Project description
Uncovering philosophy’s hidden narratives
In traditional philosophy education, the focus has long been on a narrow, Western-centric perspective. This approach often excludes diverse philosophical traditions and overlooks alternative histories of thought. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme, the THiMe project aims to change this by rethinking how we study the History of Philosophy. By blending methodologies from different philosophers like Gueroult, Deleuze, Strauss, and Koselleck, THiMe seeks to uncover overlooked philosophical ideas and challenge the limitations of the established canon. This initiative aims to create a more inclusive and comprehensive methodology for exploring philosophical and political thought, fostering new perspectives that could lead to societal transformation.
Objective
“Temporalities, Histories, and Methods of Philosophy” (THiMe) intends to contribute to the studies on the critique of the Western Canon, through specific reflection on the History of Philosophy and its political nature. The objective is to produce a new methodology of the History of Philosophy and Political Thought to deconstruct and rethink the consolidated canon that determines the way the History of Philosophy is taught and studied nowadays. The ambition is to produce a method capable of fostering emancipatory practices, through the recovery of interrupted histories and neglected legacies of thought, challenging the intrinsic limits of the logic of the Western canon and encouraging a reformulation of the History of Philosophy in inclusive and emancipatory terms. Through the comparative synthesis of M. Gueroult’s, G. Deleuze’s, L. Strauss’ and R. Koselleck’s methods and categories, THiMe’s will provide an innovative conceptuality to renew the idea of History of Philosophy and challenge the exclusionary nature of the canon. It will craft a methodology to investigate the problem of plural temporalities and alternative histories on the specific level of the production of philosophic-political concepts. This approach will produce a knowledge framework that will detect exclusionary biases and flaws hidden in the assumption of a linear and progressive history of philosophical-political thought in general. This framework will be able to unearth and empower philosophical-political possibilities concealed within historical contexts, ultimately proposing a Politics of the History of Philosophy, capable of bolstering emancipatory endeavors in contemporary society. THiMe’s innovative methodology will result from an original combination of the historical-conceptual method and dialectical method, which will make visible the production of concepts and philosophical historiographies as polemical products of socio-political historical conjunctures.
