Philosophy

Master Degree

Ano Letivo 2023/2024

This Master has three areas of specialization: Contemporary Philosophy, Philosophy in Portugal, Ethics, Gender and Citizenship. The common goal of the three areas is to enable the debate on key issues of collective life and contemporary thought, enabling its articulation with the Portuguese philosophical culture. Other specific objectives are, for example: to contribute to the critical knowledge of the old collection of the Évora Public Library; to promote the understanding of the ethical dimension of the development processes linked to the problems of globalization and technological society; to explore interdisciplinary perspectives in the approach to theoretical and epistemological questions in the scope of citizenship and gender. The Philosophy Department, which is responsible for the course, has cooperation protocols under the ERASMUS program with foreign universities, namely from Belgium (Liège), Spain (Murcia), Italy (Padova), Poland (Warsaw), Hungary (Szegedi) and the Czech Republic (Hradec Králové and Palachého v Olomouci).
