World Philosophy Day is a day to celebrate the value of philosophy for human thought, culture and society. It is also a day to encourage philosophical dialogue and reflection on the significant challenges of our time. UNESCO proclaimed World Philosophy Day in 2005, following the success of Philosophy Day at UNESCO, which had been celebrated every year since 20021. Resolution 33 C/Resolution 37 states that philosophy is a discipline that encourages critical and independent thought and is capable of working towards a better understanding of the world and promoting tolerance and peace. Furthermore, philosophy can help to consolidate the genuine foundations of mutual understanding and dialogue among peoples and cultures. It can also play a significant role in fulfilling the objectives of UNESCO, as it can provide the conceptual bases of principles and values on which world peace depends: democracy, human rights, justice, and equality.
Likewise, philosophy can also help to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century, such as the impact of globalization, the ethical implications of scientific and technological development, the preservation of cultural diversity, and the promotion of intercultural dialogue. Therefore, it is critical for individuals and nations to know about philosophy and implement the texture and spirit into common and public life.
