Professionals who are thus qualified will have the capacity to develop critical reflection and the competentce to solve the most demanding philosophical questions, to publish them in the form of scholarly articles or monographs and to conduct research projects. Moreover, the production processes for and application of knowledge, among which specific philosophical knowledge, capabilities, and skills are not only wanted but inevitable, have become more and more diverse.
