Is the increasing polarization of modern society the product of rational thinking? To what extent should science be led by citizens? Do vaccine passports discriminate against the unvaccinated? How does state-funded communal memory (e.g. of public statues) shape our understanding of what’s acceptable in society? These are philosophical questions whose answers have a direct bearing on how we should proceed in meeting the challenges of our age.

The Rector’s Office of the University of Tartu has decided that the university continues face-to-face teaching in spring semester 2021/22. To be able to meet in classrooms and avoid major viral outbreaks, it is still important to get vaccinated, stay home when ill and postpone large events.

Doctoral theses currently under supervision in the Department of Philosophy

In 2022, teaching and studies continue according to the principles agreed upon at the beginning of the academic year.

The Department of Semiotics at the University of Tartu is one of the most important centers of semiotics in Europe, with deep roots in cultural semiotics and biosemiotics.
