Artes marciales japonesas: prácticas corporales representativas de su identidad cultural
2011
La implantación y difusión de las artes marciales japonesas en Occidente supuso la importación de prácticas socioculturales privadas de las premisas de su contexto de origen. ¿Cómo afrontar estas prácticas que son ajenas a nuestra identidad cultural? Una interpretación estricta exige entenderlas como prácticas corporales con una idiosincrasia cultural, caracterizadas por incorporar una experiencia vivencial en la que el cuerpo ocupa un lugar preeminente. Su enseñanza y aprendizaje se establecen a través de un sistema triangular integrado por una esencia espiritual, una forma técnica y una estructura física (sin-gi-tai), que se inserta en un proceso singular (shu-ha-ri).

On the Reception of Grassmann’s Work in Germany during the 1870’s
1996
It has often been remarked that Grassmann’s mathematics was not widely appreciated during his lifetime. Although awareness of the dimensions of his achievements began to spread in the early 1870’s, even in Germany relatively few mathematicians appear to have been well acquainted with either the original 1844 edition of Grassmann’s Ausdehnungslehre or the mathematically more accessible edition of 1862. The main reasons for this weak and rather delayed reception have been described often enough---Grassmann’s isolated working environment and his nearly impenetrable language---but there are a number of related aspects that still deserve closer consideration.1
Reflections on the Everlasting and the Transient or the Road to the “Freed Field of Light”
2000
The twentieth century is a contradiction-ridden time. Without warning it combines grandiose Utopias and apocalyptic reasonings. It bottles up tragic contradictions, a feeling of insecurity, at times manifestations of despair and feverish activity. In the eyes of a considerable part of society man has lost his divine image, his place in the system of universal value. Consciousness of the loss of sense, the loss of absolute values forms a peculiar background for the cultural processes of the twentieth century. It is this loss of sense that may be the basis for its dualistic and even tragic vision of the world.

Forays into the Scientific Mindset: The Two Cultures in Ian McEwan’s Saturday and Solar
2012
The paper discusses two recent novels, Saturday (2005) and Solar (2010) written by a distinguished contemporary novelist Ian McEwan in the context of C. P. Snow’s famous lecture The Two Cultures. As the paper suggests, McEwan should be listed among the narrow group of British literary intellectuals living today who follow C. P. Snow’s recommendations and try to bridge the gap between the worlds of science and the humanities. Both Saturday and Solar, the author of the paper argues, successfully demonstrate how science may become a rewarding and rich source of inspiration for a novelist.
