About PPGFil

The Postgraduate Program in Philosophy (PPGFIL), located at the Palmas Campus, aims to prepare teachers for higher education, train and qualify high-level researchers and professionals to work in sectors related to the area of Philosophy from a systemic, plural and critical perspective.

PPGFil professors have training trajectories in different areas of knowledge (Philosophy, Ethics, Political Philosophy, Ontology, Knowledge and Languages), which contributes to a diverse and plural view of the issues that permeate Philosophy.

Permanent faculty members belong to the boards of various undergraduate programs, which allows for integrated activities with the faculty and students of these programs, particularly in research centers and projects. We also have faculty from other higher education institutions in Brazil and abroad who collaborate on research in this area.

Through agreements, exchange programs, and the exchange of experiences with faculty and researchers from other national and international institutions, the Program maintains ongoing contact with diverse realities, which complements and helps expand research, teaching, and outreach activities on issues related to Philosophy.

The PPGFIL has distinguished itself in interdisciplinary research agendas related to Philosophy. The diverse training of its faculty and students has enabled the production of knowledge in topics of great relevance to Philosophy, such as Ontology, Knowledge, and Languages; Ethics; and Political Philosophy. This has been reflected in the development of several research projects with academic recognition and funding.
