Doctoral school: “European Cultures. Environment, Contexts, Histories, Arts, Ideas”

The primary objective of the doctorate in ‘European Cultures: Environment, Contexts, Histories, Arts, Ideas’ is leading-edge expertise in the areas of philosophical studies, historical studies and cultural heritage within the framework of European civilization. Participants will hone their methodological and interdisciplinary skills in order to work creatively and autonomously within the research interests of the department. The range and depth of the disciplines offered by the doctorate will equip participants for highly-qualified positions pertaining to (i) research in public institutions and private sectors, and (ii) work in the domains of communications, publishing, and management of museums, libraries, archives and think tanks..

More specifically there are three different curricula

  • Philosophy
    The object of analysis concerns the origins – ancient, medieval and modern – of European philosophical thought, considered along a number of axes: logical-linguistic, ethical-practical-educational, technical-scientific and aesthetic. Focus will also be placed on the diverse religions of Europe as constitutive elements of the heritage common to the diverse range of European identities.
  • Cultural Heritage
    The primary objective is to analyse Europe as a geographical and environmental space and its associated multi-faceted cultural heritage, though products of archaeology, art, music, entertainment and documentation.
  • History
    Central to the course will be the formation and development of European identities within a comparative perspective, from Greek and Roman civilisation up to the present day. Particular attention will be devoted to (i) the historical and historiographical relationship with the German-speaking world, (ii) the building of tradition and of historical memory, (iii) the evolution of administrative structures and of the government of European territories.
