dc.description.abstract |
This paper argues that philosophical practice in the Western world, in particular analytic philosophy, suffers from problems that contribute to its lack of diversity in two senses: the exclusion of women and minorities, and a narrow choice of subjects and methods. This is not fruitful for philosophical exchange and the flourishing of philosophical thought. Three contributing factors are covered: a flawed execution when instilling intellectual humility; the gaslighting of women in philosophy; and an overemphasis on a narrow conception of intelligence. The conclusion calls for a more humane and socially aware practice of philosophy. |
dc.description.abstract |
Cet essai soutient que la pratique philosophique dans le monde occidental, en
particulier la philosophie analytique, souffre de problèmes qui contribuent à
son manque de diversité dans deux sens: l'exclusion des femmes et des
minorités, et un choix étroit de sujets et de méthodes. Ceci n’est fructueux ni
pour l'échange philosophique ni pour l'épanouissement de la pensée
philosophique. Trois facteurs y contribuant sont l‘objet de la discussion: Une
mise en pratique défectueuse en inculquant l'humilité intellectuelle, le
“gaslighting” envers les femmes en philosophie et une trop grande importance
accordée à une conception étroite de l'intelligence. La conclusion fait appel à
une pratique plus humaine et socialement consciente de la philosophie. |
