Ecotheology in the service of religion and science
2020
The aim of the text is to assess the ecumenical potential of various contemporary approaches to ecotheology, which try to take into account the achievements of natural and social sciences. It outlines the effects of the ecumenical interest of the Churches in ecology, understood as a certain style of thinking and acting, taking into account the good of the natural environment. The results of ecological interest in the Churches are discussed by numerous authors. For example, two complementary concepts from Western and Eastern Christianity are presented: Thomas Berry's Interdisciplinary Ecotheology and John Zizioulas' Ethically Oriented Ecotheology.
 
Otherwise than quantum
2022
AbstractThe paper focuses on two problems with Alexander Wendt's unification of physical and social ontology on the basis of quantum theory. Firstly, by endowing social phenomena with an ontological foundation in physical reality defined in quantum terms Wendt risks reducing a plurality of worlds as ‘fields of sense’, ordered by their immanent rules, to the physical world ordered by the laws of quantum theory. Secondly, by defining his quantum social science as an ontology Wendt risks excluding from consideration all that which violates ontological laws, yet may still be said to exist or take place: event, potentiality, and alterity. Although the advantages of a scientific ontology are indi…

Wielowymiarowość szkolnych kodeksów etyki i fair play
2017
Artykuł podejmuje kwestię obecności zasady fair play w środowisku szkolnym. Tworzone na potrzeby oddziaływań wychowawczych szkolne kodeksy etyki i fair play są potwierdzeniem wykorzystywania tej zasady w procesie dydaktycznym we współczesnej szkole. Szkolne kodeksy fair play zawierają treści nie tylko związane z lekcją wychowania fizycznego, lecz również koncentrują się na życiu, etyce i wpływają na kształtowanie konkretnych postaw w życiu. Niniejszy tekst wychodzi od etymologii pojęcia fair play, a następnie ukazuje jego związek z etyką, życiem, edukacją i kibicowaniem. W założeniu tekst wpisuje się w obecność fair play w sporcie, edukacji i życiu.
Consumer Ethics Research: Reframing the Debate about Consumption for Good
2008
Consumer ethics is an underdeveloped specialism of business and marketing ethics, within which most publications have focused on bad rather than on good ethics, and on consumer dishonesty rather than on consumer idealism or consumer responsibility. This conceptual paper explores the latter perspective, and examines how we can seek to understand “consumer social responsibility” from perspectives such as consumer citizenship, political consumerism and consumer decision making. Much of the literature dealing with positive ethical dimensions of consumer behavior is limited to augmentations of conventional models of consumer behavior and the decisions rules that operate within them. This paper a…
The structure of the sporting community: a dialogical proposal
2015
Este artículo se propone mostrar que la filosofía anglo-americana y la continental han de trabajar de forma conjunta dentro del área de la filosofía del deporte. Para ello, analizaré y aplicaré el concepto de la “comunidad comunicativa”, que se encuentra en la ética del discurso de Apel y Habermas, en relación al deporte. Algunos autores han tratado de realizar esta tarea con anterioridad, por ejemplo, Raúl Sebastian Solanes, Robert L. Simon y William J. Morgan. Por lo tanto, analizaré sus propuestas de modo crítico. Al hacerlo, mostraré que hemos de luchar por conseguir una comunidad deportiva más integrativa que la propuesta hasta el día de hoy, con el fin de dar sentido al deporte contem…
Weininger’s Influences in Wittgenstein’s Conception of Judaism
2016
El objetivo de este trabajo es contribuir a dilucidar la concepción wittgensteiniana del judaísmo. En general se admite que la obra de Otto Weininger influyó en el pensamiento de Wittgenstein, pero no hay acuerdo sobre el contenido de esa influencia. Aquí sostenemos que esta es perceptible, no solo en la concepción wittgensteiniana de la ética, la genialidad, el talento, etc., sino también en su caracterización del judaísmo y en el uso que el filósofo hace de esta idea. The aim of this work is to contribute to elucidate Wittgenstein’s conception of Judaism. It is generally acknowledged that Otto Weininger’s work influenced the thought of Wittgenstein, but there is no agreement on the conten…

Four of these contexts are identified, namely, the research context, the educational context, the industrial context and the socio-cultural context. For each context, the major trends are analysed and summarized as short statements, thus providing a background in which the state-of-the-art and the challenges of sound and music research can be situated.
From the Normative Heaven to Crude Matter. The Discursive Transformation of Good Government into Governance
2017
International audience; Abstract. The abundant use of the concept of good governance in political and media discourse can lead us to conclude that we are currently encountering a conceptual innovation. In actual fact it is an old concept that has its roots in classical political theory and resists any clear and precise definition. This article aims to reflect on the main changes experienced by the concept of good government and its metamorphosis into governance, by means of an analysis using a narrative of conceptual transformation from a normative logic to a technocratic logic.; Del cielo normativo a la tosca materia. La transformación discursiva del buen gobierno en gobernanza 1 María Áng…

2014
Published version of an article in the journal: Studies in Philosophy and Education. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11217-014-9452-1 The analysis is based on some moral experiences taking place during a terrorist attack on the Norwegian Labor Party’s youth camp on the island of Utøya (outside of Oslo) July 22, 2011, where 69 young people were killed and several seriously injured. After the attack many of the survivors told stories of how strangers spontaneous had helped and cared for each other. In the midst of the horror there occurred sudden “moments of goodness” or “points of light” that revealed hope for the persons involved, as well as for the society.…
