¿ES RETIRAR LA FILOSOFÍA DE LAS ESCUELAS UN ACTO DE INJUSTICIA EPISTÉMICA? (Spanish)

IS ELIMINATING PHILOSOPHY FROM SCHOOLS AN ACT OF EPISTEMIC INJUSTICE? (English)

The always latent possibility of seeing philosophy abandon schools is reviewed in this text by use of the analytical categories proposed by the theory of epistemic injustice. According to this theory, the limitations, in terms of silence or lack of recognition, to which certain individuals are subjected when they are considered unworthy as members of an epistemic community, represent a silencing of their epistemic agency. This perspective not only allows to consider a new dimension of the issue of the presence of philosophy in school curricula, but also to formulate proposals so that its teaching helps to overcome some of the injustices that the very teaching of philosophy has helped to make invisible.

Esta perspectiva no solo permite considerar una nueva dimensión del asunto de la presencia de la filosofía en los planes de estudio escolares, sino también formular propuestas para que la enseñanza de la filosofía ayude a superar algunas de las injusticias que ella misma ha ayudado a invisibilizar.
