Abstract

Philosophy has aimed to understand and, in some cases, to transform reality based on vital experience, of the world and an epoch. This pressing requirement is even more significant when current issues demand us to take a leading role in new theorization, rather than simply commenting or engaging in the exegesis of existent philosophies. One of the main debates in contemporary philosophy involves the discussion of Modernity and Postmodernity. Taking this as a starting point, this article will briefly present some preliminary reflections allowing us to identify, even if approximately, the greatest challenges contemporary philosophy faces.
