Abstract

ALEXANDRE, Bruno Santos. Teaching philosophy between “history of philosophy” and “philosophy”. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2018, vol.32, n.66, pp.965-989.  Epub Sep 22, 2020. ISSN 1982-596X.  https://doi.org/10.14393/revedfil.issn.0102-6801.v32n66a2018-02.

This paper investigates a non-dogmatic form of teaching philosophy. The main issue is if such teaching could only be achieved through a kind of neutral recapitulation of the history of philosophy, or if no recapitulation of the history of philosophy could abdicate a specific philosophical content. In the present work, I address this well-known question by revisiting the debate between the so-called structural methodology adepts (by Martial Guéroult and Victor Goldschmidt), who defend the first position, versus its Brazilian critics (Carlos Alberto Ribeiro de Moura and Oswaldo Porchat), who support the second one. I argue, finally, that the true dogmatists of this debate are the partisans of the first position (which defend monolithic structures for philosophy) rather than the partisans of the second (which explores a critical and interrogative perspective for philosophy: open thus to auto-transformation).

Keywords : History of philosophy; Guéroult; Goldschimdt; Porchat; Ribeiro de Moura.
