Introduction to the Program

Aprende a transmitir a tu alumnado la pasión por la filosofía con un planteamiento docente apoyado en la última tecnología educativa”

En el mercado de trabajo actual, los filósofos que complementan sus estudios con estudios en inversión y finanzas, por ejemplo, o los estudiantes de economía que enriquecen su acervo intelectual con maestrías en filosofía son inmensamente valorados y buscados por cazatalentos de todo el mundo. La capacidad del filósofo de ver las cosas desde otra óptica, de pensar (como dirían los anglosajones outside the box, de contemplar la realidad desde una óptica diferente, es un activo fundamental en el mundo creativo y frenético que vivimos. En lo personal, la filosofía ayuda a ver las cosas, como decía el gran Spinoza, sub aespecie aeternitatis, es decir, bajo un prisma de eternidad, sabiendo que en el gran contexto del mundo y el universo nuestras acciones son a la vez relevantes e insignificantes.

El papel de la filosofía como una disciplina consolatoria antes los males y desgracias de este mundo, ha sido siempre fundamental y además, nos permite entender mejor nuestra naturaleza, nuestras acciones, nuestra moralidad, nuestro ser. En definitiva, la filosofía nos ayuda a crecer como personas, a madurar como individuos, a ser más responsables como ciudadanos y a mejorar nuestro rendimiento laboral. Este programa aborda la filosofía desde un aspecto global pero a la vez totalmente accesible. Otras maestrías se centran además en el estudio puramente teórico de la filosofía, desconectándola del aspecto pedagógico, mientras que este tratará siempre de mantener un enfoque docente. Hoy en día es más importante que nunca ofrecer una enseñanza de la filosofía que sea a la vez rigurosa y comprensible.El alumno puede esperar terminar con un conocimiento completo de los más fundamentales temas filosóficos, desde lo más puramente teórico y metafísico hasta lo más práctico y activo del ser humano.

Postgraduate Diploma in Philosophy and Philosophical Anthropology

Socrates once said, "True wisdom lies in recognizing one's own ignorance." What is man in the face of that limitless set of matter, space and time that we call existence? The answer is clearly not simple, but it would be even more complicated to try to live totally oblivious to such an approach. Our knowledge of the nature of the perceived world is minimal and therefore it is necessary to vindicate the path to knowledge in its purest essence. The Postgraduate Diploma in Philosophy and Philosophical Anthropology offered by TECH is a proposal to address this direction from curricular approaches of great impact. We know that it is from the classroom where we can promote the development of reflective thinking betting on an epistemological transformation that benefits the advancement of society, therefore, we see in this academic program a great opportunity for careers related to pedagogy. As the largest online Faculty of Humanities in the world, we offer you a unique alternative to transcend paradigms.

Philosophy and anthropology, a great plus to your curriculum

This postgraduate program is divided into three modules. The first covers everything related to the nature of philosophical activity, delving into concepts such as the limits of thought, free will, pluralism and relativism, among others. The second one breaks down the exploration of rationality by discussing topics such as the self and the mind. The third and last, encompasses the anthropological approach using argumentation and human rights dissecting ideas such as the Orwellian state and the human link with nature and the artificial. All these topics will be taught in completely virtual classes in which you have the possibility to adjust the time and academic intensity. In addition, this educational format is enhanced by the latest innovations in digital media and high-level training methodologies. Plato said: "A man who risks nothing for his ideas, either his ideas are worth nothing, or the man is worth nothing". Take a risk now and become a great thinker with TECH.
