Recognition and rhizome: Mutatis Mutandis in the philosophical scene

Abstract

The recognition by the Erih + index to Mutatis Mutandis places it in a scene similar to that of other important journals of this and other continents and demonstrates that there is quality philosophical edition in Chile, to which the philosophical community, universities and Fondecyt owe pay attention This is a process of centering philosophy, which, little by little, ceases to have a unique geographic-intellectual center in the northern hemisphere, even when in this case Mutatis Mutandis receives recognition from Europe. It is that today philosophical validity can hardly be founded in a specific local context. Philosophy, to be philosophy, does not reproduce or should not be reproduced as a copy of itself in other places or moments; philosophy, if it wants to be, is rhizomatous in its generation and production; jumps from one place to another, at every moment, and there it grows, autonomously with respect to its origin. In that sense, even the concept of rhizome is narrow. Mutatis Mutandis and those who support her with her work and her publications are part of that activity and rhizomatous autonomy.
