Program Description

Program Description

The programme? at ?offers eight specialisations:
  • History of Philosophy
You will explore the history of philosophy and science from antiquity to the contemporary period. Our specialities are: ancient cosmologies; medieval natural philosophy; the Scientific Revolution and the birth of modern philosophy; idealism and phenomenology; the emergence and end of the metaphysical tradition; philosophy in the technological age.
  • Metaphysics and Epistemology
This specialisation mainly focuses on how metaphysical questions are raised in the continental tradition. You examine the fundamental nature of being and the world that encompasses it.
  • Philosophical Anthropology
In the specialisation Philosophical Anthropology you will deal with philosophically significant questions related to human beings and examine the different states of the human condition.
  • Philosophical Ethics
The specialisation Philosophical Ethics centres on the most important moral conflicts and ethical issues in contemporary Western culture. You study these subjects against the backdrop of contemporary European philosophy.
  • Philosophy of Language and Logic
You will study the relationship between language and verbal and non-verbal communication in the context of social interaction. This requires a thoroughly interdisciplinary approach that combines insights, not only from philosophy, but also psychology, linguistics and the social sciences.
  • Philosophy of Mind
You will investigate the biggest questions that concern the mind. Do we have free will? What is consciousness? What is it that makes (most) human beings persons? You investigate answers to these questions from both the analytical and continental tradition.
  • Philosophy of Religion
