Syllabus
The course is articulated in two parts: 1) An introduction to the western legal tradition; 2) Non-contractual liability: a critical assessment. A fundamental institution of private law will be considered in the light of the transformations of the role of the State between XX and XXI century, with the aim to foster the awareness of the connections between legal, economic and political institutions, often obscured by pure technical approaches to the study of the law.
