The right to philosophy

Which Philosophy for the Third Millennium?

Venice, Ca' Foscari University, October the 19th-21th, 2015

Jacques Derrida first dwelled on a right to philosophy in his Du droit à la philosophie, 1990. Since that book, inside the philosophical practices movements, many things have changed: philosophy is not only a school discipline but it is also a practice that is performed in many places, even unexpected, such as prisons, municipalities, hospitals, children gardens and primary schools, and the idea that a right to philosophy does exist and has been growing up.

We usually ask for a right when we think it is denied without a reason. Is there anyone who denies this right? And what has now become the so "popular" and "hyper-specialized" philosophy? What would we expect philosophy to be in the next years? How could philosophical dissemination reach a shared elaboration of philosophizing? What are the risks and the benefits of this process?

The association Amica Sofia has opened the debate in the 2014 thanks to the discussions inside its journal and on-line in www.academia.edu and in www.amicasofia.it. Now time has come to collect all the different voices that have taken position on it and the Venice Conference on the right to philosophy represents this opportunity. The conference's sessions are about forms and places to do philosophy and the configurations assumed by the philosophical question in this first years of the Third Millennium.
