Philosophy And Arts (FIT)

Subject of the Programme

Postgraduate Programme: Philosophy and Arts
The Postgraduate Programme in Philosophy and Arts is distinguished by its innovative and pioneering approach. Designed for graduates from both domestic and international higher education institutions, the program offers a unique opportunity to explore the intersection between Philosophy and the Arts through both concurrent and sequential study.

Programme Objectives:
Exploration of Philosophy and the Arts: The programme highlights the enduring significance of the relationship between Philosophy and the Arts—a connection that dates back to ancient tragedy and continues to be relevant today. It goes beyond general theoretical perspectives by focusing on the interplay between Philosophy and specific artistic domains, including Theatre, Film, and Music. Additionally, the programme examines how the Arts and their theoretical discourses operate within distinct institutional and theoretical frameworks.

Public Theoretical Discourse: The programme emphasizes that public discussions on the Arts can be both engaging and enlightening. It seeks to illuminate the complex institutional relationships that define art, the ways in which artistic representations introduce innovative aesthetic practices into established roles, and the influence of aesthetics and art in shaping and redefining social distinctions and cultural norms, including the impact of gender on aesthetic perception.

Interdisciplinary Analysis: The programme also explores specific instances within this context, such as the relationship between Philosophy and Science, and Philosophy and Literature.

This programme aims to foster a deep understanding of the dynamic interplay between Philosophy and the Arts, preparing graduates to engage thoughtfully with both fields and their intersections.
