About Lucas

My name is Lucas, I am Colombian and I am 23 years old.

I'm pationnated about philosophy since high school. I did a degree in philosophy at the University of Lyon and then a masters degree in contemporary philosophy at the Universitat de Barcelona. Currently, I am doing a second masters degree focusing particularly on the French philosophy of XX and the philosophy of art, at the University Paris 8.
This academic path is seen however crossed by other disciplines that for wich i'm also attracted: mathematics, theater or law, to name a few. Finally, my passion for philosophy is redoubled by a particular taste for teaching. I had the opportunity to give private lessons of French in Spain and to lead philosophical workshops for children. These experiences, in addition to the belief of the existence of an inseparable link between philosophical exercise and teaching, makes me projecting my future in philosophical research and pedagogy.

About the lesson

Teaching and philosophy are undoubtedly intimately linked. But this does not mean that every pedagogy is valid in philosophy. It means, on the contrary, that it is necessary to make the teaching itself philosophical, to make philsophy through the very act of teaching and learning. It is in this sense that Kant wrote: "we do not learn philosophy, we can only learn to philosophize".
How do we learn to philosophize? Surely we do not do it by learning by heart a series of concepts and authors. The history of philosophy is neaded, but that's only because of the new possibilities it opens to thought. To be "like dwarves on the shoulders of giants" is the only meaning of history in philosophy.
The chosen methodology will therefore try to realize this conception of a living philosophy and an active teaching: The subject to be treated will be chosen according to the interests and goals of the student. If it is a tutoring or a competition or a specific exam, we will follow the themes and the authors of the program. We will therefore rely on the texts of the chosen thinkers. We will try to come up with a deep reading capacity and conceptually rigorous text; but only with the objective of being able to think through the text. It is therefore not a question of learning the authors concepts, but of understanding the problem with which the text is confounded, of understanding the concepts he develops to solve it, of being able to re-use his concepts, to adhere to they sometimes and criticized them in other cases.
The rigorous - but still living and not dogmatic - understanding of the text must be accompanied by an act that allows the development of one's own thought. We will rely on the two classical exercises of our philosophical tradition: the comentary of the text and the dissertation. It is certainly important to learn a particular method, but even more to understand the meaning of the method; that is to say to learn to develop through it a creative thought and rigurously constructed. The essential point on which the course will focus will be the one that is the most strongly philosophical, perhaps the crucial point of philosophy: problematization. Learning to build a problem and to ask it, to learn to understand the problem that runs through a text and how it affects us still, this is what it means to learn to philosophize.
Finally, throughout the course it will be the dialogue our main engine. The dialogue between the teacher and the student, but also the dialogue with the authors and texts. It is undoubtedly a particular dialogue the philosophical dialogue: a conceptual and logically rigurous dialogue, a dialogue without absurd hierarchies, a creative dialogue. But the important thing is that it is always an exchange of ideas that produces thought. Only then, I hope, we really learn to philosophize and we can understand philosophy.
