 “If philosophy is not therapeutic, it is complicit.”

Darío Sztajnszrajber, Argentine philosopher, essayist and teacher, participated on Wednesday, April 20th in InfoCLACSO with his profound reflections on various current issues.


Interviewed by Gustavo Lema


Sztajnszrajber, who will participate in the opening of the 9th Latin American and Caribbean Conference of Social Sciences on June 7 at UNAM in Mexico, focused particularly on analyzing the effects and consequences of more than two years of pandemic, considering that “the first impact of the pandemic was the crisis of our experience of order… The quarantine placed us in a disorienting position and forced us to question what it means to be inside and outside.” “The pandemic is a consequence of the world we anticipated and was the philosophical problem of the moment,” he maintained.

In another vein, he considered that “if philosophy is not therapeutic, it is complicit” and, a few weeks before the #CLACSO2022 Conference, he proposed: “We must have greater access to academic dissemination for a more massive audience.”
