Geographies of thought: Philosophy put to the test

In recent decades, the denunciation of the hegemonic claims of Western knowledge and the demands imposed by epistemic decolonizations have opened the way to new orientations and critical perspectives, thus interrogating the narratives that philosophy presents itself with as a discipline, the Eurocentric self-referentiality of its canonical corpus, and the paradigm of difference, with its divisions among subjects, texts, and spaces that are regarded as legitimate or otherwise when it comes to producing philosophy. This interview addresses these questions, starting from the observation that the mechanisms according to which the canons of philosophy are arranged harbor an unresolved tension between the universal and the “others” of philosophy.
