                                   Editors’ Introduction




In an era dominated by information and communication technologies,
when science continues to amaze us with its discoveries and
technological applications, and when social media are controlling part
of our lives and social relationships, does philosophy still make sense?
Is humanistic knowledge still necessary today as an indispensable part
of our human world?
       The Interuniversity Philosophy Society (SIFA), a European
philosophical society established in Santiago de Compostela, has
devoted the fourteenth edition of its International Philosophy Meetings
on the Way of St. James to the issue of "Philosophy today: the need
for humanities in the making of a world for the future". The Meeting
was held in Santiago de Compostela on 9, 10 and 11 November 2017
and was attended by speakers and lecturers from Spain, Portugal,
Italy, Japan, Honduras, Colombia, Mexico, Poland and Cape Verde.
       The Proceedings of this International Meeting are now available,
after having excerpted the sections dedicated to Oriental Thought and
Thought in Galicia, both of which have been published as separate
books.
       We at Critical Hermeneutics Journal regard this forward-looking
perspective on philosophy and humanities as a valuable asset in order
to frame thought in its "circumstance" (Ortega y Gasset). While this is
an essential endeavour in any era, now, in the digital age, this task is
indispensable.
Editors’ Introduction




      We are deeply indebted to all the professors who took part in the
Meeting, and to the organizations which sponsored this international
Symposium: Xunta de Galicia, Diputación de A Coruña, Universidad de
Santiago de Compostela. We were also assisted by Galicia Milenio
Thinking Forum in organizational tasks. To all of them we extend our
gratitude, as well as to the editors of Critical Hermeneutics Journal for
allowing the outcome of this International Meeting to be published in
its pages.
