\"s200_piotr.zygulski\"<\/a>Piotr, what made you choose to enroll in Sophia?<\/strong> Many factors are involved. During high school I had the fortune to meet a philosopher from Turin by the name of Costanzo Preve, who introduced me to philosophical studies, an interest that arose from the attraction I felt for politics. His Hegelian-Marxist philosophical approach opened my eyes to social totality which likewise made the choice of my university studies very challenging; I could not make up my mind between economics, politics and philosophy. Towards the end of high school, a professor spoke to me about Sophia, even though it offered only Master\u2019s courses. Finally, in order to have a diploma that would give me more job possibilities, I chose the three-year degree in economics in Genoa. But this choice was not really satisfactory\u2026 <\/strong> My dissatisfaction with the \u201cmainstream\u201d syllabus plans of many courses made me join the\u00a0 international network called \u201cRethinking Economics<\/strong><\/a>\u201d to promote economic, methodological and interdisciplinary pluralism in the university methods of teaching economics, and the founding of a\u00a0 local seat for the network. Concurrently, and in an independent way, I continued my musical and philosophical studies. Besides, I had become a journalist and am part of the editorial staff of the paper \u201cTermometro Politico\u201d (Political Thermometre) and for some months now, direct the ecclesial debate magazine \u00a0Grandsons of Maritain<\/strong><\/a>. In short, along the years I had read some essays of the Rector Piero Coda and had asked him if I could visit Sophia. I came twice, before enrolling. And every time my \u201cSophian\u201d vocation became increasingly evident. What\u00a0 course have you decided to undertake and how have the first months in Sophia been? <\/strong> I chosen Trinitarian ontology, also because it gives me the chance to benefit from the agreement with Perugia University<\/strong><\/a> for the dual diploma, so as to achieve, besides that of the Vatican, also an Italian Master\u2019s \u00a0in philosophy specializing in didactics, which will, in the future give me the chance to teach in high schools.\u00a0 In these first months almost all of us have attended the same courses in philosophy, theology, politics and economics, which will enable us to start our studies\u00a0 on a common basis. \u00a0This interdisciplinarity in my case, was not at all a surprise, but a conscious choice. From the academic viewpoint,\u00a0 Sophia\u2019s level is very high and has given me the chance to deepen the course themes I am personally interested in. At the end of August I started to live in the residence, exactly two floors above the university facilities, together with 9 boys of all continents \u2013 from Argentina to China, \u00a0from Germany to Tanzania, and across countries like the Lebanon. It is an excellent coexistence, well organized even in the housework: I immediately felt that we are brothers, in our little daily concerns. How about your projects? <\/strong> I can\u2019t say much about this, since at this moment, new paths are opening out before me; the medium-term objective is to obtain my degree, but for my thesis I am considering various themes, and as oftentimes occurs, probably none of these will be the definitive one.\u00a0 Later, I may consider \u00a0a Doctorate, but time will tell. I would like however to carry on with my journalistic activities, and, from the employment point of view, I would not really mind teaching, or find a job in the publishing sector. I don\u2019t really want to set any limits to the Spirit who could inspire me to take other paths.   Source:<\/strong> IUS online<\/a>  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
