Learning outcomes This UC aims to enable the student to

2. Accessing the fundamental understanding of the protocol concepts of Truth, Substance, Transcendence, Subject, Phenomenon, Existence, Language and Meaning, through which Western philosophy created and configured the discursive horizon of theoretical-practical rationality;
3. Locate the multiple and differentiated perspectives of Ontology from the perspective of reference authors who gave it a speculative and systematized reach, and also from the perspective of the movements that denounced its limits and meaninglessness;
4. Assimilate the obvious relevance and relevance of ontological questioning in the face of the challenges currently raised by digital dematerialization, virtual modeling and algorithmic programming.
