The course is an introduction of elemental symbolic logic study. It is targeted at students from all careers and does not require any prior particular knowledge. The starting point is the study of the logic structure of propositions and arguments in Spanish. Once appropriate understanding of basic concepts is achieved, formal elements are introduced. Propositional logic is presented in an accessible, but also strict manner. The most important notions are given a formal definition and an informal explanation, and are illustrated with multiple examples and various exercises. At the end of the course, predicate logic is introduced, which is the basis for the Logics 2 course.

The course will be focused on one of the most important results or hypotheses of Plato´s philosophy: the theory of ideas. First, a dialog will be studied "temprano" Menón, where such theory is not yet exposed, but which offers a series of elements that allow justifying its formulation and a theoretical device (the doctrine of reminiscence) which will later be integrated therein. Then, it will continue with one of the most read and commented texts of the philosopher: the Fedon. In this dialog, the theory of the ideas is actually exposed, in its most general and problematic version. The course will be concluded with a dialog where these problematic aspects precisely constitute the driving thread: the Parmenides.

The course intends to introduce students to Descartes´ Doctrine, as it represents the philosophical birth certificate of Modernity. This Doctrine provides for almost all the greatest philosophical problems, in germinal stage, that were object of discussion ever since. Descartes´ Doctrine is one of the most remarkable efforts to protect the fundamental theses from the medieval outlook: God´s existence and immortality of the soul. Descartes thus became the last medieval thinker and the first modern philosopher.

The course is based on some sections of the third and fourth books of the Vasishta Yoga, one of the classic texts of the advait tradition, which is impossible to access through the text exegesis philosophical manner. The text itself suggests means of access that are not merely rational, but which are supported on intuition and on experience itself. Its peculiar style filled with metaphors, resemblances, narratives and the constant revisiting of the same issues from different perspectives will undoubtedly provide us with a new way of seeing and conceiving the world. Likewise, the course seeks to clarify notions such as Brahman, Maya, Ahamkara, Moksha, Atman, Jiva, karma, samsara, vasanas, atmavidya, prana, chakras.

Both secularization and pluralism in modern day society have led to death being an ever less discussed phenomenon. In past times, the discourse about death was an almost exclusive domain of religion, but with the loss of value in society of what was once traditionally religious, and the paramount status of other discourses (medical discourse, scientific approach, Esotericism, and the pseudo-scientific discourse of Self-improvement) death has come to be one of the great taboos of our time. This course pretends to retake the subject from an interdisciplinary perspective. Although the more prominent approaches will be those of philosophy and psychology (this course is offered by both departments), historical, anthropological and sociological approaches will also be discussed. Some of the general problems the course tries to address are: the historically recognized attitudes towards death in the West, the philosophical debate regarding the relationship between death, morality and happiness, actual individual attitudes, as well as beliefs and social prejudices towards death (subject of Social psychology), and the suffering which necessarily implies one’s own death or that of loved ones (Clinical psychology).

This course is a continuation of Logic I. The core subject matter refers to the logics of predicates, some semantic and syntactic testing methods, such as the Tree of Truth and natural deduction. Similarly, the course dwells on one of the most important extension of the classical logic: the modal logic, given its complexity only propositional modal logic will be studied.

The course intends to introduce students to Kant´s philosophy through the overview of its thoughts and a selective and careful reading of the Critique of Pure Reason. It is worth recalling that Kant´s philosophy not only constitutes the place where the main philosophical problems suggested by the modern periods merge, but it also sets most of the path that must be followed by philosophy up to these days.

According to Hegel, philosophy is about the absolute knowledge, which is not the starting but the final point of the human experience. The Phenomenology of the spirit is concerned with the different shapes consciousness adopts on that path. The course will be focused on the first two stages of the evolution of knowledge, and it will become the venue to discuss the questions brought forward in the first reading of the text.

The course provides an approach to the philosophical and social dimension of Marx´s thought, based on some of his most relevant works, thus approaching to main notions, such as citizenship, emancipation, freedom, society criticism, alienation, nature, individual and society, ideology, history, materialism, idealism, work, value, goods, fetishism and its influence on contemporaneous reflection. Likewise, the course seeks to study contemporaneous readings of the Marxist economic, political, social and philosophical legacy, and how to establish relations and differences with other modern thought traditions, such as liberalism, communitarism, hermeneutics, Frankfurt School, neoliberalism, among others.

By studying some of Nietzsche’s texts, the aim is to introduce the student into one of the most important thoughts of the coeval world, him being the philosopher who stands up to the Western philosophical tradition at the level of the development of its own knowledge. With Nietzsche, a doubt comes into play into the way the West has posed and built its knowledge, apparently free of all suspicion. The course will mainly deal with the text Thus Spoke Zarathustra. The book itself represents something completely new. The skillful classical text interpreter, who knows well how much sense can be made of every detail in them, attempts by himself to write a classic. And, from the beginning, he fills it with the equivocality with which classics come to be throughout the centuries.

This course will focus on Heidegger´s Capital Work,Being and Time. A limit to heideggerian´s suggestion vis-á-vis the French existentialism, together with the classification of the 20s in the German academic philosophy (the influence of Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Husserl, Scheler, Weber and Jaspers) will serve as introduction to the new approach of human existence with respect to the restitution of the question of being.
