Activities
A language is a living phenomenon. It is spoken in everyday life and cannot be learned exclusively from books. That's why the German Unit offers its students, members and other interested parties a wide range of activities. Please feel free to visit the various sections to learn more about these different activities.

Research
Reflecting on major contemporary issues
As an extension of the department's teaching and supervisory missions, research plays an important role. This feeds directly into the department's teaching, and more particularly into third-year courses and seminars.
Research organization
It aims to mobilize the tools of the philosophical tradition in the service of an understanding of major contemporary issues: philosophies of existence, ecological upheavals, relationship to the future, common goods, crisis of democracy... It is organized around two research centers: "Arcadie. Anthropocene, History, Utopias""Centre Universitaire Notre-Dame de la Paix",both integrated into the Institut Esphin (Espace philosophique de Namur). Students benefit directly from research activities organized by the department, notably through the "Participation in research activities in philosophy" course, which is to be validated each of the three years of the bachelor's degree. It enables them to attend conferences, actively participate in certain seminars or work in certain courses on the work of the most contemporary great thinkers.
PhD
The completion of a doctorate in philosophy involves doctoral training, the modalities of which are set out in UNamur's doctoral regulations.

Christophe Flament
Sébastien Laoureux
Philosophy Department
In the Western tradition, philosophy represents a radical effort to understand reality. Philosophy casts an astonished, questioning gaze on the world around it and on mankind. The philosopher rejects the easy "obvious" and asks why things are the way they are. Rather than a discipline juxtaposed with others, philosophy as a critical approach thus constitutes an attitude and a spirit that apply in all registers, particularly intellectual, of human activity.
