French philosophy has been an important influence on the intellectual world. Great philosophers such as René Descartes, Voltaire, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and more recently, Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida, are just some of the thinkers who have contributed to France's rich philosophical tradition. Therefore, for philosophy professionals, learning French can be a valuable tool to further your studies and research. The "French for Philosophy Professionals" course aims to provide these professionals with the linguistic and cultural skills necessary to understand and appreciate French philosophy in its original language.

Students will have the opportunity to read and discuss texts by important French philosophers, thus improving their reading and comprehension skills in French. Additionally, they will also learn about the historical and cultural context in which these philosophers worked, which will allow them a deeper understanding of their ideas and arguments.
One of the main advantages of learning French for philosophy professionals is the ability to access and understand a wide range of philosophical texts in their original language. This will not only enrich their understanding of these texts, but will also allow them to participate in academic debates in French and collaborate with other researchers working in French.
