The Role of Ciphering in Phenomenology of Life
2004
Contemporary philosophy is inseparable from the general tendencies of spiritual life that have dominated over the past centuries. The ruling tendency of European-type philosophy has been the affirmation of a democratic life style, liberal values and human individuality and creative activity. The testimony to this is the proportional growth of the philosophy of subjectivism since modern times, the division of pure practical reason and reasoning into separate spheres to substantiate fundamental human abilities, to analyse the ways of grasping the world — such as cognition, understanding, intuition, deciphering, experience — and describe man’s correlation with beingness (cosmos). Epistemology …
Important thoughts on images and words
2015
Both images and words have their unique materiality that tends to be forgotten or bypassed in our modern times and perhaps in particular in our technology-driven contemporary culture. This oblivion...
DIONYSIAN BIOPOLITICS: KARL KERÉNYI’S CONCEPT OF INDESTRUCTIBLE LIFE
2014
Scholar of religion Karl Kerenyi's last book, Dionysos, is a grand attempt at reinterpreting ζωη (zoe), the Greek concept of indestructible life, which he distinguishes from βίος (bios), finite life. In Kerenyi's view, the meaning and sensual experience of zoe was expressed in its richest form in the Cretan beginnings of the cult of Dionysos. The major characteristics of this cult, as Kerenyi describes, were beyond the cultural, political, and sexual limits of the Christian interpretations of life and nature. Searching for modern analogies to zoe, Kerenyi explains the idea in relation to molecular biology's minimum definition of life. Despite the fact that Kerenyi's book contains only minor…
Lope and the Creation of Contemporary Heroes: «La nueva victoria de don Gonzalo de Córdoba» y «La nueva victoria del marqués de Santa Cruz»
2013
Lope defended the usefulness of history presented on stage, that is, theatre’s function of preserving and creating a collective memory. In the case of La nueva victoria de don Gonzalo and La nueva victoria del marqués de Santa Cruz, this playwright dramatized military events that took place immediately before the composition of these plays. In this article i will analyze the fundamental traits of those texts in relation to Lope’s desire to please his patrons and, at the same time, to participate in the making of a Spanish national identity, which intensified during the first years of king Philip IV’s reign through different media, among them painting and theatre. This paper ends reflecting …
Filosofías del don: Usos y abusos de la donación en la ética contemporánea
2013
El objetivo de este artículo es analizar el concepto de donación en la ética contemporánea. Este análisis se realiza en tres momentos: el primero se sitúa en la introducción y muestra que es un concepto importante en el que convergen la fenomenología, el personalismo y la hermenéutica. Esta convergencia no solo supone un uso frecuente del concepto sino un abuso del mismo cuando se construye de espalda a las mediaciones objetivas o institucionales que lo condicionan. El segundo presenta una antropología del don y muestra su relación con los objetos, la reciprocidad, la deuda y la libertad. En el tercer momento se describe la filosofía de la donación de Paul Ricoeur, donde se comprueba un uso…

The War on Terror
2019
9/11 has changed the world in many senses. It introduced not only fear in the contemporary society, but also ignited the counter-reaction to the US in what G. W Bush dubbed as “War on Terror”. This chapter centers on a philosophical discussion that relates the international geopolitics with the sociology of terrorism. Basically, the archetype of 9/11 has woken the interests of many scholars though, to date, it is ideologically inspired. Paradoxically, while much attention was paid on the archetype of 9/11 as a founding event that subordinated other similar events, less understanding of the issue scholars have. This chapter places the war on terror and 9/11 under the critical lens of scrutin…
La vendita dell'opera d'arte materiale e della performance artistica nel dialogo tra arte e diritto
2017
Il presente lavoro indaga il rapporto tra l'arte e il diritto civile dalla prospettiva del trasferimento di proprietà dell'opera d'arte. Quest'analisi viene condotta dall'Autore con particolare riferimento alle opere della c.d. arte contemporanea: ossia quelle forme artistiche che si diffondono durante il secolo scorso e quello attuale.Tali opere consistono, a differenza di quelle in cui prende corpo la c.d. arte classica, non solo in manufatti, come ad es. la scultura o il disegno, ma anche in opere c.d. immateriali, come ad es. la performance artistica. Questa differenza pone diverse questioni sul fronte normativo. L'Autore si sofferma sulla diversa rilevanza giuridica che assu…
Estudio comparativo de dos metodologías aplicadas para la comprensión de la música contemporánea en la educación secundaria obligatoria
2016
In this paper we try to discover which methodology is more appropriate for the comprehension of the contemporary music in the Secondary Education. For that purpose by a quasi-experiment, mixed, qualitative and quantitative, the preserved results through the application of two different methodologies have been compared: a traditional one base on the masterly class and another based in different kinds of audition. The obtained results after the didactical application on the quantitative level weren´t significant, however, on the qualitative level we could also observe that the pupils who subjected to that methodology had more advantageous results regarding to the comprehension of the contempo…
