Esta obra trata sobre el ser humano. El mundo humano. En su propio espacio-tiempo. Y en el universo. Es el ser que ejecuta un salto cósmico único. Una eclosión humana. Un faro de luz, vida y quehaceres que no tiene limites. La humanidad es una especie ungida, singular, signada. Con valores, construcciones, sentidos y descubrimientos. Sin ocultar sus caidas y despropositos. Asi brega incansablemente. Y este estado crucial no se advierte en toda su magnitud.Se opaca. Hace falta una teoria lo suficientemente abarcadora para conocer mejor lo hecho, las creaciones continuas y las enmiendas necesarias.Desde aqui se presenta una teoria-practica capaz de explicar las dimensiones y perspectivas que conforman el salto humano cosmico. En base a investigaciones y analisis se han seleccionado ocho-n dimensiones consideradas imprescindibles: lenguaje - simbolo - biologia - naturaleza - individuo - sociedad - norma - poder. A las que se suman y multiplican n dimensiones adicionales. Ese conjunto abre la libertad humana entre los innumerables atributos que enriquecen este camino. Luego, ciencia, matematica, filosofia, tecnologia, arte, costumbres, practicas ?especificas y confluyentes? elaboran un mundo y un ser humano singular y multiple, que salta incansable en el cosmos. Es una propuesta conceptual y operativa que permite abordar mejor esta problematica, con una arquitectura algoritmica, interpretativa y poetica; y con las praxis y acciones mas libres.El ser humano es una excepcionalidad del universo. Aunque existan compañias. Hay una plataforma existencial fundamental que nos proyecta al infinito. Es el salto humano en el cosmos.

ECPA Top Shelf Book Cover AwardWe live in a culture of commodification. People are too often defined by what they do or own; theyre treated as means to an end or cogs in a machine. What goes missing is a deep sense of personhoodthe belief that all humans are unique subjects with inherent worth and the right to self-determination in authentic communion with others.In a world dominated by things, Paul Louis Metzger argues, we must work hard to account for one anothers personhood. We need to cultivate relational structures that honor every humans dignity in vital interpersonal community. The theological and philosophical framework known as personalism can help guide us toward such a culture. Drawing from a wide range of thought leaders, including Martin Luther King Jr. and Pope John Paul II, Metzger presents a personalist moral vision founded on the Christian ideals of faith, hope, and love. He demonstrates how this moral compass can help us navigate a pluralistic world by applying it to a variety of pressing ethical issues, including abortion, genetic engineering, immigration, drone warfare, and more.More Than Things is perfect as a supplemental text for philosophy or ethics courses and for those who want to go deeper in the study of human dignity and worth. Ultimately human personhood begins with the personal, triune God, who invites us to live more fully as human beings. With this book, learn to refuse to reduce fellow humansand yourselfto mere abstractions or objects, and follow the example of Jesus in honoring the value of every person and of creaturely life as a whole.

La presente obra ha procurado ser fruto de una reflexión y análisis filosóficos de carácter ético, político y jurídico, en torno a dos nociones:“lo justo” y “el don”. Esto, en los trabajos de diverso

Desde hace una centuria la regeneración de las razas ha sido el bastión del proyecto para construir la República de Colombia. Nuestras grandes personalidades intelectuales, formadas tanto en Europa como en Estados Unidos, se plantearon desde la epoca republicana el mismo problema: regenerar la raza de las taras biologicas inherentes a su especie. Y para ello el falso humanismo, para hablar como Michel Foucault, se hizo presente de inmediato: el mestizaje, las campañas de nutricion, las politicas de higienizacion, la limpieza racial, la formacion educativa y cultural, las misiones religiosas para cambiar las malas costumbres de este pueblo degenerado. El etnografo Jose Maria Samper en 1861 resume bien este proyecto cuando decia que Regenerar era "transformar esta poblacion aletargada y convertirla en una poblacion activa y laboriosa". Esta "es la gran tarea que los poderes publicos y los hombres pensadores estan llamados a resolver en este pais".Las fuentes estan constituidas por documentos de la expedicion botanica, archivos eclesiasticos, casos clinicos, resoluciones higienicas, procesos juridicos y legislativos, iconografias medicas y religiosas, referencias y acontecimientos que proporcionaron una nueva valoracion de los cuerpos y la enfermedad hacia los umbrales del siglo XVIII a traves de la botanica, hasta la implementacion de los grandes paliativos modernos de la salvacion en pleno corazon del siglo xx, en donde las tecnicas de vigilancia y correccion son capturadas por la divina mecanica de la prevencion del proyecto estatal. Nuestros grandes pensadores y dirigentes politicos se preguntaron siempre ¿como transformar los instintos semisalvajes de nuestras razas primitivas en algo viable?, ¿como despertar la falta de ambicion del indio chibcha?, ¿como controlar la embriaguez y amor por el juego del pueblo antioqueño?, ¿como curar la sangre infectada por la fiebre de la barbarie del caucano?, ¿como eliminar la inferioridad animal del zambo? Este libro vale como una arqueologia del sueño eugenesico de muchos de nuestros actuales dirigentes.

El ordenamiento jurídico tradicional, así como las teorías del derecho realistas y analíticas, no dan cuenta de lo que de verdad determina la inclusión o la exclusión jurídica de un ciudadano. Tanto los movimientos anti como alterglobalizacion advierten este fenomeno.Hoy mas que nunca los ordenamientos juridicos transnacionales y globalizadores que no estan limitados espacialmente y tienen ademas la pretension universalizante de comprender en su jurisdiccion a todo ser humano desafian las fronteras de los Estados. Sin embargo, ¿es posible un orden juridico que pueda incluir a todos, sin exclusion alguna?Hans Lindahl lo tiene claro: no es posible incluir sin excluir. Entonces, ¿como podemos evitar caer en el relativismo? ¿Es posible una politica que no postule un orden juridico omninclusivo, pero que a la vez tampoco acepte resignadamente la paralisis politica que se da frente a la marginacion generada por los procesos de globalizacion?A partir de estos interrogantes, y desde perspectivas tanto conceptuales como empiricas y normativas del derecho, Lindahl abre un amplio campo de indagacion y reflexion, tan necesarios en tiempos actuales.

Kurz vor seinem fruhen Tod 1819 hielt Solger in Berlin Vorlesungen uber Asthetik, die schon der Gegenstand seines Hauptwerks, des Dialogs "Erwin. Vier Gesprache uber das Schone und die Kunst", gewesen war. Anders als der komplexe Dialog sind jedoch die Vorlesungen, die nur in einer 1829 veroffentlichten Nachschrift seines Schulers K.W.L. Heyse uberliefert sind, sehr viel zuganglicher und verstandlicher gehalten.In drei Teilen entwickelt Solger hier eine spekulative asthetische Theorie, deren systematischen Mittelpunkt der romantische Begriff der Ironie bildet. Im ersten Teil ("Vom Schonen") geht es um den Begriff der Idee des Schonen, der zweite handelt "Von der Kunst" im Allgemeinen, der dritte von den "besonderen" Kunstformen, die er nach universellen (Poesie), vom Symbol getragenen (Skulptur, Architektur) und von der Allegorie bestimmten (Malerei, Musik) Kunstformen unterteilt. Einen Hohepunkt seiner asthetischen Reflexion bildet eine von profunden literarischen Kenntnissen getragene Theorie des Tragischen.Solgers Asthetik versucht eine Brucke zwischen Romantik und Idealismus zu schlagen und wurde von den Philosophen der Hegel-Schule wie Rosenkranz und Vischer sowie von Dichtern wie Heine und Hebbel als die "andere" Asthetik des deutschen Idealismus betrachtet. Sie fut auf der Hinfalligkeit des Schonen und auf der systematischen Ausarbeitung eines tragischen Ironie-Begriffs. Daruber hinaus entwickelt Solger eine Lehre vom Symbolischen und Allegorischen als dialektisch ineinander verflochtene Strukturbegriffe der Kunst sowie das erste deduktive System der Kunste, das die einzelnen Kunste und kunstlerischen Fahigkeiten, wie Sinnlichkeit, Phantasie, Witz oder Enthusiasmus, in einen koharenten hierarchischen und organischen Zusammenhang bringt.

Freedom is the key issue for both Karol Wojtyla and Immanuel Kant that connects the Polish with the German philosopher. This analysis aims to show the importance of Kants ethics in the work of Karol Wojtyla.Kants paradigm shift in the anthropological thought was revolutionary. The categorical imperative obliges each person to act morally and thus elevates them. It is the foundation of human dignity, not only for Kant but also for Wojtyla. Who is man? Is man free? Or is materialistic man determined and arrested in immanence? What should man do? Man is gifted with freedom. He is a person because he has the capacity to act. Wojtyla and Kant put special emphasis on a persons power of selfdetermination that reveals itself through the experience as a freely acting person. The realisation of the personal norm the categorical imperative was defined by both thinkers as a fulfilment of freedom. Freedom shall be fulfilled in the responsible act, which reveals the persons power of love.

What is reality? Is it what appears to me, or what appears to most, or even what appears to some minds? Or should it rather be characterised as that which resists, as that which does not depend on me, or as that which exists anyway? And is the sense of "what is real" actually grasped by such idealist and realist conceptions? German philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (16461716) addressed the different aspects of this difficult issue through sustained and constant attention. By examining these aspects, the contributions gathered in this volume follow a dual purpose. First, they intend to reflect the diversity of the objects that triggered Leibnizs thoughts. In particular, they provide new insights into Leibnizs understanding of not only the reality of dreams, the properties and relations of things, the soul, and mathematical objects, but also the reality of space and time or the theological problem of the Eucharist. Second, they intend to overcome the overly unilateral debate between the idealist and realist readings of Leibnizs last metaphysics that have pervaded interpretations over the past 30 years.

The volume gathers a selection of nineteen contributions from an international conference on the seventeenth-century philosopher G. W. Leibniz held at Rice University in Houston. It focuses on the writings by the young Leibniz on a variety of subjects such as mathematics, physics, metaphysics, logic, theology and politics. It also contains a subsection with contributions on the much-debated question concerning the impact of Baruch de Spinozas philosophy on Leibniz. The objective of the volume is partly to consider the early texts as philosophical statements in their own right, partly to contribute to the understanding of the evolution and genesis of Leibnizs philosophy by tracing the tenets of his mature philosophy back to their origin.

Esta colección de ensayos reúne, por un lado, textos redactados en 2017 (con alguna excepción) y, por otro, artículos escritos entre los años 2001 y 2009. Versan sobre temas sumamente heterogéneos, y algunos constituyen meros fragmentos de lo que posteriormente inspiraria una obra mas sistematica y detallada. En la primera seccion figuran articulos como ¿Por que existe el arte?", "El dilema del cristianismo" y "Principios de una teoria social"; entre los ensayos mas antiguos cabe mencionar "Proyecto de Summa Universalis", "Esbozo de la teoria de la superforma" y "Hacia una cultura de la fraternidad". Reconozco que mis opiniones han cambiado sustancialmente en la mayoria de los temas que abordo en los escritos mas tempranos. A dia de hoy soy mucho mas critico con la metafisica, con el poder de la razon humana para alcanzar conocimientos que trasciendan la experiencia, con las religiones y con la teologia natural. Sin embargo, me ha parecido mas honesto preservar los textos tal y como los redacte entonces, sin introducir modificaciones (salvo que hubiera detectado errores tipograficos nitidos, pues aunque ya no comparta muchas de las tesis principales en metafisica, historia de las religiones y teologia, siempre he considerado iluminador contemplarnos en el espejo de nuestra propia evolucion intelectual. Solo asi es posible percatarse de que quizas, sin haber asumido esas visiones de las que ahora claramente discrepamos, jamas hubieramos desarrollado las ideas ulteriores que hoy definen nuestro pensamiento."

Alasdair MacIntyre is one of the major philosophers of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century. Best known for After Virtue, first published in 1981, his output spans seven decades and has been unusually wide-ranging in its impact. As MacIntyre enters his tenth decade, this book pays tribute not just to his work, but to its influence across disciplines outside philosophy. Beginning with an intellectual biography, the chapters that follow, written by leading scholars in their fields, explore MacIntyres contributions to theology, Thomism, moral philosophy, classical philosophy, political philosophy, Marxism, the Frankfurt School, communication, business ethics, sociology, education, law, and therapeutic method. Essential reading for scholars from across these disciplines, and for anyone who wishes to understand MacIntyres contributions, Learning from MacIntyre not only helps readers to appreciate what we may learn from this influential thinker, but also illustrates his works continuing significance going forward.

In The Mystery and the World, Maria Clara Bingemer explores how the place of religion in society has dramatically shifted since the Enlightenment. The modern era is characterised by a major change in humanitys fundamental desires that means that reason has taken the place of faith. Human beings, in their ongoing search for a scientific understanding of the world, have drifted away from seeking any essence of transcendence in their lives. Bingemer examines this transition and how, especially inthe postmodern era, it has led to technology and superficial happiness becoming all-important as opposed to the more sacred sense of contentment that governed us for centuries prior to the Enlightenment. In her discussion, however, Bingemer demonstrates that we as humans have not lost our innate desire to believe in a higher power and that, even in our world of instant satisfaction, we still need to fill the void left by religion. Through well-researched analysis of the modern era and discussion of some of the mystics of more recent times, she reveals to readers how our religious belief, whilst changed, is not dead and is still an important aspect of our existence.

William James called his classic work, The Varieties of Religious Experience, a study in human nature. For James, it is a fundamental feature of human nature that we have a conscious and a subconscious mind, and that the subconscious mind is deeply implicated in the religious life, especially in conversion and other experiences of spiritual enlightenment. In The Religious Life, Donald Capps addresses religious melancholy, the div ided self and discordant personality, religious conversion, thesaintly character, and the prayerful consciousness. He contrasts the cases of two clergymen - one deeply troubled, the other exemplary of the spiritual person. Aimed at general readers, Capps work makes William James, a popular author in his own day, accessible to a modern audience.

Religion is central to Durkheims theory of society, and his work laid most of the foundations of the sociology of religion. Daring and brilliant though his analysis was, its bold claims and questionable premises has made it the subject of ongoing academic debate. Durkheims work on the subject reached a peak with the publication in 1912 of what turned out to be a classic in its field, The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life. No other book has explained Durkheims views on religion using thewhole corpus of his writings. Dr Pickering shows how Durkheims position developed and explains the themes and theories that run through Durkheims work. This includes Durkheims attitude towards secularisation and Christian churches, as well as hisnotion of the contemporary cult of the individual.

This volume aims to take up the theme of the relationship between faith and pestilence, which, despite its topicality, is rooted in a long-term dimension that involves different areas of knowledge. A markedly disciplinary look brings together historical, theological, political, and juridical analyses and thus allows to understand this relationship through paradigms, turning points, continuities, and discontinuities. Such a wide perspective makes it possible to observe how the theme has crossed ages and religions, from the fathers of the church, to medicine in medieval Islam, up to contemporary times, with Ivan Illichs harsh critique of forced medicalization and the issues that emerged during the Covid-19 pandemic.

This study is concerned with Giordano Brunos ars memoriae and the relation between his works on mnemonics and philosophy in the first phase of his reflection (15821585). The hermeneutic hypothesis that will be explored is that it is Giordano Brunos De umbris idearum that first reveals his new elaboration of the notion of order, which will then be further unfolded in the philosophical works published in London, especially in the notions of nature, language, and praxis developed therein. The research statement is explored into more detail on a methodological level, through a discussion of Hans Blumenbergs interpretation of Giordano Bruno, and on an analytical level, through a metaphorological interpretation of the inward writing and the shadow metaphors in the De umbris idearum.

After the arrival of Buddhism toward the end of the Eastern Han dynasty (25220), Buddhism found itself in a fierce conflict with indigenous Chinese thought. The controversies between Confucianism and Buddhism reached their peak in the time of the Northern and Southern dynasties (420589). By then, these two ideologies had gone through a long period of mutual conflict. When Buddhism spread East from China and entered Korea and Japan, a wide array of intense debates was aroused in 14th and 15th century Korea and in 17th century Japan that resulted in an ultimate confluence between Confucianism and Buddhism. This volume tells the story of the debate between Buddhism and Confucianism in East Asia and explains the reason why the confluence between these two systems of thought is possible.
