DEPARTAMENTO DE FILOSOFÍA FFYL-UBA is the philosophy department of the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters at the University of Buenos Aires, dedicated to rigorous teaching, critical research, and public engagement in philosophical thought. Rooted in a tradition of scholarly excellence and social relevance, it cultivates analytical depth and interdisciplinary dialogue across ethics, political theory, epistemology, and Latin American philosophical currents, preparing students and researchers to address contemporary intellectual and civic challenges. Through seminars, publications, and community programs, the department fosters reflective citizens and informed scholarship that connect academic inquiry with broader societal debates.

Grounded in intellectual rigor, academic freedom, and civic responsibility, the department values careful argumentation, openness to diverse perspectives, and the ethical implications of ideas in public life. We commit to inclusivity—honoring local and global philosophical traditions—mentorship that fosters critical independence, and public outreach that brings philosophy into conversation with pressing social issues; these principles guide our curricula, research priorities, and collaborations, ensuring scholarship that is both rigorous and socially engaged.
