The Ferrater Mora Chair of Contemporary Thought has the basic objective of organizing contemporary courses of thought led by eminent thinkers of internationally renowned prestige. It is a chair of thought - not strictly philosophy - because it is open to the interdisciplinary teaching of personalities from different fields, philosophy as well as science and all kinds of arts, formal, experimental, historical and human. It is also a chair of contemporary thought in a very strict sense, because invited professors set out the main lines of their own thinking. The first lesson session was led by Professor Josep Ferrater Mora in November 1989.
