Mission

The Philosophy Program is committed to educating individuals capable of thinking with philosophical rigor, addressing the topics of the Problematic Fields (Philosophy of Art and Culture, Philosophy of Science and Methodology, Ethics and Philosophy of Science, Philosophical Thought, and History of Philosophy), the different universes of meaning within which they conduct their work, responding to their own philosophical interests and to the challenges posed by society and culture in their different contexts.

Vision

The Philosophy Program responds to the theoretical interest and need to study and critically and problematically engage with the tradition of Western thought, understood as a cultural universe in which philosophizing defines and renews over time the major questions and fundamental themes that, revisited from our contemporary perspective, generate a multifaceted dialogue with art, culture, science, ethics, technology, politics, history, and society as a whole.

General Objective

The Philosophy Curriculum Program, open to the university academic community, society, and institutions, seeks to educate professionals in the field of philosophy with academic and ethical competence so that they can contribute to society through their work in:

The foundation of the University's very being, insofar as it is conceived as a place without restrictions for the education of all its members in knowledge and ethical values.
Acting upon the social and cultural environment of individuals situated within a historically determined temporal context, as a discourse that questions and establishes an ethos and a society, giving them full meaning and relevance.
A work of reflection and critique that intervenes in university life and guides the work of its various sectors in fulfilling the mission that the University has in our present-day society.

Specific Objectives

Promote research and critical reflection focused on the discourses and practices related to Culture and Art, Science and its Methods, Ethics and Politics, and the History of Philosophical Thought.
Provide guidance in the formulation and implementation of projects developed by institutions, communities, companies, and interdisciplinary research groups.
Perform teaching duties with quality and ethical commitment at all levels of education, contributing to the development of an educational community with the capacity for analysis and critical thinking to respond to the current demands of education, society, and culture.
