Los congresos nacionales de Filosofía de 1949 y 1971: dos hitos en la Filosofía argentina

Abstract

The first two national congresses philosophy, rare analysed as milestones: the first, as it consolidated the normalization neutral philosophy and the second, for being an expression a movement criticizing it. In order to draw this profile, alternative sources and new approaches have been used: 1. The testimonies attendees, or the echoes that reached their students or disciples. 2. Specific historiographical reviews; 3. Remembrance and celebration events. The testimonies analyzed allow us to infer three results; 1) a significant dispersion the assessment these congresses (and even the memories); 2) a tendency to visualize the aspects on which the witness agrees or knows best about (at the level philosophical disciplines, ideas and people) in a positive light, that is, to speak of what they know; 3) a certain silencing or omission potentially conflictive and / or negative aspects, including a reconsideration the philosophical history, both personal and collective.
