3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession

According to the Humanities and Social Studies Curriculum, History of Philosophy is a basic semester subject taught in the 1st Course.

The subject aims to study the main philosophical currents from their origins in ancient Greece to the end of modern times. A special emphasis is placed on the lines of continuity of the different expressions of said thought and on what were its most characteristic features. This development referred to is inserted within the framework of the different traditions of western thought. However, it is also intended to establish a comparison with other types of non-Western philosophies. The student should become familiar with the most relevant and influential ideas of the philosophers who lived in ancient, medieval and modern times, and therefore with the problems that were addressed in them, from different perspectives and perspectives; also, with the answers that were given, bearing in mind the successive historical, social and cultural contexts.

The area of ¿¿knowledge of Philosophy is represented in the Degree Study Plan through the following subjects:

- History of Philosophy (basic training, 1st Course).

- History of Ethical and Political Thought (compulsory, 3rd Course).

- Current Currents of thought (optional, 4th Cycle).

- Logic of argumentation (optional, 4th Cycle).

Taking into account its eminently historical character, History of Philosophy is integrated, first of all, into the proper scope of the others that the Area of ¿¿History imparts, that is, those corresponding to the ancient, medieval and modern eras. With this it is intended that the student obtain as complete a perspective as possible of the cultures that developed in each one of them. Secondly, its location, in the 1st Course, serves as a general introduction to the other subjects of the Philosophy Area, having to be complemented, on the one hand, with the one that offers a specific treatment of practical philosophy (History of Ethical and Political Thought ) and with which they develop the philosophical approaches limited to the contemporary era (Current Currents of thought and Logic of argumentation).

From a professional point of view, the subject offers competencies that are necessary for the future insertion of the student in work fields, such as teaching Human and Social Sciences in public or private centers of Compulsory Secondary Education and Baccalaureate, or at the University . Likewise, it is fundamental in the promotion of various socio-cultural activities and in the performance of public functions, where Philosophy as a whole plays a structuring character.
