The Centre for Ethics as Study in Human Value and the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, University of Pardubice, welcome applications to our tuition-free Master’s Programme in Ethics and Political Philosophy.
Important Dates:
This afternoon, January 26, 2026, our MA student Mohammad Ali Pour successfully defended his thesis, "Nietzsche's Will to Power as the Principle of Revaluation: Toward a Power-Centred Ethics"! In a nuanced discussion with his opponent, Niklas Forsberg, Mohammad showed the strengths of his interpretation of this concept and how it can illuminate agency, creativity, and evaluation while honouring other aspects of Nietzsche's thought such as perspectivism. This thesis was supervised by Antony Fredriksson. Congratulations, we wish Mohammad success in his future endeavours!
