BELLORO, Lucía Ana. The First National Congress of Philosophy. A founding moment of philosophical practices in Argentina?. Cuyo-anu. filos. argent. am. [online]. 2017, vol.34, n.1, pp.115-139.  Epub May 06, 2021. ISSN 1853-3175.

In 1949, the University of Mendoza was host to the first national congress of Argentine philosophy. It was a great international event that placed Argentinean, American, and European philosophers face to face, marking a founding moment for the philosophic-academic activity in Argentina and giving Argentine philosophy an international reach. The purpose of this work is to direct our attention to this event to understand it as an institutional and foundational stage of the practice of academic philosophy in Argentina, which in turn leads us to the questions: What is a congress of philosophy? What is its reach as philosophical institution? What legitimation and acknowledgment logics are set in motion? From a historical and contextual perspective we will try to analyze these questions and give an account of that moment that means an opening to certain practices of philosophical interchange and to a way of doing and legitimizing the philosophy in Argentina.
