AFYL IN XXII WORLD CONGRESS OF PHILOSOPHY

Philosophy today is directly involved in critical social problems and lays out its theoretical and discursive resources in order to contribute to a better understanding and possible solution of the problems such phenomena arise.

In this context, the Association of Philosophy and Liberation (AFYL), ever since it's organization, has been fulfilling an outstanding role, devoting itself to contribute to what is now announced as the main subject of the XXII World Congress of Philisophy: "Rethinking philosophy", as a means of liberation of opressed or excluded people from injustice.

Hence, our Association is planning to include three Round Tables in the Worl Congress of Philosophy, with the following subjects:
