I will not use your last name out of respect and because it is not essential either. We called him The flea; He was a brother of La Salle who was not exactly noted for his tall stature; Let’s say he would have had it raw in the NBA. Nicknames can be cruel but not deceiving. He was my first contact with philosophy; with the history of philosophy, to be more exact, given that in the Palaeolithic – that is, when I was studying – quotes from Socrates, Heraclitus or Epicurus, also their biographical data, were quoted up. But the ethical doubts applied to real life, questions about existence, morals or religion, were not part of the landscape. Spain still smelled of Franco.

It is no wonder that teachers from all over the country have shouted to the sky and call protest acts, coinciding with World Philosophy Day. One of them is called José Carlos Ruiz.

José Carlos is trilling with the flagrant breach of the commitment that all the parties had made so that philosophy had a teaching itinerary of at least three years. I understand your anger.
