We are convinced that, today, the dimension of philosophy can only be global, crossed by plurality and differences. Our aim is doing philosophy together: an all-round and “circling” philosophy, where the “circle” does not have a center. Doing philosophy “together” necessarily implies a polylogic and transformative practice: it comes to life and springs out from transitions, dialogues and translations, and takes shape in a multiplicity of languages, cultures, disciplines, and gestures. It is a philosophy, therefore, that is made of intertwined, thin threads whose weft does not have a straight and a reverse, or a head and an end. It is like a web that can be taken from any side and leads to any place, and touching a single edge of this web means at the same time touching it all and being touched by it – as long as one accepts to be transformed at each new encounter.
For us, philosophy does not coincide with a discipline that is crystallized in a logocentrism, claiming a uniquely European origin; at the same time, it does not coincide with either an uncritical passion for exoticism and otherness, or with an all-encompassing synthesis. Thus, it is not a philosophy that centralizes, but a philosophy that decentralizes; it is not encompassing but global; not essentialistic, but essentially pluralistic; not identifying but disseminating. It is a philosophy that does not compare by separating, but which creates by intertwining. The lingua franca of this space is translation.
The exercise we propose with this kind of philosophy is to make cultures meet, being resources to each other, developing this strenuous and continuous exercise of thought.
