A distinguished task of the Hungarian Philosophy Research Group is the analysis of the history of Hungarian philosophy, history of ideas, and history of sciences in the international context, especially the comparative research of the philosophical cultures of East-Central Europe. A main feature of our researches the methodological reflexivity. An important part of our task is the research of the methodological questions of the history of philosophy in the historiography of the Hungarian and Eastern-Central European philosophies, with a glance to the relationship of the history of philosophy and other disciplines. |

The main research areas of the Research Group in the History of Ancient and Early Modern Philosophy focus on the history of ancient and early modern philosophy, as well as German idealism and its reception. Our major thematic research topics concern, on the one hand, ancient atomism, the Aristotelian tradition, Hellenistic philosophy, and late antiquity; on the other hand, they examine the history of reflexivity and the related transformation of early modern theories of the self, as well as the problem of the anthropological difference and the relationship between biological life and self-consciousness. The coherence of the group is guaranteed by raising comparative questions concerning epistemology, philosophy of mind, language, ethics, and metaphysics, as well as the philosophical role of literary forms – also with reference to medieval and renaissance philosophy. |

The Research Group for Epistemology focuses on philosophical questions concerning knowledge broadly construed and, in particular, those changes which are entailed by information technology revolution. Our research areas of high priority include collective epistemology, cognitive and digital knowledge architectures, artificial intelligence and learning theories, embodied cognition, and meta-philosophy. The interaction between epistemology and cognitive science, peculiar philosophical questions about cognition as well as its epistemic and logical means are crucial in our research, in addition, our research group intensively investigate the epistemic status of philosophical knowledge in general. The horizon of our investigations stretches beyond analytic tradition (in a strict sense) and incorporates historic, hermeneutic, and phenomenological accounts. Discussions about representationalism (a vivid tradition from the times of Descartes) provide the main ground for our ongoing studies. Our research addresses recent debates in epistemology, reconsidering their results both for the historical and the analytical traditions. Historically, there is a particular emphasis on the evolution of linguistic and other representational means and their impact on epistemological attitudes and methodologies. Lessons from our investigations pave the way towards an epistemological theory for science and the humanities. |

One of the two research fields of the group addresses questions of the philosophy of religion, including the philosophical doctrines concerning the proof of God; the general history of the Christian philosophy of religion; research of the works of main philosophers of religion; Christian Democratic movements in Hungary as well as in Europe; and the study on the history of religions. The other research project of the group focuses on modern and contemporary hermeneutical thought. From a systematic point of view, we examine the underlying measurement approaches applied in the interpretation of the world and of texts. Furthermore, we study the philosophy of Kant, Nietzsche, Heidegger and Gadamer from a historical perspective. |
