Philosophy needs to be properly analyzed and studied. The discipline that handles this is called metaphilosophy. In principle, philosophy is distinguished by the type of questions it raises. Likewise, there are various motivations to start philosophizing. In addition, philosophy as an attitude has specific characteristics such as critical and totalizing capacity. Now, there are obvious metaphilosophical problems. For example, the sense of asking ourselves questions that have no obvious answer. Other problems are those of the definition of philosophy, its orientation and its unity or diversity. Even, the issues of progress and the purpose of philosophy turn out to be very relevant for contemporary reflection.

A reflection on the current relevance of philosophy is presented, contrasting the anti-philosophical positions with those that promote this type of discipline. It is mentioned that philosophy is not only a type of knowledge, but also represents a journey through ideas that a subject makes to find unity in reality.

The objective of this paper is to redefine the concept of political corruption by affirming that it mainly involves the idea of degradation of the concept of authority and implies the violation of established moral limits. This work is based on the qualitative approach; therefore, we have resorted to the reading and consultation of relevant and specialized sources in political philosophy. In this sense, taking philosophy as a basis and with the purpose of constructing solid arguments, the analysis of such information will be carried out. As a result, it has been suggested that the need for good education and knowledge of legal aspects should be emphasized so that the population can oppose the bad ruler. It is concluded that a corrupt government is one that opposes democracy, totalizes power, assumes authoritarianism as doctrine and does not respect citizens.
