Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
The course aims to introduce the students to the specificity of philosophical questioning and provide them with an art knowledge base in general philosophy that will help them develop their critical faculties, to refine their methods of reasoning and to adopt a reflexive stance on the construction of knowledge within Human Sciences.
This course thus has a transversal interest. It trains in the scientific approach, by developing critical and conceptual skills such as:
1) problematization or the art of identifying what in a situation or a case is problematic and what is at stake
2) conceptualization or the ability to historically specify and contextualize the concepts to translate them into real tools for reflection, which will ultimately make it possible to build a solid personal judgment on a given question
3) argumentation or the ability to analyze and reproduce both valid and impactful arguments, to highlight worldviews or values underlying a reasoning, as well as the presuppositions of a thesis or an opinion.
