Philosophy
The degree program Philosophy offers a research-oriented environment for students to deepen their knowledge of and specialize in the areas of history of philosophy and contemporary philosophy as well as in theoretical and practical philosophy. Students can develop an individual profile within broad thematic areas ranging from logic and epistemology to metaphysics and philosophy of religion, (applied) ethics, natural and cultural philosophy, aesthetics, philosophy of mind and philosophy of language.
