INTERNATIONAL DECLARATION FOR COOPERATION, PEACE AND PHILOSOPHY
English version1
Abstract: We are at a crossroads. Possibly the greatest crossroads humanity has encountered so far in the 21st century. In the midst of truths and lies, of official and "unofficial" viralizations about the state of things, in the midst of great instability there is no doubt that our life has changed significantly. The interests of large corporations and the exploitation of circumstance, fear, paralysis, isolation and the increase of a more individualistic model of life are almost undeniable trends. We find ourselves in an era that requires courage, intelligence and adaptability to change without giving up our fundamental values. But have we asked ourselves about these values and whether they are being put into practice today? Have we thought about what we do and do not want for our world in the 2020's for children, for our families, in education or in the field of work? The procedure for constructing this International Declaration for Cooperation, Peace and Philosophy implied contacting prominent philosophers from 10 countries: Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, Mexico, United States, Spain, Italy, Germany, Russia and Japan . Approximately 5 philosophers or thinkers from each country were invited to form a total group of 50 people. They were sent a series of open and diverse questions with the explicit invitation to include other topics if they considered it pertinent. The colleagues from the countries decided whether to send their texts individually or collectively, thus forming what we called "PreDeclarations by country". Once the ideas from each region had been grouped together, the compilations were sent again to the participants in each of these places so that they could send their comments, corrections or 1 The complete Declaration whit all the pre-declarations by country can be found at:
