A Hermeneutical Analysis of the InternalistApproachin the Philosophy of Sport
2015
Abstract In this paper, we make a hermeneutical analysis of internalism, the dominant tradition in the philosophy of sports. In order to accomplish this, we identify the prejudices that guide the internalist view of sports, namely the Platonic-Analytic prejudice introduced by Suits, one of the forefathers of internalism. Then, we critically analyze four consequences of following such a prejudice: a) its reductive nature, b) the production of a unrealistic view of sports, c) the vagueness of the idea of excellence; and d) the leap from the descriptive analysis of the sporting phenomenon to the setting of normative requirements for the practice of sports.
Nine Rules of Engagement: Reflections on Reflexivity
2019
Wishing to be reflexive, to critically examine our assumptions, is easy. Doing it is less so. For researchers doing a study in their own professional field, it represents a particular challenge. In this essay, I explore this challenge using my own study as exemplar. I am researching workplace inclusion of workers with intellectual disability. As a professional, I have worked with and for people with intellectual disability for many years. The knowledge I bring to my inquiry – about the inabilities, vulnerabilities and needs ascribed to persons labelled thus – is deeply entrenched in common culture, as well as in my professional training. How can I handle this knowledge in my research? To wh…
Karl-Otto Apel’s discourse ethics in dialogue with Charles Taylor’s hermeneutical ethics
2019
El objetivo de este trabajo es poner de manifiesto la relevancia del legado filosófico de Karl-Otto Apel a la luz del diálogo con la ética de Charles Taylor. Nos detenemos en los últimos libros publicados de Charles Taylor y ensayamos una interpretación crítica de sus tesis a partir de la pragmática trascendental de Apel. Hundiendo sus raíces en la matriz hermenéutica y crítica, la ética del discurso de Karl-Otto Apel sigue ofreciendo una dialéctica fecunda entre realidad e idealidad que resulta insoslayable para afrontar con garantías el futuro de la humanidad. The aim of this paper is to highlight the relevance of the philosophical legacy of Karl-Otto Apel in light of the dialogue with th…
Volver al sentido de la ciudad. Reflexiones hermenéuticas y éticas
2020
El propósito de esta contribución es delinear las principales reflexiones sobre la ética de ciudad surgidas en los últimos años. Para ello se abordan, en primer lugar, las conexiones entre racionalidad práctica, urbanismo y espacio público desde la perspectiva del pragmatismo crítico y de la ciencia social fronética. Estas propuestas nos proporcionan el marco hermenéutico para presentar a continuación algunas de las aproximaciones éticas más relevantes que pueden aplicarse a las ciudades actuales: la ética de las virtudes urbanas, el derecho a la ciudad, el movimiento de la ciudad justa, el giro urbano de la ética, la ética del ambiente construido, la ética del diseño y la conducta medioamb…
A qualitative fallacy: Life trapped in interpretations and stories
2021
This paper points out some problematic aspects of qualitative research based on interviews and uses examples from mental health. The narrative approach is explored while inquiring if the reality of life here is forced into the formula of a chronological story. The hermeneutic approach, in general, is also examined, and we ask if the reality of life in this scenario becomes caught up in a web of interpretations. Inspired by ideas from Bakhtin and phenomenology, we argue for interview-based research that stays with unresolvedness and constantly question the web of interpretations and narratives that determine our experiences. This also chimes with certain dialogical practices in mental healt…
Derechos y deberes. El horizonte de la responsabilidad
2013
El artículo recorre aquellos acontecimientos y textos del siglo XX más reveladores a la hora de abordar la relación entre derechos y deberes, proponiendo una lectura renovada de la noción de responsabilidad humana. La reflexión sobre las carencias del individualismo y del estatalismo, latentes en la cultura jurídicopolítica contemporánea, no pretende relativizar el papel de los derechos sino tratar de reforzarlo a través de un discurso permeable a otras formulaciones de las exigencias de justicia y a otras concepciones del mundo, con el objetivo de fortalecer la conciencia cívica, el tejido social relacional, la asunción responsable de las propias obligaciones y una idea de universalidad má…
Tension between freedom and dependence-A challenge for residents who live in nursing homes.
2017
Aims and objectives To present results from interviews of older people living in nursing homes, on how they experience freedom. Background We know that freedom is an existential human matter, and research shows that freedom remains important throughout life. Freedom is also important for older people, but further research is needed to determine how these people experience their freedom. The background for this article was a Scandinavian study that occurred in nursing homes; the purpose of the study was to gain knowledge about whether the residents felt that their dignity was maintained and respected. Design The design was hermeneutic, with qualitative research interviews. Method Twenty-eigh…

Facticity, affectivity and intentionality: the New Heidegger’s hermeneutical hypothesis
2015
El objetivo de este artículo es presentar una interpretación hermenéutica de la afectividad en el contexto de la transformación hermenéutica de la fenomenología llevada a cabo por el joven Heidegger. Esta hipótesis surge de una confrontación previa con la interpretación que la corriente conocida como “New Husserl” hace de la auto-afección en la fenomenología genética. Además, dicha contraposición se realiza sobre el trasfondo del debate en torno a la naturalización de la fenomenología y del cambio paradigmático introducido por las ciencias afectivas en el corazón de las ciencias cognitivas. The aim of this paper is to present a hermeneutical approach to affectivity in the context of the so …
Kun viesti, editointi ja julkistaminen tulevat näkyviksi
2006
When Message, Editing and Publication Become Visible. On the Poetics of Digital Webwriting In his article, Niemi-Pynttari discusses the poetics of Digital webwriting. The focus of the article lies on the poetics of mediating and editing relations. Based on German hermeneutics and media philosophy, the article covers three different areas of research. The first objective is to reveal how the study of communication has so far overlooked the poetic level. Criticism is aimed, above all, at the way in which the field of hermeneutics has tended to ignore the emergence of the message (angelos) as a poetic-religious event. The second part of the article demonstrates how webwriting has taken on aspe…
