THEORETICAL PHILOSOPHY

In the philosophical studies Theoretical Philosophy is as fundamental as the study of Physiology in Medicine. It aims to bring out the first elements of the essential questions of human thought, without limiting itself to an analytical decomposition or a historiographical survey. The course privileges the work on texts, the exhibition of the argumentative strategies and the clarification of the speculative terms devised by the thinkers who have measured themselves with the question around the fundament.
