Do Australopithecus aos ciborgues. Estamos diante do fim da evolução humana?.
2020
Abstract Social implementation of post-humanism could affect the biological evolution of living beings and especially that of humans. This paper addresses the issue from the biological and anthropological-philosophical perspectives. From the biological perspective, reference is made first to the evolution of hominids until the emergence of Homo sapiens, and secondly, to the theories of evolution with special reference to their scientific foundation and the theory of extended heredity. In the anthropological-philosophical part, the paradigm is presented according to which human consciousness, in its emancipatory zeal against biological nature, must “appropriate” the roots of its physis to tr…
Ethical relationship in the dentist-patient interaction
2021
Background In recent times the deontology of the dental profession has acquired special relevance as a result of problems that dentists have had to face to resolve ethical conflicts. Material and methods Information on deontology in the dental profession has been compiled in publications of health sciences in general and specific codes for dentistry, while expressing opinions about the experience of the authors themselves who, from a humanistic and health overview are concentrated in the dental area.

Introducing postqualitative inquiry in sport and exercise psychology
2021
In recent years, qualitative research has gained popularity and legitimacy in sport and exercise psychology. However, this scientific discipline has not yet paid attention to postqualitative inquiry (PQI), despite the possibilities it offers for producing different knowledge and producing knowledge differently. The present article is the first attempt to rectify this lack of attention by offering a brief and partial sketch of PQI in the context of sport and exercise psychology. To start with, three of the basic propositions that enable PQI are described. These are: adopt a posthumanist view of ontology and the subject; engage with poststructuralism (necessarily) and new materialism (possibl…
Towards a Coming Together of Transhumanism and Play
2018
We note a trend on utilizing interactive technology to extend human capacities through bodily cyborg-like integrations such as artificial limbs and implantables. This trend is often captured by the term "transhumanism", referring to the use of technology to extend human capacities. We find that many transhuman discussions appear to focus on instrumental benefits (i.e. exploiting opportunities to be more productive). We extend this by proposing engagement with transhumanism also from a perspective of "play". We reflect on our own and other's work to articulate three strategies for game designers on how they can engage with transhumanism when aiming to facilitate playful experiences. Ultimate…
Galerías de «mujeres ilustres» o el sinuoso camino de la excepción a la norma cotidiana (ss. XV-XVIII).
2000
Between the fifteenth and the eighteenth centuries, collections of «illustrious women» were a very widely spread genre all over Europe. Humanistic and courtly in their origins, they were linked to the discourse of women´s «excellence» and they transmitted the values of privilege and aristocratic ethics. At the same time, they showed ambivalent, disturbing and powerful images of «women on top». The fact that its popularity seems to have increased during the eighteenth century and that they took more widespread forms such as articles in the periodicals raises interesting questions about the meanings those images, opposed in many ways to Enlightenment values and attitudes, could have for eight…
Suomi ja kriittisen militarismitutkimuksen tarve
2021
Esittelemme kriittistä militarismitutkimusta (engl. Critical Mfilitary Studies) ja tutkimuksellisia näkökulmia suomalaiseen militarismiin ja militarisaatioon. Pohdimme, millaisia ilmentymiä militarismi ja militarisaatio saavat Suomessa, ja hahmottelemme mahdollisia tulevan tutkimuksen suuntia. Pyrimme herättämään keskustelua suomalaisen yhteiskunnan militarisaatiosta, sotilaallisen vallan koskemattomuudesta sekä ekseptionalistisesta asemasta suomalaisessa yhteiskunnassa. Tuomme esiin tarvetta kriittiselle militarismitutkimukselle avoimemman ja monipuolisemman sotilaallista valtaa koskevan keskustelun ja tutkimuksen edistämiseksi. Esittelemme lyhyesti kansainvälisen tutkimuksen kenttää, ja t…
El europeísmo y sus retos democráticos en el marco adverso del neoliberalismo global : cultivo del ethos humanista de Europa y renovación del contrat…
2019
Resumen: ¿Cuáles son los valores que han de sustentar el incierto futuro de la Europa del siglo XXI inmersa en un mundo multipolar en gestación? Metodológicamente desde una hermenéutica fenomenológica crítica con vocación normativa, el artículo intenta dar respuesta a tal pregunta mediante dos objetivos concretos. Primero, a partir del acervo común de los humanismos democráticos asentado tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial por el europeísmo político, establecer los valores y principios que, a modo de ética pública, deberían regir la imperiosa renovación del contrato sociopolítico de las democracias europeas. Y segundo, diagnosticar algunos de los impedimentos a este deseable desarrollo de las de…
Karl Marx: dalla filosofia dell'autocoscienza alla filosofia della prassi
2018
The interpretation of the philosophical thought of Karl Marx given in the second half of the twentieth century canonically distinguishes between the works of the youth period and those of the maturity. Even if only a few interpreters have supported the thesis of the existence of “two Marx”, one opposed to the other, the attention given to some posthumous writings (the Critique of the Hegelian Philosophy of Public Law and the Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 in particular) inevitably led to neglect the writings of the younger Marx. However, the years spent in Berlin (1836-41) are decisive, both for the experience gained alongside the young Hegelians and for the discovery of philo…
