General Objective:

  • The program aims to equip graduates in the humanities, as well as graduates from other areas, fields, and specialties, with the skills, abilities, and attitudes necessary to understand the complexity inherent in today's world.

    • Identify and understand contemporary philosophical problems, using the terminology and concepts of philosophical materialism appropriately and rigorously for their identification, analysis, and discussion.
    • Describe and interpret the myths and nematologies that have crystallized in modern times, especially since World War II, explaining the political, religious, and technical contexts to which they are linked.
  • Application and analysis
    • Analyze and comment on documents and sources from diverse origins relevant to current philosophical discussions, assessing their internal coherence, historical context, and the philosophical problems they raise. Identify the contemporary and traditional philosophical conceptions in which they are embedded.
    • Gather relevant information in philosophy from various sources; rework, contrast, and use this information critically in the analysis of contemporary scientific, political, and religious problems.
    • Apply basic procedures for philosophical work, including information search and selection, comparison, analysis (regressus), synthesis (progressus), and critical evaluation, establishing distinctions and classifications while promoting systematic rigor in addressing problems.
    • Apply noetological analysis in comparing different contemporary ideological sources, highlighting their structure and general rational characteristics.
  • Synthesis and evaluation
    • Classify and evaluate the role played by different current philosophical systems in relation to their own environment and establish their links with scientific, political and religious knowledge.
    • Conceive and evaluate the political, social, religious, ideological, technical, technological, scientific, etc., problems of the present, in co-determination with philosophical ideas, considering that a reflection on them can be undertaken from the different philosophical scales, systematic and focused, given in a symploké relationship.
