This specialisation mainly focuses on how metaphysical questions are raised in the continental tradition. You examine the fundamental nature of being and the world that encompasses it.

• Philosophical Anthropology

In the specialisation Philosophical Anthropology you will deal with philosophically significant questions related to human beings and examine the different states of the human condition.

• Philosophical Ethics

The specialisation Philosophical Ethics centres on the most important moral conflicts and ethical issues in contemporary Western culture. You study these subjects against the backdrop of contemporary European philosophy.

• Philosophy of Language and Logic

You will study the relationship between language and verbal and non-verbal communication in the context of social interaction. This requires a thoroughly interdisciplinary approach that combines insights, not only from philosophy, but also psychology, linguistics and the social sciences.

• Philosophy of Mind

You will investigate the biggest questions that concern the mind. Do we have free will? What is consciousness? What is it that makes (most) human beings persons? You investigate answers to these questions from both the analytical and continental tradition.

• Philosophy of Religion

This specialisation focuses on the philosophical reflection on religion in Western thought and contemporary society. It also explores the relation between philosophy and religion in Western and other cultural contexts.

• Social and Political Philosophy

In this specialisation you will study ?the political' as an essential but conflict-ridden aspect of the human condition, and how politics is a way of coping with the issues resulting from this.
