Instituto de Filosofía, Ejército 260, Santiago
Room 102
Because philosophy is not the mere possession of knowledge, but its search or philos (i.e. its desire or peculiar way of relating to knowledge), it has many different forms and dimensions.
It can be a peculiar relation to knowledge, a reflection on its foundations, a methodology to investigate these foundations or the very experience entailed by the putting into question of the validity of knowledge.
Practicing philosophy, one experiences either aporia or certainty, skepticism or the exigency to embody or act according to a revised form of knowing.
This seminar aims at questioning these different forms of understanding philosophy and at describing what « doing » philosophy means or entails.
What are the social, political, existential effects of engaging in philosophical inquiry? How does this search or desire (the philein of philosophy) transform subjects or interfere in the institutions that make possible these inquiries and desires?
