Lines of investigation
1. Openness to Otherness and Difference. This area allows for the development of a critical perspective on openness to otherness and difference, from a philosophical, ethical-political standpoint regarding the responsibility of thought in relation to this dimension of otherness. It also seeks to problematize the various categorical and perceptual frameworks used to define differences (gender, cultural, social, ethnic, civic, educational, etc.). 2. Problematization of Archives and Writings. This area pursues a twofold critical-reflective inquiry from and in relation to philosophical discourses. On the one hand, it problematizes archives and writings, both philosophical and from other sources (literature, science, history, psychoanalysis, etc.), with which philosophy has been in constant dialogue throughout its history. On the other hand, based on these diverse archives and writings, it seeks to problematize the very canon of the philosophical tradition and some of the assumptions it entails.
