Conrad and Censorship in Poland
2012
This essay explores the ways in which Conrad's life and letters were inextricably connected with the censorship imposed by three political systems: Tsarist autocracy, Nazi totalitarianism, and Communism. Conrad's oeuvre was itself a “victim” of two regimes of totalitarian censorship and political persecution. In occupied Poland between 1939 and 1945, his writing became a spiritual guide for the young generation, helping them to survive the horrors of the war and occupation. After the war, Conrad was banned by the Polish Communists, and supposedly forgotten. Totalitarian systems, it is argued, regard Conrad's works as dangerous and subversive because of their moral message of respect for hum…
“Ni la presencia ni la ausencia”: el concepto de representación y sus implicaciones
2015
El presente trabajo plantea un análisis histórico-filosófico del ambivalente concepto de representación política. Partiendo de la concepción tradicional según la cual puede definirse la representación como la presencia de una ausencia, desgranaremos las diferentes visiones de este concepto que han propuesto las diversas tradiciones políticas –la democrática, la liberal y la revolucionaria– así como las implicaciones en varios órdenes que arrastra cada una.http://dx.doi.org/10.15304/ag.35.1.2260

ÉTICA DE LOS CREYENTES
2011
In this paper I analyze the relationship between religious beliefs of individuals and their attitudes to certain moral and political issues. In some cases, certain behaviours of believers contradict the doctrines of the religions that they claim to profess, although they don’t feel less faithful. This dissonance between religious doctrines and beliefs of a religion’s followers can be explained through the concept of the privatization of religious beliefs, according to which at present, religious beliefs have lost their objectivity in the context of moral monism. Thus, the believers’ convictions are influenced by the social influences on the way the believer understand

Evolutionity – A New Age of Humanity: On the Concept of Human Evolution by Hoene-Wroński
2018
In this article, I present the concept of human evolution by Jozef Hoene-Wronski. I believe that his ideas are still an unexplored resource which can lead us to the better understanding of the evolution of humanity and of our human destiny. Hoene-Wronski has boldly challenged the deterministic picture of the world emerging from modern science and has derived human evolution from the moral and rational development of human beings. I follow closely his discussion of human evolution and describe its seven stages. Further, I argue that the case of human evolution is strongly supported by new scientific theories, especially by quantum theory and the novel perspectives that it opens for humankind…
Growing in Mafia Territories
2015
As a theoretical extension of other previous studies, this work represents an improvement of the notions about the relationship between adolescence and Mafia. The research has been aiming at exploring teenagers’ universe within specific social contexts where the presence of criminal organizations is significant, focusing the attention on the modalities through which evolutionary tasks are coped with in contexts with high Mafia density and often characterized by a perception of social space that makes personal, financial, and political development problematic. The research has involved 93 teenagers who live in southern regions where the presence of Mafia organizations (Camorra, ‘Ndrangheta, …

Necessary Transformation or Safe Permanence? A Philosophical Approach to the Desire for Change
2011
What is proposed is a meditation on the phrase ‘transformation of the educational system’, paying attention to the sense of the words, and showing what the desire for educational change can reveal. After explaining to what extent ‘educational system’ is a quasi-oxymoron, the meaning of ‘transformation’ has to be compared to those of revolution and utopia. The claim to be transforming the educational system is an attempt to adapt education to social and political situations and constraints. The case of the Langevin-Wallon project in France, which was never applied, helps when wondering what has to be adapted to what. What sort of reciprocity is there between school and society? The organisa…

The utilitarian representation of sport in Rumania, a brake in the development of leisure practice. Since the countries of central Europe entered the liberal sphere influence, the consumptions of possessions and services develop there. We observe a movement of tutellaire and ideological emancipation of the sports organizations, but the practice of popular physical activities delays developing. If, on the ground, we notice the appearance of an structured professionally offer, contrary to all expectations, it does not pull a real increase of consumption. This situation which rises in inferred paradox a cultural interrogation on the previous history of these brakes. Historically, the sport dur…
