📚About the Program

The program is thus based on the study of the great philosophical traditions and certain privileged sectors of contemporary reflection (on language, ethics and culture in particular) to lead to the concrete application of philosophy to questions of public interest. The master's program aims to promote the deepening of knowledge in three privileged fields of philosophy: study of important texts, culture and languages ​​as well as ethics and society. The seminar activities, the directed project and the advanced seminar allow students in particular to actively share the research concerns of the teaching staff and to develop, in a flexible and personalized framework, their own questions and their own skills.
