PHILOSOPHY

Print
Ingresso Unità di Filosofia

Continuing in the study and teaching tradition of the previous institutions (the Department of Philosophy and the Philosophical area of the A.L.E.F. Department), Philosophy supports the scientific and academic cooperation of professors and researchers through:

  1. the organisation of national and international conferences, the participation in common projects callings for bids for national and international research financing and the publication of scientific works as a result of the constant exchange of ideas and methodologies, and;
  2. Teaching within the first cycle degree course of Philosophical Studies, the second cycle degree course of Philosophy (Inter-University) and in the Research Doctorate course in Philological-Literary, Historical-Philosophical and Artistic Sciences.

The Unit aims at promoting highly specialised scientific research and, at the same time, research open to inter-disciplinary exchanges within our University and in cooperation with national and international University and research Centres.

It favours communication and sharing of philosophical culture through the magazines “Noctua” and “La società degli individui”, innovation in the teaching of philosophy and the development of the passion for intellectual studies also through the students involvement in seminar, conventions and publications. It strives to achieve competence in teaching both in secondary schools and for A-18 “Philosophy and Human Sciences” and A-19 “Philosophy and History” class ratings. It promotes  the continuation of research activity in public and private institutions and, the commitment to the Third Mission through projects for students and professors of secondary schools.
