Abstract

Philosophy Kitchen celebrates its tenth anniversary. With this issue we celebrate this decade, crossing the lines of research that have inhabited the journal in the hope of relaunching them in the years to come. Here, then, is our state of the art, from which we scientifically restart. An issue constructed as an opportunity for reflection on the journal itself, an introspective look at the past and at the same time projecting it towards the future. Among those past and present, ten members of the editorial board have chosen their own personal author of reference: ten authors that, if one had to choose, one would take to a desert island or perhaps save from universal disaster, consigning it to posterity. And ten guests, scholars of acknowledged fame, called to a re-reading of those authors, an exploration, a re-launch. To present and motivate the choices, ten freely written introductions, linking each curator, his author and his guest. What emerges is a super-synthesis of Philosophy Kitchen's position. A multifaceted position, just like the transcendental prism of the first issue, and built from and on the contamination of gazes and disciplines. The ten authors are perhaps classics: not so the ten readings that are given of them, precisely because a continuous re-founding of knowledge is possible and, therefore, necessary.
