Knowledge and understanding. The course allows to acquire a structured knowledge, verified during the course through oral examinations, about the currents and the major philosophical debate of the contemporary African philosophy. The acquisition of these cognitive elements involves the enhancement and development of a specific historical-historiografical and comparative mode of critic understanding.

Applying knowledge and understanding. The historical and comparative learning in a intercultural context of understanding and analysis of texts and debates in African and diasporic areas, is designed to train a concrete ability to philosophical mediation, through the critical control of contents and the appropriation of a specific methodological habitus.

Making judgement. The historical and comparative learning and its methodological habitus formed in the student a critical capacity of judgement in two directions: the historical-critical awareness of their own interpretive categories and and the understanding of other epistemological paradigms

Communication skills. The student, trough lectures, seminars and tutorials, learn to apply at the history of philosophy field a specific cross-cultural lexicon.

Learning skills. The acquisition of a historical-historiographical and comparative methodological habitus establishes and strengthens an autonomous capacity learning, performed by the cognitive sequence: textual and linguistic analysis – historical-critical contextualization – comparative evaluation – negotiation’s points discernment.
