Erasmus Mundus Scholarships: Master Mundus German and French Philosophy in the European Context

Duration in months: 24 months

The Master Mundus Program «German and French Philosophy in the European Context» (EuroPhilosophie) offers to the best students worldwide a specialized advanced course of study of two years in the fields of German and French philosophy and their interaction in Europe’s intellectual and cultural space.

Each year thirteen students from outside the European Union are offered stipends of 21.000 Euros to participate in the Program, and thirteen students from the European Union receive financial support for study abroad by the Erasmus Program.

Over the course of two years, the students chosen for the Master Mundus EuroPhilo spent one or two semesters at a total of three of the seven European universities that form the consortium of the Master Mundus Program EuroPhilo.
The students then write a research thesis under the direction of a researcher-teacher of the university at which they spend the final two semesters of their work in the program.
Students receive 60 credit points (ECTS) for each of the two years of study.

After the successful final examination, each student is awarded European Master’s diplomas from three participating universities.

At the beginning of each academic year the Master Mundus «German and French Philosophy in the European Context» gathers all its students for an orientation seminar at the University of Luxembourg. The academic supervision and the course work of the students enrolled in the Master Mundus EuroPhilo is provided by selected faculty with international standing in their specialties.
The Program Master Mundus EuroPhilo is made up of a core of survey courses and research seminars that are already in operation at the universities of the consortium and that have been recognized for their quality. In addition, special seminars are organized by each participating university to assure the breadth and depth of the curriculum of the Master Mundus EuroPhilo.
The three thematic axes of the Master Mundus EuroPhilosophie are:
1. classical German philosophy from Kant through German idealism (Fichte, Schelling, Hegel)to Marx, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche
2. contemporary French philosophy from Biran to Bergson, Foucault and Deleuze

Philosophies allemande et française dans l’espace européen
Duration in months: 24 months

Course description:
Le master erasmus mundus “Philosophies allemande et française dans l’espace européen” a pour objectif d’offrir une formation de haut niveau à la recherche en histoire de la philosophie allemande et française et de faire émerger une communauté mondiale de chercheurs spécialisés dans la connaissance et l’étude de l’apport spécifique des philosophies allemande et française à la culture
européenne et mondiale. Son originalité est d’aborder l’histoire et l’actualité des philosophies allemandes et françaises du point de vue de l’échange vivant qui a été et qui demeure le leur.

Il dispense dans cette perspective une formation de haut niveau tant en philosophie allemande (de Kant à Marx, Husserl, Heidegger et Habermas) qu’en philosophie française (de Maine de Biran à Bergson, Foucault et Deleuze). Cette interaction franco-allemande est au centre de l’enseignement offert par les universités du consortium et est comprise comme un facteur essentiel de l’identité philosophique européenne moderne et contemporaine.

Le master mundus “philosophies allemande et française dans l’espace européen” fondé sur la coopération scientifique et éditoriale menée de longue date entre les différents enseignants-chercheurs et centres de recherches des universités du consortium propose d’initier les futurs chercheurs en philosophie et histoire de la philosophie à des stratégies de recherche internationales mettant en jeu la diversité des approches et des enjeux interprétatifs notamment en matière de philosophie appliquée. La formation dispensée se veut en cette mesure une véritable école de philosophie contemporaine orientée vers les questions les plus actuelles depuis leur ancrage dans l’histoire de la pensée.
