How can one become aware of the presuppositions of one’s own thinking without questioning familiar knowledge structures through other perspectives? In this lecture series, we want to break down the narrow meshes of Western thinking together and introduce the basic philosophical principles of the indigenous peoples of North America. From different perspectives, we will present, among other things, the relationship between environment, individual and society, the contrast between Western and Indigenous North American epistemologies and ontologies, the importance of language and art as a means of influencing political reality, and the generation of knowledge in Indigenous societies. The aim of the event is to overcome stereotypes, promote intercultural discourse and open up new philosophical approaches to old and new questions. We warmly welcome all interested people, regardless of background!

BIOPOLITICAL PHILOSOPHY 
La realidad política pensada sin la importancia de los saberes de los pueblos originarios genera un distanciamiento en la nueva construcción societal a la que estamos llamados. La humanidad con los problemas de calentamiento global, sobre población relacionada con la soberanía alimentaria, hábitat digno, acceso al trabajo y los efectos posteriores al Coronavirus, presentan nuevas identidades. En las que debe mirarse y analizarse las formas de redistribución, equidad de los distintos grupos poblacionales a nivel global, y la justicia social vista desde la naturaleza. Es decir, estamos ante la construcción del nuevo sujeto político con un claro interrogante ¿del cómo materializar el enfoque de género en todo este andamiaje social?.
