Do mobility, cognitive functioning, and depressive symptoms mediate the association between social activity and mortality risk among older men and wo…
2013
Social activity and health correlate in old age, but less is known about what explains this association. The aim of this study was to investigate whether mobility, cognitive functioning, and depressive symptoms mediate the association between social activity and mortality risk, or whether they alternatively should be considered as prerequisites for social activity in older Finnish men and women.

Confirmatory factor analyses were used to form latent variables describing collective and productive social activity. Latent variable models were used…

Croce. Más allá de la 'metafísica de la mente'. La filosofía como 'historicismo absoluto'
2015
Influido por la obra de F. De Sanctis y rechazando cualquier tipo de mentalismo así como el uso excesivo de conceptos abstractos, Benedetto Croce propuso su Filosofía del Espíritu, entendida como una “filosofía de las cosas humanas”. En este sentido, su rechazo al Idealismo metafísico de Hegel-Spaventa-Gentile, principalmente basado en la absoluta unidad del espíritu, le llevó a proponer una necesaria interdependencia de Filosofía e Historia. Abandonando la concepción de la Filosofía en tanto saber puramente mental, para volverla filosofía de las cosas humanas, más cercana al pensar y al hacer de los hombres. Influenced by F. De Sanctis’ works and rejecting any kind of mentalism as well as …
Benedetto Croce y El problema del mal en el horizonte del pensamiento hegeliano
2015
Entre los pensadores modernos que han afrontado de forma particularmente significativa el problema del mal, hay que recordar a Benedetto Croce. El presente ensayo trata no tanto de la completa doctrina crociana relativa al problema del mal, sino la 'respuesta' dada en su interpretación de Hegel, partiendo de la consideración de que el mal es necesario, pues sin él no habría realidad, la cual resulta de la síntesis de bien y de mal. Among those modern philosophers who have studied significantly the problem of evil, Benedetto Croce must be without doubt mentioned. The present essay focuses not on Croce’s complete theory of evil, but on the “answer” he offered in his interpretation of Hegel’s …
