Study Programme

The master's programme Philosophy and Economics is divided into three subject areas: Philosophy, History and Methodology of Economics; Rationality and Decision; Ethics, Welfare and Justice.

In all semesters, students attend interdisciplinary core seminars on selected themes and methods at the intersection of philosophy and economics. Next to these seminars, students deepen their subject-specific foundational knowledge and skills in philosophy and economics during their first semester. In the second semester, students acquire interdisciplinary knowledge of the three subject areas of philosophy and economics. In the third semester, students intensively study specific interdisciplinary topics and investigate potential venues of research for their master's thesis. Students can also attend elective courses from a broad range of courses offered at the University of Vienna, in philosophy, economics, and other disciplines.

In the final semester, students undertake an independent interdisciplinary research project to produce their master's thesis. Students present their ongoing research in an interdisciplinary research seminar. In this seminar, students contribute to each others research through discussion of the research presentations.

Five Concepts

which you will deal with during your studies:

  • Public Economics
  • Behavioural Economics
  • Rationality
  • History of Economic Thought

...and many more.

However, since Okt 2022, he has been Director of Studies (SPL 18) and thereby academically responsible for all the philosophy degree programmes except the doctoral programme. He also directs the FWF doc.funds project PACE and has been actively supporting the Vienna Doctoral School in Philosophy since its inception in 2020. He is on the board of Directors of the FWF Cluster of Excellence project “Knowledge in Crisis” .

The group meets irregularly to discuss ongoing research in philosophy of language. Jointly with colleagues at the CEU philosophy dept and the chair of theoretical philosophy, the group has also initiated, and continues to organise, the meetings of the VLM group , which is part of the PLM-Network. The research area also initiated the visiting speaker series WKAP, and has continued until recently to organise it conjointly with several colleagues. A new visiting speaker series in conjunction with the VDP and the new Cluster of Excellence project is being planned.

Library Guide for New Philosophy Graduate Students

  • Library Basics

Article Indexes

  • Return to HPNL Website

Ask a Librarian

From citation to source: journal articles.

If you have a citation for a journal article, and you want to obtain a copy of that article, you first need to determine whether the Library owns a copy of the journal issue. Therefore, the most important piece of information when beginning a search for a known journal article is the title of the journal, not the title of the article.

You will first check to see if we have to that journal. either online access or in print. To do that, you will search for the journal (by title) using a catalog rather plainly named "Journal Search":

This catalog should query both our print and online holdings.

If the Library does not have a copy of th journal, then you will use your complete citation to request a copy through interlibrary loan:

Interlibrary loan can usually obtain a journal article for you very quickly (much faster than for books), sometimes within one day.

Use  article databases  to find journals articles (as well as dissertations, book chapters, and other resources) on a specific topic. In some cases, you will be able to link directly from the article database to the full text of the article. In other cases, you will need to  search the   title of the journal (not the author or title of the article) in the Library Catalog , to find out where it is located.

By "article databases" we mean both bibliographic databases (databases that contain records or citations to journal articles) and online full-text journal collections. Many bibliographic databases include some full text.

There are many article databases for finding periodical articles.  These databases are often called article indexes, but they are essentially searchable bibliographies of journal articles organized by subject.

Because the Library does not subscribe to every journal, and because not all journals are digitized, and because not all digitized journals are available in a single collection, the article indexes provide the only efficient means of identifying relevant articles from across the widest possible range of periodical publications.

The main article index for philosophy is Philosophers Index:

  • Philosopher's Index Identifies journal articles, books, and book chapters on all aspects of philosophy. Indexes publications from 1902-present.

Two other sources we recommend are PhilPapers and the Oxford Bibliography of Philosophy:

  • PhilPapers Identifies articles in philosophy journals, books, websites, and other kinds of publications found on the Internet. It is also a digital repository, to which scholars can upload articles and preprints. Users can create accounts and submit content to the database. Includes calls for papers and presentations, as well as job announcements.
  • Oxford Bibliography of Philosophy Selected, annotated bibliographies, arranged by broad topic (e.g. epistemology, free will) and major philosopher. Each section includes an introductory essay written by a scholar. Part of Oxford Bibliographies Online.

If you find a citation for an article in a journal to which we do not have a subscription, you can quickly get a copy of the article (often within 24 hours) by requesting it through interlibrary loan:

  • ILLiad (Interlibrary Loan) If the item is not available in the Illinois catalog and it is not available through I-Share, then your next stop will be Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery. Login to Interlibrary Loan using your NetID and password. If you are requesting a book, then select "Request a Book". If you are requesting a journal article, then select "Request a Photocopy". Be sure to fill out as much of the form as possible. You'll be notified by email when your item is ready to be picked up. If you requested a journal article, it will probably be sent to you electronically as a PDF.

Although article databases are usually the best place to start a general search for journal articles, full text collections are of course increasingly important. Remember, however, that for the broadest search, you should use an article index, because article indexes include records for articles in journals to which we do not subscribe, but that you can quickly obtain through interlibrary loan. Full text collections only include journals to which we subscribe.

  • JSTOR The full text of over 2,800 scholarly journals, with coverage back to the first issue for each, in some cases as far back as the 17th century. Recent issues of most journals in this database are embargoed by journal publishers, so to be certain you are also identifying the most recent publications, use an article index like Historical Abstracts or America: History, and Life .
  • Project MUSE Over 600 scholarly journals, with emphasis on recent ten years of issues. Originally intended as a complement to JSTOR.
