Assaig d'una teoria (semi-)formal de les nacions

2006

An appropriate combination of Quine's ontology and Frege's semantics is useful to emphasize the empirical entities 'ethnic group' and 'nation' expressed through an axiomatic system. If 'cultural diversity' is taken as a primitive because it is good ethically and it is beautiful esthetically, then 'internationalist nationalism' is the correct order of human society from a political point of view.

Alegoría y Trauerspiel

2012

The author analyzes the characteristics of the allegory that Baltasar Gracián unfolds widely in the work The Criticón establishing interesting comparisons with the allegory notion that Walter Benjamin develops in his book Ursprung des deutschen Trauerspiels. The open defense that Benjamin makes of the calderonian theater front to german Trauerspiel allows to extend this defense not only to the baroque development of the allegory like expression but to other aspects like the immanent moral, the dialectic one of the theatricality, the temporality or the mystification in the opus magna of Gracián.

Dificultats de l'optimisme (o sobre dues vacil.lacions de Leibniz)

2006

The article analyzes the Leibnizian theory of optimism in order to assess the role played by two vacillations and their interaction: the first is concerned with what form the history of the best of the possible worlds must have; the second, with the question of apocatastasis. It concludes that both vacillations are related and the way one is solved determines how the other has to be solved.

Disolución política de la teología: Comentarios al Libro de Job

2005

This article proposes a political reading of the Book of Job. This biblical text emblematically describes the dialectic of protection-obedience. In political terms, with the modern political construction of the State (Hobbes), it is transformed. To the degree that this dialectic is secularized, the original theological components are dissolved. The exposition of this dissolution in the Christian and Jewish traditions is at the centre of this article. In the end it is shown that the political dissolution hides the original dialectic in the form of myth.

Teoria de l'argumentació i pràctica de l'argumentació

2006

The problematic relationship between theory and practice is the core of this paper, with special regard to rhetoric as theory (as an explicative system supported by a rhetorician, that is a procedure of proof) and rhetoric as practice (as an operative system applied by an orator, that is a strategy of persuasion). The practice of argumentation is often bad from the cognitive, methodological, ethical and social point of view, but the theory of argumentation is valuable. And for philosophy, the argumentation, the instrument of rhetoric, is the only possible procedure of proof.
