School of Philosophy

Filosofia

Understanding in context, in the heart of Rome

The School of Philosophy promotes contextual mediation between the fields of learning, between different cultures, and between reason and faith. With openness to theology, the School favors the understanding of the metaphysical dimension of truth and of the anthropological and historical, cultural context.

Events 2023-24    Faculty Flyer    Study Plan 2023-24

We offer the foundations for understanding the crucial issues, whether current or perennial, to address the questions posed by scientific discovery and cultural change. The philosophical thought of Saint Thomas Aquinas, read in the light of the encyclical Fides et Ratio, roots our common tradition.

Our teaching style develops capability for critical thought, methodological accuracy, and intellectual responsibility:

  • Systematic and organic formation in the fundamental areas of Philosophy;
  • Direct contact with authors and their great philosophical works;
  • Deepening appreciation for the metaphysical and anthropological dimensions of the classical tradition.

In a context:

  • Of study and collaboration between professors and students: with an individualized tutorial approach and a dedicated teacher to guide each student;
  • With a library among the most complete for the study of Philosophy;
  • Universal, characterized by closeness to the See of Peter;
  • Open to the needs of local Churches, with a diverse community of students coming from the whole world.

On Friday, May 10th, 2024, the annual University Feast in memory of Blessed Álvaro del Portillo, our founder and first Grand Chancellor, will take place.

As a special guest, we will have the artist and sculptor JAGO, the pseudonym of Jacopo Cardillo, author of numerous exhibitions and installations. As stated on his website: "His artistic research is rooted in traditional techniques. JAGO uses marble as a noble material but addresses fundamental themes of the era he inhabits, establishing a direct relationship with the public through the use of video and social networks, to share the production process."

The schedule for the Feast will be as follows:

The Pontifical University of the Holy Cross, in order to mitigate as much as possible the economic effects of the increase in the mandatory contribution for enrollment in the National Health Service (SSN), has entered into an agreement with the company EUROP Assistance (via EXE Insurance Broker), which offers its students from non-EU countries who wish to join, an insurance coverage useful also for obtaining a residence permit.

The policy can be taken out starting from Monday, April 15, 2024.

The cost is € 250.00 annually.

The information page with all the instructions regarding the Policy can be found at: assicurazionesanitaria.pusc.it
