Maestría en Filosofía

The M.A. in Philosophy program aims to give students a solid graduate-level knowledge of Philosophy by emphasizing the narrative character of philosophy, i.e., the idea that philosophy has a ‘story’ that continuously evolves mirrors the human person’s ongoing search for meaning. This narrative character of philosophy is particularly “catholic” in the true meaning of the word, i.e., capable of being open to truth in all its manifestations, embracing it in a way that synthesizes al that is true, good, and noble in what the tradition has passed on to us while also pushing this legacy forward to bring about something genuine “novel.”

At the heart of seminary formation is not an idea, purpose, aspiration, or plan, no matter how lofty or noble. At the heart of formation is a person, and His name is Jesus.

He is at the center of everything a seminarian does, everything a seminarian is, everything a seminarian aspires to become. At the heart of formation at St. John Vianney is something straightforward: putting Jesus at the center of everything we do, everything that we are, everything we would like to be; all else is secondary.
