Laboratories

The four different Laboratories which constitute the institute follow the common goal defined in the thematic line in different areas of study, each with its specific preferred research strategy. The applications and dissemination activities of the laboratories are discussed, coordinated, and managed in the Dissemination interface.

• ARGLAB pursues the development and application of philosophical theories in argumentation theory and pragmatics to empirical areas (education, environmental, medical, legal, and political communication),
• EPLAB pursues the development and application of traditional philosophical approaches to social practices and problems, such as the nature of normativity in ethics and politics.
• CINELAB pursues the application of philosophical theories to cultural practice, more specifically through work on cinema and philosophy.
• CULTURELAB pursues the development of traditional philosophical approaches to show the relationships with other theoretical areas such as literature and the arts.
• The outreach of the theoretical developments and more specifically the intervention on practices crucial for society (such as education, health services, public deliberation, and cultural activities) is pursued by the DISSEMINATION INTERFACE.
