Summary

María Grace Salamanca González, a doctoral student at the University of Lyon, presents her research on a ‘field philosophy’ focused on environmental care ethics. She draws on feminist epistemology and decolonial critiques from Latin America, emphasizing the need for a philosophy that engages with concrete social and ecological realities. She describes her fieldwork in Mexico and Chile, working with indigenous communities, patients, and rural groups affected by mining projects. She advocates for a reciprocal, non-extractive relationship between researchers and their interlocutors, challenging academic power dynamics. She critiques the traditional positions of neutrality and objectivity, proposing a philosophy that is ‘situated’ and responsible. The talk includes reflections on the role of theater and art in research, as well as the importance of addressing asymmetries of power. She concludes by inviting a critical and transformative approach to philosophy, grounded in field experiences.

Critical Evaluation

Value of the Information & Strength of the Argument

The presentation offers an original and engaged perspective on field philosophy, illustrated by concrete experiences of action research. The argument is coherent, supported by references to feminist and decolonial epistemology, but the demonstration could be better structured. The strength rests mainly on personal experience rather than on deep theoretical argumentation.

Scientific Rigor, Source Quality, Title Accuracy

The title clearly announces a doctoral training on field philosophy, which the content confirms. The mentioned sources are not explicit, but the concepts evoked (care, feminist epistemology) are recognised. The low quality of the transcription reduces the perceived rigor. The title/content fit is good.

Contribution & Novelties

L’aport réside dans une réflexion située sur la pratique de la philosophie en contexte, reliant care et recherche-action. L’originalité tient à l’intégration d’expériences latino-américaines de résistance politique et de recherche communautaire.
