The Importance of Philosophy in the Face of Problems

Jeffrey Toobin: I think that the task of philosophy is not to provide answers but to show how the way we perceive a problem can be itself part of a problem mystifying it instead of enabling us to solve it. So many problems today perceived as problems of intolerance rather than problems of inequality exploitation injustice and so on, he says. The reason is the liberal multiculturalist basic ideological operation called culturalization of politics where differences conditioned by political inequality or economic exploitation are naturalized neutralized into different ways of life which cannot be overcome according to Toobin.
