Introduction to the Program

Incorpórate al saber hacer de los grandes pensadores de nuestro tiempo: “Cuando un ser humano no sabe qué hacer, lo único que le queda es pensar”. (José Ortega y Gasset)” 

Este programa aborda la filosofía desde un aspecto global, pero a la vez totalmente accesible, siempre con un enfoque especial para el docente. 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.  

En el mercado de trabajo actual, los profesionales de otras ramas que complementan su capacitación con maestrías en filosofía, son inmensamente valorados y buscados. La capacidad del filósofo de ver las cosas desde otra óptica, de pensar, como dirían los anglosajones, outside the box, es un activo fundamental en el mundo laboral. 
En lo personal, la filosofía ayuda a ver las cosas, como decía el gran Spinoza, subaespecie 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.  

En esta formación tendrás la oportunidad de acceder a los desarrollos de pensamiento más importantes de la filosofía aplicada a la docencia. A lo largo de un temario muy completo pero muy específico adquirirás los conocimientos y las rutinas necesarias para la enseñanza de esta materia o para su aplicación en otras áreas de tu vida.  

Una oportunidad creada para aportar un enorme valor añadido a tu currículum.
