EN TORNO AL PROBLEMA DE LA FILOSOFÍA
Palabras clave:
Philosophical thought, reflections, history and philosophy, philosophy and scienceResumen
When one begins to study philosophy, it is very common to think that the work of the philosopher dwells in paradoxes. This is partly because, at the same time that it reveals itself as the work that requires the greatest level of self-conscious activity, its history, that is, the story of what philosophers have actually done, reveals itself without unity and homogeneity. In this essay I reflect, from a general point of view, upan the nature of philosophy to try and see why it reveals in this paradoxical manner. In this sense, I develop a series of arguments in favor of a conception of philosophy as an enterprise that has as its goal the analysis of the activities that give content
and meaning to the lije of men. And last but not least, in this essay I also make a few observations upan the relations between philosophical and scientific efforts.
