PHILOSOPHY, WHERE TO TODAY?
PHILOSOPHY, WHERE TO TODAY?

Summary/Abstract: The interrogation in the title of our article starts from the idea that philosophy is going through a period of uncertainty, undoubtedly linked, first of all, to the moral crisis the human being faces today. On the other hand, the expansion of contemporary scientism, the unimaginable development of modern technologies has given rise to a human addiction to the outside world, by removing him from his own essence. Paradoxically, although man has succeeded in conquering the cosmos through the advance of science and technology, we cannot say the same thing about self-conquest, moral decadence lying at the root of all evils. The man, today, in the rush of material accumulation, has moved away from the Absolute, losing sight of the meaning of his existence in this world. Philosophy means life and I think it was given to man to discover his existential purpose and place in this world. We propose to answer the question in the title with another one: "when man lives in the ’forgetfulness’ of his being, what is the use of philosophy, today?" trying in this way to argue somehow the need for philosophy of today’s mana.
