The PhD in Humanities: History, Philosophy and Aesthetics of the Universidad Francisco de Vitoria aims Study the Humanities as an approach to the root, soul and key to understanding Western Civilization, in three fields: History and Society, Philosophy (especially in the fields of Anthropology and Education) and Aesthetics.

The field of History is studied as a field of realizations and conflict of the values of Unity, Goodness, Truth and Beauty in Society, the Anthropology as an inquiry into the image of the person, its place in existence and its implications in  education and, finally,  Aesthetics as a synthesis of Imagination, Truth and Reason and as an expression and commotion of Art, Literature, Ideas and Religion.

The program is developed within the framework of an academic community that understands the research and the formation in the Humanities not as a rationalist speculation nor as a titanic exercise of the will, much less as an aesthetic amusement, but as a sapiential path in which  understanding,  freedom and the heartare harmonized and mutually implied. In this way, the research carried out in the fields of Literature, History and Art, Philosophy and Religion are sustained by a love for Truth, Good and Beauty, in an intellectual and vital restlessness that wonders about the being of things, their meaning and their value, that seeks to discover the link between diverse realities and human existence, that is capable of creatively connecting theory with praxis, that is open to dialogue and to the encounter with others to discover and show that “Man is the measure of all things”, and in what sense and to what extent.
