Philosophy of Humanity, Culture, and Ethics
The research group PHC&E (Philosophy of Humanity, Culture, and Ethics) specializes in modern and contemporary continental philosophy, more specifically philosophical anthropology, philosophy of culture, phenomenology, psychoanalysis, feminism and German and French (post)modern philosophy.
Driven by Tilburg University’s mission ‘Understanding Society’, philosophers of PHC&E combine ‘state-of-the-art’ fundamental research with applied research. Their – often interdisciplinary – research focuses on cultural and societal issues, such as the role of art, literature, music, and media in the formation of culture and humanity; identity, race, and gender, social media and democracy.
