Overview

The Contemporary Philosophy - Philosophy of Science course from National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) aims to familiarize the students with the major schools of thought in contemporary philosophy and to offer high-level training in the different fields of philosophical research. By the end of their studies, graduates are expected to be able to conduct independent and collaborative research, meeting all requirements for pursuing doctoral studies.

It is the only program in Greece to focus on Contemporary Philosophy, in both its ‘analytic’ and ‘continental’ instantiations, and one of the few programs worldwide to provide a specialization in the Philosophy of Physical and Social Sciences.
