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.

Europe - 2008 / 2009 Erasmus Mundus Scholarships: International Masters in Economy, State & Society (IMESS)

Erasmus Mundus Scholarships - IMESS: International Masters in Economy, State and Society

Duration in months: 24 months

Course description:
Building on the existing strengths of six leading European universities, this Masters programme in Economy, State & Society situates the study of the emerging economies and societies of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) in a global context. The multidisciplinary, language-based programme is organised along four tracks:

• Economics and Business
• Politics and Security
• Nation and Society
• History and Culture

The states of CEE have undergone far-reaching political, economic and social change since 1989, culminating in the 2004 and 2007 European Union enlargements. Understanding the comparative economic advantages of the CEE states, their relationship with the EU border states, the importance of migration flows, health and security for the wider region as well as the obstacles faced in developing a truly knowledge-based economy are essential both for the European and the global community. This MA will raise the global expertise in this area by addressing these key issues in the context of the region’s economies, states and societies.
