Die Wissenschaftsübersetzung als Generator symbolischen Kapitals
2021
ZusammenfassungThis paper investigates the function of translation in the context of scientific communication, examining the correspondence between the Italian universal scientist Lazzaro Spallanzani, his translator Jean Senebier, and the Swiss naturalist Charles Bonnet. The main thesis is that the function of scientific translation goes far beyond the simple communication of scientific content and that it in fact played a complex role in the system of exchange and circulation of symbolic capital within the scientific community in the Early Modern Period. To illustrate the complexity of scientific translation, the paper focusses on Spallanzani’s remarkable adoption of a twofold perspective:…

Non-naturalistic Neuroethics for Moral Neuroeducation
2019
The aim of this chapter is to examine a series of key approaches towards identifying an appropriate neuroethics for moral neuroeducation. I begin by highlighting the shortcomings of neuroeducation models that side-line ethical issues. Neuroscience has contributed decisively to the knowledge of the brain mechanisms involved in teaching and learning processes. However, often only one form of learning, that based on instrumental subjects (mathematical calculation or reading), is taken into account. Undoubtedly, neuroeducational advances in this area have been very beneficial, but by focusing on education in strictly instrumental terms, the principles and ethical values that should structure ed…

Es pot naturalitzar la intencionalitat?
2016
Resum: La intencionalitat és un element central en la nostra comprensió del món. Diàriament atribuïm estats intencionals (com ara creences, desitjos o percepcions) per a poder explicar el comportament d’altres agents, i moltes teories filosòfiques hi apel·len per a entendre altres nocions més complexes. Tanmateix, els estats intencionals són entitats enigmàtiques. Aquest article explica què és la intencionalitat i per què és tan important i problemàtica alhora. En segon lloc, examina diverses teories naturalistes que intenten mostrar que la intencionalitat és compatible amb una visió científica del món. Finalment, com que totes les propostes existents s’enfronten a dificultats significative…
Justice naturelle et conscience morale selon le Code de l'Humanité (1778)
2014
International audience; L'article étudie l'orientation jusnaturaliste du Code de l'Humanité (Yverdon, 1778, 13 vol.), qui est un foisonnant dictionnaire antimatérialiste spécialisé en droit et et en morale, édité par F.B. De Felice dans la Suisse romande et protestante des Lumières, entre les révolutions américaine et française. L'analyse porte en particulier sur les notions de justice, de conscience et de droit. Tout en renvoyant dos à dos la doctrine du légicentrisme et la tendance à mécaniser l'activité de juger, les entrées homonymes décrivent la conscience comme la faculté de discerner le juste de l'injuste et réaffirment la supériorité de la justice naturelle sur le conventionnalisme …
The Sartre‐Heidegger Controversy on Humanism and the Concept of Man in Education
2012
Jean‐Paul Sartre claims in his 1945 lecture ‘Existentialism is a Humanism’ that there are two kinds of existentialism: that of Christians like Karl Jaspers, and atheistic like Martin Heidegger. Sartre's ‘spiritual master’ Heidegger had no problem with Sartre defining him as an atheist, but he had serious problems with Sartre's concept of humanism and existentialism. Heidegger claims that the essence of humanism lies in the essence of the human being. After the Enlightenment, the Western concept of man has been presented in education in the form of Kantian humanistic essentialism. At least in the Finnish educational system, Kantian humanism is almost an official ideological background of all…
Hegel’s Non-Metaphysical Idea of Freedom
2016
the article explores the putatively non-metaphysical – non-voluntarist, and even non-causal – concept of freedom outlined in Hegel’s work and discusses its influential interpretation by robert Pippin as an ‘essentially practical’ concept. I argue that Hegel’s affirmation of freedom must be distinguished from that of Kant and Fichte, since it does not rely on a prior understanding of self-consciousness as an originally teleological relation and it has not the nature of a claim ‘from a practical point of view’.
On the Complexity and Wholeness of Human Beings: Husserlian Perspectives
2017
At the beginning of Being and Time, Heidegger rejects Husserl’s classical phenomenology on three grounds: he claims that Husserlian phenomenology is impaired by indeterminate concepts, by naïve personalism, and by obscurities in its account of individuation. The paper studies the validity of this early critique by explicating Husserl’s discourse on human persons as bodily-spiritual beings and by clarifying his account of the principles by which such beings can be individuated. The paper offers three types of considerations. After a summary of Heidegger’s early critique of Husserl, the second section of the paper distinguishes between two dimensions of Husserl’s discourse on human persons. I…
