| description | The increased speed of communication, spatial compression, and the growing possibilities of new high-speed technologies, are among the major features of rapid changes leading the present-day highly interconnected and 'shrinking' world. In this context, social practices can benefit from newly emerged spaces of social interaction, which deeply modified the contours of social space, cultural communities, and — last but not least — scholarly activities. In this paper, I engage in a reflection on some of the shifts and innovations brought about by the process globalisation in philosophical practices. Doing philosophy in times of globalization comes with a plethora of new opportunities, yet it also gives rise to novel issues which call for further assessment. More specifically, I will focus on two features of current philosophical practices, namely, collaboration and pluralism: while doing philosophy has always involved forms of collaboration and pluralism, the process of globalisation widely contributed an unprecedented increase in collaborative research works, as well as a dramatic increase of philosophical pluralism. Lastly, I will suggest that the current status of philosophical practices, characterised with high degrees of diversity and increased levels of both intra-disciplinary and cross-disciplinary collaboration, encourages and urges metaphilosophical reflection: questions about the disciplinary identity, as well as about the philosophical method, have now become more salient than ever. |
