"I particularly enjoyed the course, as I have always liked the topics covered and have read and studied a lot about them, especially everything related to philosophy. Professionally, it helped me complement my vision of the issues (I am a lawyer) and, as a result, to broaden and give greater support to my legal criteria. In addition, it led me to get to meet the professors of the faculty, who in addition to being brilliant professors, are also great and talented people.

"The graduate course has given me a broader perspective and a general, but very precise, understanding of the thought of great philosophers throughout history, which allows me to analyze, venture and revitalize the great questions of being, which are still valid today. As an academic, this is of great importance, given that in a world where access to technology abounds, it generates an influence that without the right guidance can confuse our students, so that this specialty, in addition to knowledge, renews the models of thought that make the intellectual exercise more vigorous".
