(field of studies: Philosophy)

• Programme: the core of the degree
• Specialisation: classical and contemporary concepts
• Languages: reading beyond English
• After graduation: skills that carry over

Theoretical Philosophy is a specialisation within the Philosophy programme (first-cycle studies), taught in English at Jan Długosz University in Częstochowa. It suits students who want to explore philosophical ideas in depth and see how they work in culture and society.

Programme: the core of the degree

Next to the specialisation, you follow the shared core of the programme:

• history of philosophy, from antiquity through the medieval and modern periods to contemporary thought
• logic, both pragmatic and mathematical
• ethics, ontology, epistemology and aesthetics
• philosophical text analysis and a bachelor's seminar that prepares you for the diploma examination
• elective lectures drawn from different branches of the humanities

Specialisation: classical and contemporary concepts

This pathway deepens your knowledge of classical and contemporary philosophical concepts. You learn to analyse ideas in cultural and social processes, to apply philosophical knowledge to problems typical of a given community, and to use humanistic reflection in different kinds of social interaction. You also trace the links between present-day philosophical ideas and cultural change. The specialised part of the plan consists of methodology and six elective speciality lectures, so you can shape it around your own interests.

Languages: reading beyond English

Foreign-language work is built into the plan. A modern foreign language course runs alongside your philosophy classes, ancient culture comes with elements of Greek or Latin, and a translation course trains you to understand philosophical texts written in other languages.
