Abstract
PRADA-DUSSAN, Maximiliano. Reduction of philosophy: Two decades of public policy in the construction of the field of philosophy teaching in Colombia. Estud.filos [online]. 2024, n.69, pp.177-198. Epub June 05, 2024. ISSN 0121-3628. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.ef.353222.
This article analyzes how public policies and regulations have affected the meaning of teaching philosophy in Colombia in the last two decades. Here, we analyze “Document 14”, the Critical Reading test in the “Saber 11” tests, the reform of the Bach- elor’s Degrees and the recent regulations on Qualified Registration and High Quality of university programs, which are structured from the notion of “learning outcomes”. The paper analyzes the norms and their reflection on the national philosophical community. Following Tovar’s hypothesis, we intend to show that, as a consequence of these regula- tions, philosophy has been given an operative meaning oriented to the labor demand and “living together” education. This has occurred by sacrificing the richness and breadth of philosophy. Finally, the text reveals that the philosophical community has critically assumed the norms, constituting philosophical reflection on political action.
