Philosophy is the activity of thinking beyond the limits of our time with common problems as the starting premise. It enquires about the discourse's conditions and enables a critical analysis to be undertaken, based on concepts that can be shared and discussed. Philosophy is an activity that forms part of our societies' public life. In these times of uncertainty, it is taking on an increasingly important role because it is able to cross the epistemological limits of the different expert languages and think beyond them.
