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 2024-25   Faculty Flyer    Study Plan 2024-25

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.

In evidenza

On Tuesday, December 10, 2024, (from 2:45 PM to 6:15 PM in the Álvaro del Portillo Hall), the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross, through its School of Philosophy and the Future Students Department, will host the 2nd University Orientation Day.

The event, entitled Discover and enhance your talent. Choose your path, is the result of a collaboration between the Holy Cross, other civil universities in Rome and Italy, various schools, and numerous high school teachers. It has created an "open round table" as a forum for dialogue between school and university teachers, with the aim of offering young students the best educational and training resources.

The orientation activity is aimed at fourth and fifth-year high school students from Rome and its province and can be included among the orientation activities currently on the school agenda, as indicated by the Ministry of Education and Merit.

Wednesday, November 27, 2024 (hours 15 - Aula Benedetto XVI), was presented the fascicle 3/2024 of the Salesianum magazine entitled Figures of conscience in moral theology. Edited by LAS, the volume has been curated by Marco Panero, professor of Moral Philosophy at the Salesian University and Arturo Bellocq, professor of Moral Theology at the Santa Croce.

The following individuals participated Mons. Graziano Borgonovo, Under-Secretary of the Dicastery for Evangelization, Maurizio Faggioni, OFM, professor of Bioethics at the Alfonsian Academy and Renato De Moraes Rocha, SDB, professor of Moral Theology at the Salesian.
