Philosophy of religion is a fundamental direction of the centre, oriented towards understanding the religious phenomenon and its relations with philosophical thought. The research covers both the historico-systematic dimension (the philosophy of religion in the philosophical tradition) and the contemporary themes of religion’s presence in the public sphere.
