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.

Attività 2022-23  Brochure  Piano di Studi 2022-23

 

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.

Welcome to... Alumni Santa Croce

 

This week, the degree examinations of the Baccalaureate and Licensure Courses of the various schools are taking place, as well as ceremonies to bid farewell to the students finishing their studies.

On Thursday, June 15, 2023, the School of Philosophy honored the academic contribution of Prof. Ignacio Yarza, current dean, as he becomes a professor emeritus.

The event was held in Álvaro del Portillo Lecture Hall, at 3:15 p.m., with several faculty members sharing anecdotes about the faculty over the years.

 

Invitation Card

Atto accademico in onore del prof. Yarza

Following a Call for Projects, launched in July 2022, to gather proposals related to the university’s academic development, the first research projects for the coming academic years have recently been selected.

Each proposal was analyzed and evaluated by a scientific committee, made up of our own professors and professors from other universities, according to qualitative and quantitative criteria. They were then approved by a steering committee and approved by the Rector’s Board.

PROJECTS SUBMITTED

A total of 13 projects were submitted, of which three projects were already selected for the 2023/2024 Academic Year. These projects, which involve about 30 professors and researchers and about 15 universities and academic institutions from various countries, are being developed and may be ongoing through 2030. Of six other projects, those who presented them were asked to elaborate on various aspects, making them more suitable to the evaluation criteria and guidelines; thus, allowing for an effective maturation of the proposals made. They could possibly be resubmitted in future Calls for Projects. Of the remaining four projects, the board suggested that the research be headed by schools and departments.
