Digital Technologies as a housing condition and the Teaching of Philosophy

Abstract

This article aims to reflect on Philosophy, Technology and Teaching of Philosophy in the context of the impact of digital technologies on today's society and how this relates to the teaching of philosophy in basic school. It results from the research under development in the Professional Master's Degree in Philosophy / PROFFILO. The discussion will develop under three questions: what type of Philosophy should be politically mobilized in basic schooling to comply with the provisions of the LDB? In what way does Technology, as a habitable condition, insert itself in the social experience and in the formation of our subjectivity, requiring us to reflect on it beyond the aspect of professional education in which it is inserted? And, finally, how can the Teaching of Philosophy, as an autonomous scientific field, unite the type of Philosophy to be mobilized in school and the critical understanding of Technology in its contemporary role? If today our experience is imbricated with technology in a much more fundamental way than in other times, it is the role of Philosophy to mobilize a teaching that enables society to think about itself to transform this experience, if it decides, even in a rebellious way, questioning the structures that create, develop and maintain this relationship that objectifies the human being in favor of those who hold power over these same structures. This article reflects on this and seeks to create conditions for the collective creation of a class consensus, bringing an articulation between different thinkers, with greater emphasis on the chinese thinker Yuk Hui.
