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. His critical and multi-perspectives syntheses -- albeit nourished by the necessary philological and historical-cultural mediations -- engage themselves directly and immediately with the weight and consequences of things to think about.
Learning to recognize the multiple meanings, stratifications and references of an important philosophical text.
Learning to focus more on the right questions than on the answers.
Learning to articulate discourses aiming at justifying your own claims to truth.
