The Philosophy of Jacques Derrida
Jacques Derrida (1930-2004) is well known in philosophy for his deconstructive way of reading and writing. Conform to the international Derrida-Research-Programs I would like to raise five topics as possible subjects for a dissertation: 1. Deconstructing the metaphysics (Platon, Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger); 2. Derrida’s philosophy of language (Saussure, Husserl, Austin, Searle); 3. Derrida’s philosophy of art (Kant, Hegel, Heidegger, new madia philosophy); 4. The ethics of deconstruction (Kant, Lévinas); 5. The politics of deconstruction (justice, democracy. hospitality, sovereignty).
Philosophy and Literary Criticism (Orbán, Jolán)
There is no literary criticism without philosophy and no philosophy without literature. A historical and systematic invrstigation of this relationship can have a great impact on our understanding of philosophy and literature. Dissertation can be written about the philosophical backround,, vocabulary, language philosophy of different theoretical schools – positivism, Geisteswissenschaften, formalism, new criticism, structuralism, poststructuralism, deconstruction, hermeneutics, feminism, new historicism, postcolonialism, cultural criticism, media studies -- as well as about the poetics, ethics and politics of different philosophers (Wittgenstein, Heidegger, Gadamer, Derrida, or from the Hungarean literature Babits Mihály, József Attila, Szabó Lőrinc, Kertész Imre, Esterházy Péter).

Law as a cultural phenomenon in the conceptual system of legal and social philosophy
The research topic, in line with the applied philosophical approach of the school, concerns the study of law conceived as a cultural phenomenon, from the perspective of legal and social philosophy.
It focuses on the assessment of legal and ethical norms that have governed the society and its autonomous communities in distinct historical periods.
A major aspect of this assessment is studying how legal folk traditions shaped the history of legal reasoning and legal culture in the context of European legal modernization. The PhD topic concerns these complex and extensive questions. While studying the relationship between law and culture, it offers an excellent opportunity to apply legal-, ethical- and social philosophical methods to evaluate the legal historical, legal culture historical and legal ethnographical impact of legal tradition.
