This master's degree has been awarded the new distinction as an International Master's Programme (IMP) by the Government of Catalonia. The master's degree in Analytic Philosophy is aimed mainly at those who wish to delve more deeply into advanced research of theoretical and practical philosophical questions based on the perspective of Analytic Philosophy. The programme is open to graduates of Philosophy still unfamiliar with the tenets and methods of analytical philosophy, but also with degrees in other subjects; in the latter case, they will have to take a maximum of 30 credits in bridging courses. Analytic Philosophy originates from late 19th and early 20th century works by authors like Frege, Russell, Moore and Wittgenstein on logic, language, ontology, epistemology and ethics. The analytic tradition is currently predominant in most Anglo-Saxon universities. In our country Analytic Philosophy has a relatively minor presence in universities and the mass media; however, the groups at four Catalan universities that offer this master's degree (mainly taught in English) have carried out considerable research activity in recent years, partly thanks to the ICREA and Ramón y Cajal programmes, which have allowed the incorporation of renowned professionals previously employed by foreign universities.
