Ha scritto Yves Bonnefoy che l’arte italiana
è l’«arrière-pays», il retroterra di qualsiasi
esperienza e memoria del bello; e Osip
Mandelštam osservò che per leggere Dante
occorre avere uno sguardo volto al futuro.
Questo è l’ambito della civiltà italiana: la me-
moria di una perfezione condivisa, l’esercizio
di un pensiero capace di abbracciare gli
“universali” della condizione umana. Questa
universalità non è somma di digressioni
all’infinito: è, al contrario, come scrisse Jorge
Luis Borges della Divina Commedia, capacità
di racchiudere tutta una vita in un verso.
Comprendere il vissuto della storia, gli
universali del pensiero, stringerli in sintesi,
offrirli come una “prospettiva”: arte, filosofia,
poesia, spiritualità chiamate a dar forma
all’essenziale.

The Master in Philosophy at USI is a research
master with a special focus on theoretical
philosophy and its history.
It is a research master in that it requires
students to submit regular written work,
to produce research papers and to develop
their discussion skills in class. It focuses
on theoretical philosophy and its history
in particular. The Master offers courses in
contemporary analytic philosophy, metaphys-
ics and philosophy of mind, and in the history
of philosophy, ancient and medieval, which are
designed to complement each other. Unlike
other masters in philosophy, the Master in
Philosophy at USI has a strong thematic unity.
In 2018-19, the topic of the programme is time
and existence. The detailed exploration of the
philosophy of time and existence aims to
provide a full grasp of two central interrelated
philosophical topics and an introduction to
contemporary research in philosophy and the
history of philosophy.

Tourism
International Tourism
38 39International Tourism.
Tourism – the romantic escape from everyday
reality to picturesque places has grown to
become a major economic sector in itself.
Next to financial services, it is the only industry
that is established in every country around the
world. Tourism is produced internationally and
it fascinates an international clientele that
could not be more diverse: Day-trippers,
Backpackers, Families, Responsible Tourists,
Business Tourists – or rather hundreds of
millions of human beings who all approach
their leisure time with a different interpretation.
Managing tourism means understanding its
diversity and it also implies the frequent
change of perspectives – from tourism
suppliers to the tourists, the local community,
and the environment – and different disciplines
like Economics, Communication, and Manage-
ment. The tourism industry needs competent
and dynamic young people who have a
strategic and curious view on tourism and who
like to challenge the status quo with a strong
sense of responsibility.
