Profile of the programme
|
This Philosophy degree has adopted as its profile a philosophical performativity that is rooted in the act of questioning, assuming the importance of thinking about the issues of our times. The study plan reflects this, with course units that are questions, others that look at current challenges, with electives units that can be chosen among all the training offer of UBI, without neglecting a solid training in the history of thought.
We intend
1) To provide a systematized and participated knowledge of the theoretical contents of philosophical thought, in its wide variety of methods, themes and approaches;
2) To cultivate the disciplined and rigorous practice of philosophical questioning, through familiarization with instruments of critical analysis, interpretation and philosophical synthesis;
3) To enable to exercise philosophical interpretation of their time, their world and their history;
4) Contribute to the intellectual, socially aware maturation of students. |
