Goals

- to enable the student to develop and problematise a philosophical question. - To enable the student to master a classical philosophical text (analysis and synthesis) - To enable the student to write a philosophical text that is both a synthesis of his or her philosophical readings and a proposed commentary on them, with personal and critical intervention on the themes addressed in these same readings.

Content

Start from a theme, author or "founding" work of the philosophical tradition and develop a personal writing on the subject, in dialogue with a promoter.

Assessment method

For the personal work in Bac III, a public defence before a jury is foreseen. The jury is composed of the promoter and another reader chosen by the members of the department. The student must present his/her work for about 10 minutes and then answer questions from the promoter and the reader. At the end of the public defence session, the promoter and reader agree on the grade to be awarded to the student. The student will be assessed at the different stages of the writing process according to the procedures that will be communicated at the beginning of the year during a meeting organised for this purpose.

Sources, references and any support material

the readings are chosen by the student in close collaboration with the work's promoter.
