L'esdeveniment, la mirada i el teatre de la veritat

2012

Analysis of the human sciences discourse according M. Foucault's views on relationships between power, truth and fiction. The emergence of human sciences allowed to reduce human reality to a subject of scientific study. Foucault tried to capture this «event» putting it on stage, showing how, below the placid staging of its games of truth, struggles, violence and battles are hidden. In this sense, Foucault understood philosophical activity as an act of indiscipline, or as an art of reasoned indocility, insofar as thinking turned into experiment would allow us not only to problematize what we are, but it would also provide us with tactical indicators to guide us in the complex theatre of trut…

La crisis de la humanidad europea en pleno apogeo tras Husserl

2008

The author considers the way in which he as a representative of the Goethe-institute experienced and was constrained by the cultural and educational politics of the Federal Republic of Germany. The internal and external circumstances did not permit a rational discussion of the disaster that was National Socialism. Whilst all that would have been required was to remember the deliberations of Edmund Husserl in his lecture 'Philosophy and the crisis of European humanity,' 1935.

Liberación e interculturalidad. La refundamentación del sujeto como inter-sujeto

2011

Philosophy of Liberation raises the fundamental question for the possible realization of genuinely ethical praxis, of a liberated and authentic life. In fact, this conditio sine qua non implies that the category of 'liberation' does not belong only to the contingent dimension expressed by the sociopolitical situation in which being Latin-American people, or of the Third World, but point to the very constitution of subjectivity as intersubjectivity and, therefore, liberated and liberating. Then the 'liberation' modifies the conditions generated by each culture and the subject becomes able to recognize itself as based on relationships with others. Thus, subjectivity reveals its fundamental fo…

La transformación ética de la racionalidad económica en Amartya Sen. Una recuperación de Adam Smith

2006

The aim of this article is to show the necessity of includying ethic elements in the economic rationality, that goes beyond the self-interest and egoism. From a critic of the homo oeconomicus and an exposition of the deficiencies of the egoist rationality, we see how the incorporation of ethic elements is a reflection of the real and rational behaviour of the individuals. Nowadays, Amartya Sen is the one who mainly proposes this theory, but it has in its basis the ethical recuperation of the Adam Smith's work. Finally, we show how the sympathy and commitment are two of the elements of this ethical rationality, but also the values like the confidence or loyalty, which goes beyond a simple ec…

Copérnico y el humanismo renacentista

2008

This article analyzes the Copernicus' position in the Renaissanse Humanism. Copernico belongs in time (1473-1543) and literary activities to the second Humanism. His printed work within the Humanae litterae is merely symbolic. But his scientific work reflects the so called 'dream of humanism', and that is to conquer a new civilization by the means of languages and classic cultures recovering. Far from the controversy against the contemporary science (scholasticism), Copernicus' references and criticisms to the greek and latin authors act as a support for the new model of Universe.

L'evolució filosòfica de Josep Lluís Blasco.

2005

In this paper Josep Lluís Blasco¿s philosophical evolution is expounded. If we leave aside an initial tentative period, during which he studied Whitehead¿s and Heidegger¿s metaphysics, Marxism, and analytical philosophy, we can clearly distinguish in it two periods. In the first one, till 1975, he assumed the presuppositions of analytical philosophy of ordinary language, and proceeded with the idea of improving its method, particularly categorical analysis. In the second one, from 1979 on, although still connected to the analytical tradition, he did not join any trend or school, and started his reflection on transcendentality. With this line, presented as an alternative way to Quine¿s natur…

Creer en Darwin: sobre las relaciones entre marco científico e interpretación filosófica.

2003

John Dewey¿s Experience and Nature (1925) is an attempt to draw the metaphysical consequences of modern developments in the natural sciences, particularly Darwinism. Recently, Richard Rorty has criticized Dewey¿s metaphysical stance, which he proposes to replace by a more straightforward compromise with historicism. This paper argues that Rorty misreads the meaning of historicism, and fails to make sense of the naturalistic attitude expressed in Dewey¿s metaphysics.

(Una) meditació nishidiana

2011

According to Nishida, the logic of subject neither allows a proper treatment of the problem of completeness nor eliminates the Cartesian anxiety. He proposes therefore its replacement by the logic of predicate, here understood as a place (basho) which, in the end, turns out to be nothingness. After considering the difficulty of translating Japanese to European languages and its ability to allow a nonsubstantive treatment of mind, a consideration is offered of the solution of those problems by the new logic. This logic would make feasible the expression of a rational mysticism in line with the middle way school and zen, which is compatible with a naturalist solution of the same problems. The…
