The group covers, secondly, philosophy and theory of culture, ranging from classical philosophical positions, again in the European-continental tradition, to sociological, ethnological and cultural-theoretical positions. “Culture” here has a broad meaning including contemporary forms of culture.

The managerial duties also include taking up the task of Head of Department. More in general the candidate is expected to take an active role in the whole spectrum of activities of the Department of Philosophy, ranging from teaching and research to administration and academic as well public debates.
