philosophy colloquiums that aspire to be a space for calm and non-ideological reflection about the human condition in the world of our days. The peculiar thing about philosophy is not its academic specialization, nor its powerful tradition, which is confused with the origins of western culture, nor even its involvement in current worldviews, but a vocation for lucidity that always renews the examination of the assumptions and preconceptions with which we face the cultural perplexities of the present, the socio-political problems, the reasons for the confusion of human existence. The spirit of philosophy is to assume that questions can be more decisive and radical than the available answers. But since the great theoretical questions always move within a horizon of interconnected issues, of implicit values, of worldviews in force or in crisis, the radicality of such questions is inseparable from a desire for open dialogue, which seeks the careful debate of ideas.
And share the free examination of beliefs. Since 2019, when álvaro lobato lavín and myself, agustín serrano de haro, co-directed the philosophy forum, this possibility of a leisurely meditation on theoretical foundations and practical perplexities has guided successive years of philosophical conversations. Sometimes cycles of three or four sessions have been chosen on comprehensive problems: philosophy and uk phone number science, philosophy and religious experience, jewish thought, the debates on feminism. In others, monographic sessions have been dedicated to more unitary issues, such as the challenge of transhumanism, the debate on the objectivity of values or the discussion on the theoretical bases of liberalism or populism. On certain occasions the problems have coincided with very recognizable controversies in current philosophy: the discussion on mind-brain identity, the proposal of the new realists. In others, the door has been opened to the original contributions of spanish thinkers, such as the analysis of aporophobia or the phenomenology of pride.
in all sessions, efforts have been made to ensure that the philosophical conversation was accessible to a broad audience and that this non-specialist approach did not imply, however, the renunciation of the intellectual demand or the difficulty of the issues under consideration. This same goal of open philosophy has also been served by interspersing sessions focused on great thinkers or currents of thought (hannah arendt, martin heidegger, the frankfurt school), among whom, by the way, the highest names have been regularly included. Of the spanish philosophical tradition of the xnumxth century (ortega, unamuno, zambrano, zubiri). In the foundation's philosophy forum fide encourages, in all humility, a certain commitment to theoretical rationality, which does not end in objectified knowledge, but requires guiding ideas, and to practical rationality that, especially in our days, needs lucid guidelines regarding individual human life and collective existence.
