The desire to understand what, after all, it is up to philosophy to accomplish and, as a consequence, what role is reserved for the philosopher, in the game of life and knowledge, although quite old (in the Phaedo, Plato had already to define what a philosopher is supposed to do), having received a lot of attention throughout the 20th century, continues to be very current. So, in this exhibition, we will also deal with that, however, making a cut, the African continent. Thus, our main objective here is to discuss philosophical praxis, based on the principle that this type of intellectual, despite its own connections with the theoretical environment, is inseparable from the concrete life experienced by man in his daily life. In this debate, we will dialogue with African thinkers (such as Kwasi Wiredu who highlights the importance of philosophical knowledge for the modernization of Africa) and Western thinkers. |
