dossier: "peuples exclus de la philosophie"

Philosophy has long been dominated by elitist voices and exclusive perspectives. Many people - children, women and the working classes - have been excluded from this intellectual domain. Yet the
practice of philosophy is essential both for the construction of oneself as an autonomous subject and for emancipation and integration into political and civic life. While the official and institutional discourse
of philosophy teaching aims for universality and emancipation, it is still strictly reserved for the few. Our proposals aim to think about - and overcome - this marginalization of the practice of philosophy by exploring the cultural contexts and more or less explicit discourses that preside over these processes of
exclusion, as well as all forms of resistance, experimentation, contribution and decolonization by and for those who have been historically invisibilized. The same arguments seem inexorably used to exclude a large part of humanity from the exercise of philosophy: a biological “nature” that renders certain people “incapable” (by virtue of their gender, age, social class, origin), their denaturation by the exercise of rationality (and the denaturation of philosophy, which would be “soiled” or “impoverished”), the moral danger of exposing them to critical thought, and so on. We invite researchers, philosophers, academics, teachers, students - and anyone else who wants to join us, since we're not excluding anyone! - to submit a proposal that examines and puts into perspective the following themes: philosophy and children; philosophy and women; philosophy and the working classes; philosophy and epistemic colonialism
