Explore human knowledge and morality

Are you looking for in-depth discussions of current issues in epistemology, moral and political philosophy, as well as their historical roots? Do you want to study hot topic in the social world? Do you want to hone your research skills for a possible future PhD? Then this is the programme for you!

Are you ready to apply historically informed views about knowledge and morality to topical issues like fake news and conspiracy theories, climate scepticism, the ubiquitous application of Artificial Intelligence, the relationship between freedom and equality, individual responsibility for collective outcomes, and the morality of markets?

  3. A strong focus on research skills and preparation for an academic career; 
  4. The opportunity to spend a semester abroad; 
  5. The fact that the programme is embedded in a humanities research and education environment.
