GONZALEZ, Pablo Manuel Guadarrama. The Contemporary World as a Challenge for an Intercultural Philosophy or Thinking. Rev. Guillermo Ockham [online]. 2024, vol.22, n.1, pp.133-146.  Epub Apr 22, 2024. ISSN 1794-192X.  https://doi.org/10.21500/22563202.6742.

It is questioned whether a single philosophy can face the challenge of proposing alternative solutions to numerous issues that threaten the contemporary world. Four possibilities of cultivating philosophy are analyzed: as an aseptic exercise, aseptic detached from its historical context, as a reduction to its hermeneutic function, interpretation, limited to pragmatic immediatism or as a rational attempt to better understand reality to contribute to its transformation. Based on such attitudes, the latter is suggested as the most appropriate if it is considered in which a family of philosophical currents, among which is intercultural philosophy, can be consensually articulated to achieve a better understanding of the urgent issues that burden humanity today.

Keywords : philosophy; intercultural philosophy; contemporary world.
