Un cuento de robots : La hija cibernética de descartes

2021

French philosopher René Descartes is today valued as a forerunner of the studies of human mind, artificial intelligence and robotic systems. Throughout his work there are large references to automata and the possibility of artificial life, as well as an assessment of the differences between rational behavior of human beings and the purely mechanical of animals and automata. In addition to these references, there is a fable about the creation by the philosopher of an automaton that replicated his deceased daughter Francine, a story that is well known among the French and Anglo-Saxon specialists, but not so much in the Spanish ones, which is what settles this short work

The Gender of the Cartesian Mind, Body, and Mind-Body Union

2019

The chapter examines what we can know about gender from the perspective of the three primary notions introduced by Descartes in his correspondence with Princess Elisabeth of Bohemia. The first section discusses how the primitive notion of the mind strengthens the idea that “the mind has no sex”, an idea that was further developed by the Cartesian and early feminist François Poulain de la Barre. The next section focuses on the notion of the body and analyses what Descartes has to say about gender in his anatomical writings. The little known posthumously published notes Primae cogitationes circa generationem animalium receive particular attention. Here Descartes assumes a difference between t…

Merleau-Ponty's reading of Descartes : from Cartesian duality to the new ontological structure

2019

The duality between the mind and the body has been haunting a wide field of academic discussions since René Descartes’ (1596–1650) philosophy. The problem not only concerns the inexplicable relation between immaterial and material substances, but also the relation between reflective thought and the unreflected experience: there are two fields of evidence which both have their own types of clarity, but which remain obscure for each other. The lived and practical experience is opposed to the objective knowledge of the sciences. Cartesian philosophy is established on the refusal of the non-philosophical life, which, nevertheless, it cannot refuse. This work offers an investigation of Maurice M…

Merleau-Pontyn Descartes-tulkinta : kartesiolaisesta duaalisuudesta uuteen ontologiseen rakenteeseen

2019

Englanninkielisen lectio praecursorian pohjalta suomennetussa artikkelissa johdatellaan väitöskirjan peruskysymykseen yleistajuisesti ja esittelevästi. Maurice Merleau-Pontyn (1908–1961) tulkinta René Descartesin (1596–1650) filosofiasta on omaperäinen erityisesti siksi, että hän ei pyri vain muodostamaan historiallisesti korrektia käsitystä Descartesin teoksista vaan hänen tavoitteensa on ennenkaikkea näyttää mikä Descartesin muodostamissa filosofisissa kysymyksissä ja rakenteissa vaikuttaa yhä nykyfilosofiassa. Merleau-Pontyn kriittisyys suhteessa Descartesiin ei ole vain irtiotto vaan myös uudelleenajattelua. Immateriaalisen ja materiaalisen substanssin välisen erottelun sijaan keskiöön …

Introduction

2019

The introduction gives a brief overview of some important developments in recent scholarship on René Descartes and Baruch Spinoza. It is argued that there has been a shift of focus, away from Descartes-the-dualist towards an interest in Descartes’ ethics and his conception of the human being as a union of mind and body. This turn has also given rise to new perspectives on the relations between Descartes and Spinoza. After having presented the area of research covered by the volume, the introduction offers short presentations of the individual chapters. These are divided into three parts: the first part focusing on different features of Cartesian persons; the second discussing different aspe…

Il pranzo di Babele. Misunderstanding nel film "Il pranzo di Babette"

2013

“Il pranzo di Babette” (1987), trasposizione cinematografica del regista danese Gabriel Axel dell’omonimo racconto di Karen Blixen, inizialmente contenuto nella raccolta di scritti “Anectodes of Destiny” pubblicato a firma Isak Dinensen (pseudonimo della sua autrice) ha riscosso un unanime consenso di critica e pubblico, vincendo prestigiosi premi quali l’Oscar come miglior film straniero e la menzione speciale della giuria ecumenica del festival di Cannes, sbancando i botteghini in giro per il mondo. Il film è diventato un grande classico del cinema culinario, in grado di radicarsi nel senso comune e diventare pertanto fonte di ispirazione per letterati e cinefili che ne hanno analizzato …

Sylvia Plath kuoleman käsikirjoittajana

2015

Artikkelissa tarkastellaan itsemurhan ja lapsenmurhan kysymyksiä amerikkalaisen kirjailijan Sylvia Plathin (1932−1963) tuotannossa sekä kirjailijan elämään kohdistuvissa representaatioissa. Analysoin Plathille omistetun nettifoorumin Sylvia Plath Forum kirjoituksia sekä erityisesti runon ”Edge” tulkintoja Plath-tutkimuksessa. Teoreettisena lähtökohtana toimii René Girardin mimeettisen halun teoria. Plathin elämäntarinan kohdalla mimeettisen halun tematiikan tekee relevantiksi kolmiodraama, joka rakentui Plathin, hänen aviopuolisonsa kirjailija Ted Hughesin ja tämän rakastajattaren Assia Wevillin välille. Hughes toimi kolmiodraaman kärkenä, naisten jaetun halun kohteena, mutta eräissä elämäk…

Escepticismo metódico y subjetividad en Descartes y Hegel

1997

En la 'introducción' de la fenomenología del espíritu Hegel caracteriza el proceso de la experiencia como un 'camino de desesperación', que el describe en términos de un 'escepticismo que se consuma'. El artículo defiende una interpretación de esta forma de escepticismo en contraste con el escepticismo metódico cartesiano, y muestra las diferentes concepciones del sujeto y de la formación filosófica que subyacen a esos dos escepticismos.
