anthropo-theological, in which the imperative of the Law questions man's relationship with himself and with God, with his own roots and destination.
04
FORCED STOP
#restoacasaconfilosofia
The lockdown caused by pandemic for Covid-19 led to the forced stop of the project: in the days we were at home, we collected the articles of the scholars who adhered to Adotta un filosofo 2, reflecting on the health situation and its consequences.
Sorry, we couldn't find any posts. Please try a different search.
05
VIDEO LESSONS
On February and March 2020, the project was interrupted, for that reason some schools were unable to complete the two-lesson cycle. The Foundation asked the philosophers to prepare their lectio magistralis remotely, sending videos to the schools, thus allowing the students to continue their training.
06
AWORDS
The award ceremony could not be held in the presence of all the schools that took part in the initiative. But a small delegation representing the Foundation reached the institutes, rewarding the students with the delivery of a PC.
