We will develop our philosophical thinking. Inspired by the Peripatetic School in Athens founded by Aristo where clases were taught walking outdoors, we will learn, debate, enjoy and investigate both philosophers and diverse themes from the philosophical perspective while walking through the beautiful parks and streets of Lisboa. I started this group to meet other philosophy enthusiasts. Looking forward to walk through philosophy together with everybody.

Let´s be greek and dive today on…
Charles Wade Mills (1951 - 2021), Jamaican philosopher known to be the spiritual father of the Critical Philosophy of Race, which achieved an important milestone on Mills´ book "The Racial Contract", outlining there how historical Social Contract theories, both the traditional (Hobbes, Locke) as well as the more progressive (Rousseau) pre-supposed an equality exclusively-among-whites, therefore in fact proposing a racial contract, often implicit and historical, that has shaped the modern world, establishing a system of racial hierarchy and exploitation. This contract privileges white people and perpetuates racial injustice.
Mills advocates the use of "non-ideal theories" in political philosophy, acknowledging the historical and ongoing realities of oppression and domination, in contrast with "ideal theory" which often focuses on abstract, utopian models of justice
