THE HIGH SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES
IDENTITY
The School of Humanities is characterized by its focus on the study of man in its historical, cultural and
intercultural dimensions, as an opportunity for understanding, interpretation and development of every form of
thought, language and culture.
The encounter with the Other, in our complex society, requires a reflection of man on himself as the
protagonist of responsible choices and bearer of a cultural and historical depth that has distant origins. The
individual, committed to know and appreciate his history and his identity, has the task of building a new one that
allows him to become the leading actor of his life. Bearing this in mind it is of great importance to acquire solid
critical thinking skills and the study of the disciplines that promote a personal approach. The aim is to
enhance not only the progress but also the contrasts and difficulties through which you trace the path of culture,
promoting contact with the contemporary situation as with the past, in a path that helps to understand the present
and to become an active part of it . This is the reason for greater attention to the historicity of all disciplines and
also to their "aesthetic value", basically the sentiment of beauty they bring.
