El conocimiento filosófico y una historia de amenazas

Abstract

This paper aims to explain the loss of Philosophy’s epistemic status as it was first established   by the Greeks. This loss was first operated by Kant, who reduced Philosophy to Epistemology; and later, by Marx, for whom Philosophy ceased to be understanding to become revolution. This latter leads to a Nihilism that understands Philosophy in terms of an ideology, including the hermeneutical intent. The recovery of the genuine epistemic status of Philosophy will depend on the docility of the human spirit in proving something (experiri) named being.
