Digital Journal of Philosophy Teaching (ReFiLo): the Santa Maria messenger of philosophical education in Brazil

Abstract

: The question of the philosopher Immanuel Kant about the possibility or not of teaching philosophy is well known. Starting from the premise that it is not possible to dissociate philosophy from its teaching, this article proposes to answer the following question: in what way does the Digital Journal of Philosophy Teaching (ReFiLo) contribute to the debate and strengthening of philosophical education in Brazil? To answer this question, a qualitative and quantitative research was carried out, adopting bibliometric research to characterize the scientific production published by the journal between 2015 and 2021. The results of the study indicated that ReFiLo disseminated 116 publications, which 76% refer to articles in scientific journals. The data also revealed that these publications were produced by 155 philosophers of education with varied academic backgrounds, especially in the areas of philosophy and education. The results also showed that bibliographic and documental research were the most used in the construction of works published by ReFiLo. The 116 publications generated a total of 217 keywords that represented the philosophical-educational content of the reported works. Finally, the data indicated that the 116 publications were written theoretically and methodologically based on 1,011 works. This research concluded that ReFiLo is characterized by being an open and democratic philosophical-educational journal that welcomes, evaluates and publishes reflections on philosophical education produced by authors with different accumulated philosophical-educational capital and that promote resistance movements to maintain living philosophy in school curricula.
