General description

Philosophy is concerned with the fundamental questions of human existence. By considering human beings as sentient, thinking, and cognizant beings and as social, political, and acting subjects, philosophy reflects on the fundamentals and conditions not only of science, the mind, and language, but of society and culture. Besides a knowledge of the history of philosophy (from antiquity and the Middle Ages to the early modern period and the 19th and 20th centuries), the study covers key concepts, problems, and theories from various areas of contemporary philosophy (logic and the philosophy of science, metaphysics, cognitive theory, the philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, general and applied ethics, political philosophy, and aesthetics).
