From the start and throughout history, philosophy has played a key role in the early stages of most of the sciencies. Being a philosopher is not a regulated profession. The employment destination of graduates was traditionally teaching in secondary education and teaching and research in higher education. Currently, career opportunities have diversified so that, in addition to teaching, philosophers pursue professional activities in many different fields.

    From the start and throughout history, philosophy has played a key role in the early stages (both in the formulation and formation) of most of the sciences, from natural to social or human sciences. A lot of knowledge began as philosophical and later became scientific. Equally remarkable is the contribution of philosophy to art, literature and other expressions of culture.
