Ranhilio Aquino reports on the UNESCO World Day of Philosophy, 20 Nov. Ateneo de Manila University
A symposium on Power and Rights organized by professor Rainier Ibana of Ateneo de Manila University and professor Sedfrey Candelaria of its human rights center marked Unesco World Day of Philosophy on Nov. 20. I accepted the gracious invitation to be on the panel of discussants that included Dr. Leovino Garcia, Fr. Luis David, SJ and Dr. Florentino Hornedo, among others. Aside from expressing his irritation at having to be asked to speak ahead of me (as my bus from Tuguegarao did not allow me to be at Loyola Heights on time for the affair’s commencement), professor Jose David Lapuz regaled the audience of academics and human rights advocates with not-so-kind remarks over one or the other holding of Justice Learned Hand (Lapuz wondered how learned his hand was!) and rhetorical appeals to eschew philosophy for the more quotidian concerns about the plight of the hungry and the homeless. It took Leo Garcia to remind him that it was philosophy day and we had been invited precisely to philosophize.
About Gawaing-Pilosopo
Gawaing-Pilosopo is an online bulletin board that serves as a public portal where Filipino philosophers and enthusiasts, academics and students alike, can post, inter alia, conferences, workshops, seminars, lectures, conference/journal call for papers, scholarships and fellowships, etc. There is no monetary cost for posting your announcements; however, all submissions will be moderated to ensure quality control and to avoid uneccesarry clutter.
The vision of the site’s creator is to bring together philosophers from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao in the hope of eventually overcoming the Balkanization among philosophy departments and the North-South divide that contribute to the “crucifixion” of philosophy in the Philippines.
Gawaing-Pilosopo advocates the vision of de-centering institutional and regional priority. If you share this vision, please join the community by using this portal to propagate the value of philosophical inquiry to our colleagues, students, and fellow Filipinos.
