Course contents:

Philosophy, that is, issues and questions passed on in European Philosophic though are covered in issues and historically. The first approach is represented by in the issue of the beginnings of philosophy (experience, wonder, movement, conditions), issues in differentiating philosophy from other human attempts at understanding the world, society and oneself (philosophy and science, philosophy and art, philosophy and religion, philosophy and ideology). Traditional philosophical issues such as questions of being (potential and fruition, essence and being, causality and theology, issues of transcendentiality, reincarnation philosophies, etc.). Issues of knowledge (philosophy of the id, sense and sensibility, empirialism and rationalism, structure of knowledge, knowledge and language, logic, issues of truth) and others, such as philosophical anthropology (man as a phenomenon, historicity, gregarity, body, spirit and soul issues) and ethics (free will, conscience, normative problems, social ethics, philosophy of law).

The second - historical - approach is represented in an overview of the history of European thought, that is, asking questions of history and investigating answers to them as represented by important figures, schools and currents (see curriculum and syllabus).

Emphasis is placed on the parallels of the history of philosophy and the histories of art and culture with particular consideration of the history of music.
