Critical questioning to Philosophical Anthropology. List of notes and issues about alternative writings

Abstract

We propose to discuss the nature of the Philosophical Anthropology field, its current developments and the issues arisen in the practice of academic discipline. Which are the omitted issues, the enunciation and argumentation modes, the historical-political themes from which the PA future development emerges? On the other hand, we seek to face traditional writing modalities and introduce new possibilities from essays, manifesto practices and re-writings of history. The philosophical task has a long history of starting and restarting, and it can be read in different ways. From each philosophical position, different ideologies, values, subjectiveness, bodies, time periods showing problems and concepts, maps and territories can be read. This means that philosophical texts have marks, wounds, fissures, cracks, gestures and silences. A traditional definition says that philosophy can be divided into theory and practice. This classification criterion includes not only the object of interest, but also the philosophical problems and questions that it seeks to answer. We are interested in pointing out that this division is an effective way of organizing philosophical knowledge and that it determines philosophical questions, writings and viewpoints, legitimating textuality and argumentation for each one. In this sense, our thinking covers the awareness that PA is introduced in the area of philosophical practice which, without turning the theoretical dimension back, considers that the concern for historical experiences and political subjectivity mode place it in the interstitial, non-dissociative axis between theory and action.
