La complejidad de lo moderno. Una crítica católica entre Carl Schmitt y Augusto Del Noce
2021
n this article I propose to point out some important affinities between Carl Schmitt and Augusto Del Noce. These two important catholic thinkers understood the profound relationship between atheism and technique. This topic is very interesting to understand the "spiritual" genesis of the "affluent society" and, above all, to understand an important aspect that has led to the affirmation of the ideology of neoliberalism. These topics are fundamental to current catholic philosophical thought, which after Vatican CouncilII has to confront Modernity.
Espiritualidad y autoconciencia existencial en Tugendhat
2018
La filosofía de la religión y la mística del último Tugendhat se inserta en el centro de su etapa antropológica, pero guarda relación con toda su obra precedente. Las raíces antropológicas de la espiritualidad se hallan en la autoconciencia práctica o existencial, que se refiere al conjunto de nuestra vida y está expuesta ¿more heideggeriano¿ a la contingencia. A esta responden, según Tugendhat, la religión, con su creencia en seres espirituales (que él rechaza enérgicamente), y diversas formas de místicas orientales impersonales, como el budismo y el tao, que atemperan la voracidad de un yo egocéntrico. El artículo analiza la teorización tugendhatiana de ambos fenómenos y discute su argume…
Atheists in the Foxhole : representation of atheists on American dramatic series Firefly, House M.D., Bones, and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
2011
Työn aiheena oli ateistien representaatio amerikkalaisissa draamasarjoissa Firefly, House, MD, Bones ja Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Lähtökohtana oli selvittää miten heitä representoidaan, eli kuvataan, edustetaan, millaisen vaikutelman ateisteista saa näiden sarjojen perusteella ja kohdellaanko uskonnollisia ja ateisti hahmoja samalla tavalla. Tarkoitukseni oli tutkia näiden neljän sarjan päähenkilöitä ja miettiä onko ateistien representaatio positiivista vai negatiivista. Koska ateisteista oli vaikea löytää akateemisia tutkimuksia käytin apunani verrattavissa olevia tutkimuksia representaatiosta televisiossa. Representaation lisäksi käytin kulttuurin tutkimusta ja populaarikulttuurin tu…
International Scientific Conference "Socio-Political and Religious Ideas and Movements in the 20th-21st Centuries", Latvia, Riga, 4-5 October 2018 : …
2018
The conference facilitated the exchange of ideas and the results of the latest studies on the reciprocity and significance of religious and socially political ideas (ideologies) in contemporary society. In the modern-day ever-changing political situation, an increasing danger to the safety and stability of society is caused by the manipulations of the seemingly traditional conceptions of ethical, religious and cultural values evident in the public discourse and media space. Under the impact of global processes, social anxiety and ethical disorientation facilitate a dangerous trend to trust the populist ideologies and quasi-religious ideas, as well as increase the level of radicalisation of …

Computer Modeling in Philosophy of Religion
2019
AbstractHow might philosophy of religion be impacted by developments in computational modeling and social simulation? After briefly describing some of the content and context biases that have shaped traditional philosophy of religion, this article provides examples of computational models that illustrate the explanatory power of conceptually clear and empirically validated causal architectures informed by the bio-cultural sciences. It also outlines some of the material implications of these developments for broader metaphysical and metaethical discussions in philosophy. Computer modeling and simulation can contribute to the reformation of the philosophy of religion in at least three ways: b…
How to Survive the Anthropocene: Adaptive Atheism and the Evolution of Homo deiparensis
2015
Published version of an article from the journal: Religions. Also available from the publisher: http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/rel6020724 Why is it so easy to ignore the ecological and economic crises of the Anthropocene? This article unveils some of the religious biases whose covert operation facilitates the repression or rejection of warnings about the consequences of extreme climate change and excessive capitalist consumption. The evolved defaults that are most relevant for our purposes here have to do with mental credulity toward religious content (beliefs about supernatural agents) and with social congruity in religious contexts (behaviors shaped by supernatural rituals). Learning how to co…
Victor Schoelcher, abolitionniste et républicain : approche juridique et politique de l'oeuvre d'un fondateur de la République
2000
The aim of this judicial and political analysis is to reveal Victor Schoelcher's decisive influence in the fight for equal rights and for the republic, in the French mainland as well as in its colonies. His well known fight against slavery was just a part of his humanist defense of the republican principles : Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. Schoelcher truly was a founder of the republic, taking part in the barricade insurrections against the 1851 coup and fighting against any kind of slavery or absolutism. His work addressed many aspects of our society, among which : - Slavery and the colonies (legal status of slaves, emancipated slaves and of the colonies) - Rights and liberties of men and …
"Obce ciało" - Krzysztofa Zanussiego dotknięcie mistyki
2016
Krzysztof Zanussi w swoich filmach podejmuje od samego początku tematykę etyczną, często jednak z istotnymi odniesieniami do teologii. Jego najnowszy film, Obce ciało (2014), analiza sporu pomiędzy postawą wiary w Boga a ateizmem oraz między ponadnarodową korporacją, symbolizowaną przez Kris, a Angelo, człowieka wiernego swoim katolickim poglądom, jest w gruncie rzeczy opowieścią o nocy ciemnej, tak jak ją opisał św. Jan od Krzyża. Protagoniści doświadczają obecności bądź nieobecności Boga (Deus absconditus): Włoch Angelo, początkowo pewny swej wiary, przeżywa poważne wątpliwości, gdy jego bliska przyjaciółka Kasia postanawia wstąpić do klasztoru. Adam, walczący o życie ciężko chorego ojca,…
Atheists on the Santiago way : examining motivations to go on pilgrimage
2018
In the past 30 years, the camino to Santiago de Compostela has been recreated as an eclectic pilgrimage, open to both religious and atheist travelers. Following previous work on motivational orientations and religion, we conducted a study examining atheist versus religious pilgrims' motivations to walk the Santiago way. We assessed pilgrims (N = 360) at various parts of the northern Spanish camino using a questionnaire that measured motivations to go on pilgrimage. In addition, we measured levels of positive and negative affect, physical exertion, and emotional problems. Atheists scored significantly lower on community and religious types of motivations. However, in several measures no diff…
