Materialistic values impact on pro-environmental behavior: The case of transition country as Lithuania
2020
Abstract Materialism is becoming a global phenomenon and is increasing exponentially. Lithuania, which has survived a long period of occupation, experienced privatization and goods’ famine is attributed to the transition countries. In terms of materialistic values, Lithuania is not an exception, as material wealth and image are also very important. Thus, the main question of this paper was whether materialistic values could be reconciled with the pro-environmental behavior, which can be considered as one of the main aspects seeking sustainability. According to the Lithuanian representative survey and by applying the approach of structural equation modeling, the results showed that materiali…

Jean-Palul Sartre tra filosofia dell'esistenza e materialismo storico: la Critica della ragione dialettica
Giuseppe Salvioli
2012
La voce, pubblicata nell’ottava appendice dell’Enciclopedia italiana di scienze, lettere ed arti della Treccani, è dedicata a Giuseppe Salvioli (1857-1928), una delle figure più interessanti e complesse della cultura italiana di fine Ottocento primo Novecento. Professore di Storia del diritto italiano a Palermo e a Napoli, fu tra i più attenti osservatori della realtà economico-sociale, che egli considerò la base di partenza del suo metodo storicistico. Il primato dei fatti economici e la profondità dell’indagine storica rappresentano i punti fermi di un metodo che Salvioli andò elaborando in maniera via via più consapevole, derivandone quei motivi di ispirazione socialista, solidarista e r…

Human Soul, Body and Life Horizons
2013
Phenomenology of life develops an essential transformation of the positioning of life, human being, soul and life horizons. Human soul reflects the passions of the earth and of the skies. There are two directions characteristic for the soul – upward and downward. Life horizons are closely connected with life forms, styles of living. It has been described in rather different cultures including post-modern culture. This paper deals with A.-T. Tymieniecka’s ideas about the New Enlightenment and critique of too narrow an explanation of human subjectivity and body and discusses the need for balance between soul’s directions and decreasing of materialistic, consumerism life form, orientations to …
What Was Synthetic Biology?
2014
The desire to make life is not new. Mythology and history provide numerous examples of this Promethean longing. Materialist and evolutionist scientists over a century ago were convinced of the possibility and even the need to synthesize living beings to advance the knowledge on the nature and origin of life. The premature synthetic biology attempts by Stephane Leduc and Alfonso L. Herrera reflected the mechanistic ideal in biology of Jacques Loeb. The book “La biologie synthetique” by Leduc (1912) clearly defines the efforts of these pioneers: “Why is it less acceptable to seek how to make a cell than how to make a molecule?” Journalists have presented many advances in biology in the past c…
Towards new paradigms in tourism fields: an anthropological perspective
2018
The present notes of research centres on the problem of fragmentation, which is experienced by tourism applied research in the recent years. Echoing the original claims issued by John Tribe –followed by many others scholars–, we discuss further on the socio-economic factors that prevented tourism its maturated and stylised form. Though we introduce a materialist viewpoint, echoing David Harvey, no less true is that the point is open to further debate, incorporating cultural viewpoints. The impulses and bursts of interest received simultaneously from social science but also by the theory of scientifisation coined by Jafar Jafari did not suffice to gain purchase over a maturated discipline. E…
Novedad revolucionaria y filosofía materialista (hacia la unificación teórica de marxismo y psicoanálisis)
2010
Tras exponer y explicar, en la Introducción y en el Primer capítulo, los límites que encuentra la filosofía de la ciencia a la hora de explicar la producción de descubrimientos revolucionarios en el campo de las ciencias (sobre todo, después de la intervención post-positivista de Kuhn, Lakatos, etc. contra la epistemología positivista y neo-positivista); tras exponer y explicar, a su vez, cómo estos mismos límites de comprensión no pueden ser superados ni siquiera cuando la filosofía de la ciencia recurre a los contenidos de las ciencias sociales, como ocurre en la actualidad (a la psicología y a la sociología, tal y como éstas se definen en sociedad liberal); tras exponer y explicar estos …
Reflexions crítiques sobre alguns problemes epistemològics del materialisme dialèctic [Pròleg]
2004
Les sotragades pendulars de la història sempre són perilloses, especialment quan es tracta d'aspectes ideològics i teòrics: un determinat període pendular pot generar actituds dogmàtiques i inquisitorials o, en altres casos, d'ignorància i rebuig. I ara ens trobem al bell mig d'aquest perill. ~ensorrament a Europa de l'anomenat socialisme real pot provocar l'arraconament d'anys i anys de reflexió i estudi al voltant dels problemes plantejats per Marx, Engels i Lenin; centenars de milers de pàgines impreses podrien passar a ocupar racons ben amagats de les biblioteques fins que d'aquí a un grapat d'anys, quan canviés el període pendular, fossen rescatades i desempolsades per recuperar si més…
Theodor Wiesengrund-Adorno: interpretación históriconatural
2015
La tesis trata de construir una concepción de la filosofía actual como interpretación históriconatural a partir de la obra de Theodor Wiesengrund-Adorno. Se centra en las conferencias „Die Aktualität der Philosophie“ (1931), „Die Idee der Naturgeschichte“(1932) y las dos versiones de su escrito de habilitación sobre los libros sobre Kierkegaard. Es la primera investigación tanto en español como en alemán que trabaja partes del original escrito de habilitación – inédito hasta ahora – de Adorno Konstruktion des Ästhetischen in Kierkegaards Philosophie comparándolo con la versión corregida y publicada del mismo: Kierkegaard. Konstruktion des Ästhetischen. Tras una exposición de la concepción d…
