Our Master of Arts program integrates social theory, political philosophy, and philosophical inquiry. Students explore the evolution of sociopolitical ideas while examining both historical and modern movements. The curriculum encompasses classical traditions alongside current intellectual trends.
This cross-disciplinary program transcends conventional academic divisions, employing both empirical research and theoretical frameworks. Students benefit from our faculty's expertise in modern philosophical discourse and Europe's rich intellectual heritage.
Key research areas include:
social philosophy (with emphasis on Hegelian, Marxist, and Frankfurt School critical theory)
contemporary democratic, socialist, and environmental movements
the development of political, social, and economic theories
epistemology in social sciences and knowledge sociology
Marxist theory and Hegelian philosophy
Kantian philosophy and German Idealism
