Filosofisina

Filosofisina is a philosophical framework that emphasizes integrating ethical reflection with empirical inquiry and social practice. Proponents argue that knowledge should be tested through real-world application, while moral reasoning remains attentive to context, uncertainty, and the experiences of marginalized communities. The approach advocates dialogical methods and collaborative knowledge production across disciplines and cultures.

The term Filosofisina was coined in contemporary scholarly discourse to denote a philosophy of synthesis, drawing on phenomenology, pragmatism, and postcolonial thought. It emerged from cross-disciplinary workshops in Europe and North America in the early 21st century and later expanded by scholars in Asia, Africa, and the Americas.

Its core tenets include epistemic humility (recognizing limits of knowledge), ethical pragmatism (prioritizing workable solutions while maintaining moral accountability), democratic deliberation (participation of diverse voices), and narrative justice (valuing lived stories as sources of knowledge). It also promotes methodological pluralism, integrating qualitative and quantitative methods, and favors systemic, long-term interventions over one-off solutions.

Practically, Filosofisina favors scenario-based ethics, public philosophy forums, co-authorship with non-academic stakeholders, and policy-informed research. It treats philosophy as a collaborative project aimed at social relevance, with emphasis on transparency and reflective equilibrium across communities.

Reception is mixed. Supporters see it as a bridge between theory and practice and a way to address contemporary issues such as inequality and misinformation. Critics argue that its pragmatism risks relativism or diluting analytic rigor. In education and policy studies, Filosofisina has influenced curricula and research design in several centers, while remaining contested in others.
