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.

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.

"When, at Christmas, we place the statue of the Infant Jesus in the manger, the nativity scene suddenly comes alive. God appears as a child, for us to take into our arms. Beneath weakness and frailty, he conceals his power that creates and transforms all things".
(Pope Francis, Admirabile signum, n. 8).

The Rector and the academic community of the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross send warm greetings for a Holy Christmas and a Happy New Year 2021.

The new issue of Notizie dalla Santa Croce, the free internal bulletin published by the University Communication Office, is being distributed these days.

On December 7, 2020, on the occasion of the third anniversary of the publication of the Apostolic Constitution Veritatis gaudium of Pope Francis, an interinstitutional agreement was signed by the Conference of Rectors of Roman Universities and Pontifical Institutions (CRUIPRO) to promote the mobility of students within the Roman ecclesiastical university system.

The agreement provides that every semester, ordinary students will be able to attend a course in one of the signatory institutions free of charge, subject to authorization by the institution they belong to and acceptance by the host institution.
