Investigating the nature of living things, this text defines the soul not as a separate spiritual entity but as the form or essence of the body. Aristotle explores the hierarchy of souls, from the nutritive soul of plants to the sensitive soul of animals and the rational soul of humans. He analyzes perception, imagination, and intellect, proposing a deep connection between the biological organism and its animating principle. This inquiry bridges the gap between biology and psychology, offering a holistic view of life.

Diez grandes ideas de la sabiduría antigua para vivir más felices hoy, del autor de La mente de los justos y La generación ansiosa.Jonathan Haidt, uno de los más destacados representantes de la psicologia positiva una rama de la psicologia que busca comprender los procesos que subyacen a las cualidades y emociones positivas del ser humano conjuga la precision cientifica con la amenidad y la calidad literarias para presentar 10 grandes ideas que Haidt rescata de la sabiduria antigua (los Upanishad, el Bhagavad Gita o los proverbios de Buda), China (las Analectas de Confucio, el Tao te ching o los escritos de Mencio) y las culturas del Mediterraneo (el Viejo y el Nuevo Testamento, los filosofos griegos y latinos, el Coran). Capitulo a capitulo Haidt desgrana cada una de esas ideas y las contrasta con los ultimos hallazgos de la ciencia contemporanea. El resultado es una fresca y enriquecedora guia que, alejada de los manuales de autoayuda al uso, desvela los pasos que seguir en nuestro camino a la felicidad.

Diálogo complejo, rico y versátil, el Timeo de Platón nos ofrece una visión holística del origen del universo, del ser humano y de la intrincada relación entre el macrocosmos y el microcosmos. Con una capacidad extraordinaria para combinar saberes procedentes de diferentes tradiciones y ambitos, Platon nos presenta el cosmos como modelo y entidad reguladora, mientras que el ser humano aparece como un universo en miniatura, reflejo perfecto de la armonia cosmica.Timeo, en definitiva, representa la sintesis mas acabada del pensamiento platonico, donde confluyen decadas de reflexion filosofica, matematica, cosmologica y politica. Es el dialogo en el que Platon despliega con mayor amplitud su comprension del mundo.Timeo es el dialogo mas divino de Platon, pues trata del origen del universo y de la naturaleza del alma. PROCLO

El leve respirar de la tierra es un viaje al interior. Es el resultado de una búsqueda interior que parece infinita. Cada página es un mundo de vibraciones y bellas alegorías que llenan la mente de ese sagrado movimiento de los ojos; en donde la realidad parece un sueño y los sueños parecen realidad. Cada pagina es un modo de entender, una compleja formula alquimica que por alguna razon sabemos comprender verdaderamente. Pareciera importante pensar que nuestro conocimiento ahonda en la belleza del tiempo; en la belleza de lo que sucede realmente, en el profundo latido del corazon. El ritmo de las olas del mar, del corazon, del respirar de la vida son las metaforas que llenan estas paginas de elevacion. Cada movimiento de nuestro corazon nos lleva a la profunda revelacion del respirar de la tierra; a la sensible verdad de nuestro tacto; a la verdadera forma de ver. Este libro intenta ser parte del canto de la vida, un signo mas para aquellos viajeros que sepan llegar al limite de la percepcion humana. Nuestro corazon es un bello camino que con nuestro intelecto podemos llegar a comprender y agradecer el existir de cada cosa en este universo. Nuestro mas profundo amor es siempre lo que le otorga sentido al cosmos, como si nuestro amor iluminara el cielo estrellado, cada accion, cada pensamiento, cada respirar. Y ese sentido suele ser mas profundo que aquello que esperabamos que fuera el cosmos. La vida es un camino que tenemos que recorrer seamos quienes seamos. La vida es corazon.

The Symposium is a philosophical text by Plato dated c. 385370 BC. It depicts a friendly contest of extemporaneous speeches given by a group of notable men attending a banquet. The men include the philosopher Socrates, the general and political figure Alcibiades, and the comic playwright Aristophanes. The speeches are to be given in praise of Eros, who is the god of love and desire, and the son of Aphrodite.Of all the works of Plato the Symposium is the most perfect in form, and may be truly thought to contain more than any commentator has ever dreamed of; or, as Goethe said of one of his own writings, more than the author himself knew. For in philosophy as in prophecy glimpses of the future may often be conveyed in words which could hardly have been understood or interpreted at the time when they were uttered (compare Symp.)which were wiser than the writer of them meant, and could not have been expressed by him if he had been interrogated about them. Yet Plato was not a mystic, nor in any degree affected by the Eastern influences which afterwards overspread the Alexandrian world. He was not an enthusiast or a sentimentalist, but one who aspired only to see reasoned truth..

"The Ghost of Pleasure Why happiness vanishes the moment you try to catch it" explores the "Paradox of Hedonism." Philosophers from John Stuart Mill to Viktor Frankl have noted that happiness cannot be pursued directly. Like a butterfly, the more you chase it, the more it eludes you. It only lands on your shoulder when you are focused on something elselike a purpose, a relationship, or a task.Philosopher Nathaniel Cross explains why the modern obsession with "being happy" is making us miserable. When we make happiness a goal, we constantly monitor our mood ("Am I happy yet?"), which interrupts the very flow state that generates joy."The Ghost of Pleasure" advises readers to aim for meaning instead of mood. It is a guide to "oblique" living, teaching that satisfaction is the unintended side-effect of a life well-lived, not a destination you can navigate to directly.

The Catholic restoration in England (1553-1558), led by Queen Mary Tudor and Cardinal Reginald Pole, has largely been regarded as violent and reactionary. However, recent studies suggest it involved constructive elements, particularly in clerical education, emphasising preaching over persecution. Pole, who was granted significant ecclesiastical authority, used his extensive network to advance reforms and appointed like-minded scholars to universities and church positions. This doctoral thesis examines the social network behind these reforms, using historical network analysis to understand how relationships shaped educational policies under Pole, Stephen Gardiner, and Mary Tudor.

La Crítica de la razón pura preanuncia una tarea que Kant fue desarrollando a través de los años, y cuya extensión abarca la metafísica de la naturaleza y la de las costumbres. El principio de la primera es la causalidad mecanica (i.e. la necesidad), mientras que el de la segunda es la libertad (o causalidad moral). Con esta division ya queda planteada la cuestion del posible tronco comun a ambos reinos. Kant fue realizando aproximaciones que circunscribian el nucleo de la cuestion. La relacion entre la teoria y la practica es una de ellas. El opusculo titulado ?Acerca del lugar comun: Eso podra ser cierto en la teoria, pero no sirve en la practica?, que aqui publicamos, aparecio en 1793. En el Kant se esfuerza por mostrar que su doctrina moral implica una teoria politica que puede proporcionar principios efectivos para la reforma del Estado y la sociedad.Immanuel Kant (17241804) fue uno de los filosofos mas influyentes de la Ilustracion y de la historia del pensamiento moderno. Nacio y vivio casi toda su vida en Konigsberg, donde se desempeño como profesor universitario durante mas de cuarenta años.Su obra introdujo un giro decisivo en la filosofia al sostener que el conocimiento depende de las estructuras del sujeto que conoce y no solo de los objetos externos. Esta idea, desarrollada en la Critica de la razon pura, redefinio los limites del conocimiento humano. Kant tambien formulo una etica basada en la autonomia y la razon, cuyo nucleo es el imperativo categorico, y realizo aportes fundamentales a la estetica, la filosofia politica y la reflexion sobre el Estado, la libertad y la paz. Su pensamiento influyo de manera profunda y duradera en la filosofia posterior.

"The Ship of Theseus If you change every part are you still the same person?" takes a classic thought experiment from Greek philosophy and applies it to modern personal development. The paradox asks: If you replace every wooden plank of a ship one by one until no original parts remain, is it still the same ship? And if you save the old parts and build a second ship, which one is the original?Philosopher Julian Wise connects this to human biology and psychology. Since our cells regenerate and our beliefs change, we are constantly being "replaced." The book argues that clinging to a fixed identity ("I am just not a math person") is a fallacy because the "you" of yesterday is biologically dead."The Ship of Theseus" is a tool for radical reinvention. It liberates readers from their past by proving that continuity is an illusion. It encourages the conscious rebuilding of the self, plank by plank, without fear of losing ones essence.

Durante el siglo XX, y particularmente en Espana y en Hispanoamerica, el pensamiento catolico experimento una fructuosa efervescencia, una ardorosa vivificacion gracias a la cual, sobre la base de tradiciones intelectuales firmemente asentadas, acontecieron sorprendentes innovaciones, aires nuevos y giros genuinos.Este rebullir intelectual y academico de la reflexion catolica no se consagro principalmente a la teologia revelada, sino que se fajo alli donde libraban batalla sus mas belicosos contendientes: en la politica, en el derecho, en la teoria del conocimiento, en la metafisica.Esta obra expone las aportaciones teoricas de los mas importantes protagonistas de este resurgimiento: Francisco Elias de Tejada, Juan Vallet de Goytisolo, Osvaldo Lira, Francisco Canals, Alvaro dOrs, Jose Maria Petit Sulla, Leopoldo Eulogio Palacios y Rafael Gambra Ciudad.Y lo hace de la mano de la voz autorizada de varios de sus discipulos directos: Jose Miguel Gambra Gutierrez, Miguel Ayuso Torres y Enrique Martinez Garcia, acompanados en esta empresa por voces mas jovenes, pero no menos esclarecedoras.

Este libro ofrece al lector en lengua espanola el primer comentario integral a los celebres Tres discursos para ocasiones supuestas de Sren Kierkegaard.Angel Enrique Garrido Maturano no articula esta tarea por los senderos previsibles: no elabora un estudio filologico, asentado sobre las bases de la vieja critica textual, que sea rico en detalle positivos sobre fuentes, influencias, variantes, etc.; pero tampoco nos ofrece a contracorriente de ciertas lecturas de los textos del filosofo danes un relato edificante, confesionalmente concernido, sobre una cierta modulacion del cristianismo por la que se abogaria.La intencion del autor es, por el contrario, enteramente filosofica: su lectura indaga, de modo fenomenologico y no confesional, en las tres situaciones decisivas de la existencia con las que se confronta y nos confronta el pensamiento de Kierkegaard: el tener que reconocerse a si mismo tal cual uno es, expresado en la confesion, el amor al otro tal cual ese otro es, expresado en el matrimonio, y la muerte inexorable.

El Concilio de Nicea es un evento teológico que marcó un antes y después en la historia de la Iglesia. Lo marcó porque era el primer concilio ecuménico del cristianismo y lo marcó también porque el tema dilucidaba la deidad de Cristo. En realidad, fue el inicio de una serie de seis concilios que provoco la reunion de los obispos de la Iglesia para fundamentar con solidez tan intrincado dogma.Asi que en 2025 estamos conmemorando los 1700 años de su celebracion en la ciudad de Nicea, a unas pocas millas de Estambul, antiguamente llamada Constantinopla. Para la conmemoracion de aquel historico acontecimiento, la revista BYTH ha dedicado todo su undecimo primer numero a dicho concilio. i. Presentacion1.

"The Malice Myth Why people are usually clumsy not evil" is a practical guide to applying "Hanlons Razor": Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. We are biologically wired to detect threats, so when someone cuts us off in traffic or ignores an email, we assume they are out to get us. In reality, they are likely just distracted, tired, or incompetent.Philosopher Ian Calm explains how this "paranoid default" destroys relationships and increases stress. The book provides mental exercises to reframe negative interactions. By assuming "ignorance before evil," we de-escalate conflicts and detach our ego from the situation."The Malice Myth" is a tool for emotional freedom. It teaches readers that the world isnt plotting against them; the world is just messy. Understanding this doesnt excuse bad behavior, but it stops that behavior from ruining your day.
