I received some comments about the fact that in this blog do not talk enough about philosophy. The truth is that at any time or place has been said that this is the main theme of this website. The intentions and objectives of the blog are clearly stated in the heading text that appears above under the title, and, in my opinion, so far its contents have remained faithful to this approach.
The author of this blog is a secondary school teacher who teaches the courses for specialty Philosophy. I understand it is that fact which has been lead to confusion. In the same way that other people have made the error of considering it a "blog school." Either one or another of the misunderstandings come from focusing respectively on each of the terms of the category "teacher of philosophy." However, some things can be clarified if, instead of serve them separately, we consider , and its combination to understand what they really do (but worth pointing out that what is going to say here is applicable to this professor of philosophy, without pretending to be extended to other).
The truth is that in my daily work with my students speak poorly of philosophy. By way of example, I mention only two of the issues that concerned me at the moment in the classroom: the responsible consumption and consumer rights on the one hand, and the phenomenon of culture from the perspective of social anthropology, on the other. And the truth also is that the philosophy of "pure" is an area that increasingly interests me less. In fact, most of my personal readings, issues reflection and research projects are not strictly philosophical.
thing that interests me and what I think mainly, both inside and outside the classroom, not so much a philosophy as content ( also) as rather a philosophy and attitude and action. And in fact I've always been convinced that this is what led me to a certain point in my life, deciding to devote to this discipline (something of which I have never regretted, although it seems lie.) I am referring to a way of dealing with the knowledge of reality, and therefore how to live within that reality, which is characterized by a holistic, reflective and critical (and, of course, self). Some features that other disciplines, for its methodology and areas of interest, do not possess the extreme degree that they are presented in philosophy. The philosophy teaches us, as no other know, to think. And, thus, contributes to a valuable personal growth. Hence also my particular interests in recent times, which mediate the contents of this blog: opposition to the irrational as a mechanism of knowledge course world, critical thinking, practical problems of social and political order that the city should address from a free-thinking, ...
I have no particular interest in my students, and by extension, any person with whom to share the little I know, know the Kantian table of categories or understand the phenomenological method Husserl (things that are not more, on the other hand) is mainly what I want to think, and think well, something much less common than we think. Think about it.
... although some will cost much.
