It aims to equip master's graduates seeking to advance in social sciences with the ability to address historical philosophical issues of the region using scientific methods and research. The program attracts not only those who have completed undergraduate and master's education in philosophy, but also graduates from related fields such as sociology, psychology, linguistics, religion and cultural studies, history, and literature, reflecting philosophy's interdisciplinary nature.

The program aims to provide doctoral students with the pursuit of truth and self-awareness, reconnecting with ethical responsibility. It also aims to enhance expertise for students who completed their master's degree at other universities, preparing them for national and international academic careers.
