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 uni-
versali 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,
metaphysics and philosophy of mind, and in
the history of philosophy, ancient and medie-
val, which are designed to complement each
other. Unlike other masters in philosophy,
the Master in Philosophy at USI has a strong
thematic unity. The topic of the 2017-8 Master
is time – the metaphysics of time, temporal
consciousness, the logic and linguistics of
time, the philosophy of history, the nature
of narratives, time and social ontology. The
special focus on time allows students to have
a closer look at one of the most hotly debated
topics in contemporary philosophy.
