Las raìces intelectuales de la crisis del marxismo en la interpretaciòn de Augusto Del Noce
2022
In the last thirty years, that is since the end of the Cold War, it has occurred a singular phenomenon in the democratic societies: several traditional communist parties have left the old Marxist ideology, by maintaining many aspects of the liberal one (primacy of freedom on equality, free market...) giving up their classical revolutionary calling. My thesis is that the italian philosopher Augusto Del Noce has given one of the most remarkable interpretations both of the historical and theoretical collapse of Marxism and of this paradoxical embrace between the ex-communist parties and a kind of liberal individualism.
La actualidad de Augusto Del Noce
2021
Este número monográfico de Cultura Económica está dedicado al filósofo italiano Augusto Del Noce (1910-1989), que en los últimos años ha despertado un interés creciente en el contexto internacional como lo demuestra la traducción de algunas de sus importantes obras al inglés y al español. El interés por sus escritos tiene que ver tanto con su vigor especulativo, que sin duda lo convierte en uno de los principales filósofos católicos italianos y europeos del siglo XX, como con sus muchas intuiciones que hoy, unos treinta años después de su muerte, han encontrado una sustancial confirmación

A lack of meaning?
2020
This article explores the ‘lack of meaning’ in contemporary society as a consequence of Western dualist thought paradigms and ontologies, via Gilles Deleuze’s concept of ‘reactive nihilism’ following the colloquial murder of God. The article then explores processual and new materialist approaches in the understanding of the lived and carnal self, arguing for immanent and senseful materiality as an ethical platform for religious, environmental, and societal solidarity for tomorrow. For the theoretical justification of the processual approach in understanding the enfleshed self, the article employs John Dupré’s processual approach in the philosophy of biology, as well as Astrida Neimani’s cri…
Submitting “Alternative Facts” to Debate: A Weberian Perspective on Post-truth Politics
2018
'Oxford Dictionaries' chose “post-truth” as the “Word of the Year 2016”, while the association of German linguists (Gesellschaft für deutsche Sprache) did the same for '“postfaktische Politik'”. “Alternative facts”, launched by Kellyanne Conway concerning the attendance at Donald Trump’s inaugural, was a third variant in this cluster. In this article, I shall discuss Max Weber’s parliamentary perspective on the critique of given facts and of the powers of science in relation to the debates around post-truth politics. A critical assessment of Leo Strauss’s critique of Weber as a nihilist and relativist introduces the problematic. One aim of the article is to illustrate how even trivial sloga…
Enfermedad, hundimiento, derrota. La caída de Albert Camus
2017
La enfermedad fue un acontecimiento importante en la vida de Albert Camus, que fue marcado por la tuberculosis desde su juventud y se vio obligado a luchar contra ella hasta su muerte. A pesar de ello, los efectos de la enfer- medad en sí misma en la obra literaria de Camus no han sido estudiados como se podría esperar. Este texto está centrado en La Caída (La Chute), una pequeña novela donde la enfermedad tiene un fuerte contenido simbólico que abarca el terreno de la antropología, la moral y la política. Illness was a major event in the life of Albert Camus. He was marked by tuberculosis since his youth and he had to fight the disease till his death. Despite this fact, the effects of the …
The Perception of Causality in Light of Process Ontology
2015
Human perception has an important emotional dimension. Besides having a “presentational” element that dominates the high cognitive activities of human beings, there are certain “densities of feelings,” which are inextricably intertwined with the presentational contents of our perceptual states. This does not mean that human perception is just instinctive, irrational, or intrinsically subjective. The Whiteheadian scheme allows us to determine the nature of the “emotional background” of perception without falling into the traps of subjectivism, representationalism, or substantialism. The feeling which I call “the sense of physicality” is just one of the elements of this emotional dimension in…
