A Jesuit University
The Munich School of Philosophy - A Jesuit undertaking
The Jesuits offer a forum for discussion and debate about the central issues of our time. Their resolve is to adhere to a culture of reason, in which faith and theology can be renewed by critical questioning, and invigorated by constructive confrontation with differing views. The Jesuits are confident that the challenges of today can still best be encountered by an appeal to reason.
The internationality of the Jesuit order is reflected by the composition of the faculty, the perspectives of visiting professors, and the national origin of the students.
