Political Philosophy
Course: An Introduction to Plato’s Republic
Class 11: The Philosophic Education (II)
Professor: Jonathan Culp, Ph.D., Director of International Studies & Associate Professor, University of Dallas
Course Description:
The purpose of this class is to introduce students to Socratic-Platonic political philosophy through a careful study of Plato’s most comprehensive work, the Republic. Commonly known as a book outlining a political utopia, Plato’s Republic is in truth a comprehensive reflection on the nature of the human soul, its longing for justice, and its place within the whole. The Republic is also complex, elusive, and often outrageous. In the course of reading the Republic, we shall consider many of the crucial questions it presents to us: What is justice? Is it good to be just? What is the best form of government? the best education? the best way of life? What are the obstacles in the way of these things? What is truth and how do we find it? We will read the Republic slowly and carefully and contemplate Plato’s responses to these questions.
Class 11:
In this class, Dr. Culp completes his discussion of the Republic’s account of philosophic education and of the city in speech. First, Dr. Culp discusses Socrates’ crucial claim that philosopher kings must be compelled to rule. According to Socrates, the philosophic life is the best life and political activity is, from that perspective, a distraction. But the very fact that philosophers do not want to rule ensures that they are most qualified to rule, because it shows they are immune to corruption. Dr. Culp next gives an overview of the philosophic curriculum, with its culmination in “dialectic”—the cross-examination of opinions in search of the true account of what things are. Dr. Culp calls attention to Socrates’ claim that dialectic is inherently morally and politically dangerous. Next, Dr. Culp discusses Socrates’ final account, at the end of Book VII, of how the city in speech could be founded. Dr. Culp concludes that the city is, effectively, impossible, and reflect that it may also be unnatural and irrational.

American Constitutional Principles
Course 1: The Declaration of Independence and the Purposes of Government
Class 8: From Classical to Christian to Modern
Christopher Wolfe, professor of constitutional law and former co-director of the Thomas International Center
Course Description:
This course will explore the principles of the American Constitution. In the first part of the course we will examine the Declaration of Independence, because this document clearly lays out the purposes of the Constitution. Next, we will discuss the basic principles of the original American Constitution as it came forth from the framers of the first part of American History. These are the four premises of republicanism: federalism, separation of powers, constitutionalism, and the extended republic. Special attention will be placed on how these doctrines reflect the aims of government established by the Declaration. Finally, we will study the ways in which these principles have changed throughout American History.
Topic 4: This week we will look at the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution from the viewpoint of the different conceptions of political philosophy that emerge from Christian, Classical, and Modern sources. This week’s lesson plan is developed through two different classes.

Questa è la lezione introduttiva di un corso di livello universitario basato sul mio libro "Vaccino come atto di amore? Epistemologia della scelta etica in tempi di pandemia"
https://www.amazon.it/Vaccino-come-atto-damore-Epistemologia/dp/8897328164/ref=sr_1_4?__mk_it_IT=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=1TPFU4IUT51MP&keywords=fulvio+di+blasi&qid=1647255063&sprefix=fulvio+di+blasi%2Caps%2C184&sr=8-4
In questo corso mi propongo sia di spiegare i fondamenti dell'analisi morale degli atti umani (o della scelta morale) sia di analizzare la scelta etica che abbia ad oggetto i vaccini anti COVID attualmente in uso. Si tratta di un corso di etica applicata che richiede una spiegazione generale di alcuni concetti di base dell'etica fondamentale.
