The study of philosophy allows you to think about and reflect on some of the basic questions that guide the way you live. By studying the important moments in the history of philosophy, you will discover not only what the great philosophers of the past have thought about these basic issues, but also how contemporary authors have addressed them. Our programs allow you to look at the past and the present in order to understand the present and anticipate the future.
Discover political and social philosophy, ethics, esthetics, the philosophy of mind, epistemology, the philosophy of science and logic. The department's reputation rests on its two approaches to philosophy: the historical and the analytical. This is why so many students register in our programs.
An important asset of our department: not only can you take courses in the official language of your choice, but you may also take advantage of our bilingual programs to hone your second language skills.
