Profile
.The doctorate in Philosophy is aimed at professionals in philosophy and professionals from any other area of knowledge. It is understood that knowledge and philosophical dialogue is not a monopoly of those who have previously had a background in the area, as philosophical debates are enriched when participants from multiple disciplines are held. This is why the doctorate is designed for every professional who wants to develop, at a postgraduate level, his critical and reflective thinking, applied to local, regional, national and global problems of political philosophy and law, philosophy and literature and technological civilization. Of course, any aspiring philosopher of training or not is expected to have the knowledge and philosophical skills needed for a doctorate program in philosophy. This will be especially evaluated in the resume, knowledge exam and interview.
