Mind and cognition and Philosophical Systems.

Mind and cognition and Philosophical Systems.
An introduction to the 7 types of mind, their objects and philosophical systems

A program aimed specifically at students who will begin the FPMT Masters Program on February 1, 2023, and open to anyone who would like an overview of these subjects. Classes will be primarily focused on subjects preparatory to the first years of study in the Masters Program.

The subjects covered are extracted from the texts Mind and Cognition (Lo-Rig) and Philosophical Systems (Drup-ta), specifically, from the former text, the various types of minds and their objects and from the latter an introduction to the 4 Buddhist Philosophical Schools and in particular the Madyamaka Svatantrika Yogachara School. The fundamentals of syllogisms and correct signs will also be explained.

The program will take place on a daily basis from Monday to Friday in a residential and streaming mode. Enrolled students will be able to choose whether to follow the entire course in-person or online, or to follow partly online and partly in-person by coming to the Institute when possible (lodging and meals needs to be booked with the reception, see details below).

For students following at a distance, it will be possible to follow the sessions on demand through recordings on Centro Studi Online.

Every day except Wednesdays there will be a two-hour meeting with the tutors, Joan Dombon and Filippo Centrone. Wednesdays will be devoted to individual study and an evening discussion meeting from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. between online and residential students. The discussion will be moderated by the tutors and divided between the English-speaking group and the Italian group.
