Abstract

This paper aims to describe the process of constitution of the project Philosophy in the City, which aims to bring philosophical reflection to the streets through philosophical cafés and philosophy workshops with children. The first Cafe Filosófico in Mexico City was created by Esther Charabati 22 years ago and is still being held weekly. Philosophy in the City is a project born in Mexico City in 2016, at the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras in the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. It is an interdisciplinary group of young people -from the careers of Philosophy, Pedagogy, and Psychology- committed to taking philosophy out of the classroom and taking it in public spaces. In 2022 its members carried on more than 700 philosophical cafes in public spaces. Philosophy in the city has a permanent presence in libraries, book fairs, and in various social networks.
