The programme assumes basic knowledge of the history of philosophy and systematic philosophy acquired during previous bachelor’s studies. The defining feature of the follow-up Master’s degree programme in Philosophy consists of two approaches, which are also reflected in the two parts of the state final examination. The first approach focuses on the study of philosophy in relation to other social science disciplines (theology, science, ethics, society, and politics). The second approach emphasizes philosophical themes that refer to a religious perspective on the world (e.g. Thomistic philosophy, early modern rationalism, the second scholasticism, and 20th-century Christian and Jewish philosophy, etc.).
