Philosophy Unit
The staff includes academics with diverse research specialisations: from the history of philosophy, ethics and the political philosophy to the philosophy of language, logic and the methodology of science. Cooperative surveys were carried out in search of the unified interpretative principle for a variety of philosophical issues - first within the in-house research scheme, then under the statutory research programme. In the 1990s studies concentrated on the philosophical idea of rationality. In the first decades of 21st century - on moral issues (including business ethics) and the phenomenon of intersubjectivity. Current research interests, pursued within individual projects, focus on topics at the intersection of philosophy and political science, including: political theory, feminism, argumentation, disinformation and propaganda.
