Volver al sentido de la ciudad. Reflexiones hermenéuticas y éticas
2020
El propósito de esta contribución es delinear las principales reflexiones sobre la ética de ciudad surgidas en los últimos años. Para ello se abordan, en primer lugar, las conexiones entre racionalidad práctica, urbanismo y espacio público desde la perspectiva del pragmatismo crítico y de la ciencia social fronética. Estas propuestas nos proporcionan el marco hermenéutico para presentar a continuación algunas de las aproximaciones éticas más relevantes que pueden aplicarse a las ciudades actuales: la ética de las virtudes urbanas, el derecho a la ciudad, el movimiento de la ciudad justa, el giro urbano de la ética, la ética del ambiente construido, la ética del diseño y la conducta medioamb…
Introduction
2020
This chapter provides a general introduction to the edited volume of Citizenship Practices in East Africa: Perspectives from Philosophical Pragmatism. It contextualizes the contribution of the book within three ongoing discussions: first, on the role of a normative starting point in development research; second, on the principle of philosophical pragmatism of starting theorizing from human practices; and third, on the efforts to conceptualize citizenship on the basis of everyday experiences. The chapter sets the main objectives of the book as to articulate a concept of citizenship based on philosophical pragmatism, to explore a variety of practices in which citizenship habits are acquired a…
Los jefes del primer carlismo
2018
En este artículo he intentado averiguar qué tipo de personas fueron los jefes carlistas que participaron en la primera guerra. Para ello he seleccionado a los 100 más destacados y he elaborado una serie de estadísticas con sus datos biográficos. La información la he extraído de la obra de Pirala, de otros trabajos sobre la Primera Guerra Carlista y de varias obras biográficas sobre jefes carlistas. Con esta investigación he podido saber que la mayoría de los jefes carlistas procedían de Cataluña, el País Vasco y Navarra, que eran en su mayoría militares apartados del servicio o jefes de voluntarios realistas y que tuvieron una trayectoria vital bastante variada, habiendo entre ellos idealis…

The necessary distinction between methodology and philosophical assumptions in healthcare research
2012
Methodological discussions within healthcare research have traditionally described a methodological dichotomy between qualitative and quantitative methods. The aim of this article is to demonstrate that such a dichotomy presents unnecessary obstacles for good research design and is methodologically and philosophically unsustainable. The issue of incommensurability is not a question of method but rather a question of the philosophical premises underpinning a given method. Thus, transparency on the philosophical level is important for validity and consistency as well as for attempts to integrate or establish an interface to other research. I argue that it is necessary to make a distinction be…
L’ordinaire de la littérature. Des bénéfices pragmatistes dans les études littéraires
2008
International audience; This paper tries to examine why pragmatism, though often evoked and used in numerous academic fields, has had very little influence on French literary studies. To explain such a fact, the authors lay emphasis on the way the concept of literature was coined from romantic and structuralist elements in the French context. Doing so, they also suggest a few insights about what pragmatism could bring to literary studies and criticism, especially concerning the uses of literature, and its cognitive powers.; En dépit du reflux du structuralisme, la littérature continue d’être appréhendée à travers un prisme théorique d’obédience post-romantique, qui occulte son interaction a…
Stoic pragmatist ethics in the time of pandemic
2021
Abstract The present paper is a response, of sorts, to the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID) and lockdown that we all must face. We have an idea of what doctors, nurses, teachers, among many of the other professions, do for the general public, but one may ask whether there is something substantial that philosophers and ethicists can offer in these circumstances. The thesis of this paper is that the stoic attitude towards times of trouble and the pragmatist way of finding out what is possible to elevate the quality of living against all odds, if skilfully interwoven, could be an important tool in keeping mental health in good shape and, additionally, could contribute to the cult…

Tiedon ja taidon pragmatistinen yhteenkietoutuminen
2012
Tämä tutkielma käsittelee tiedon ja taidon suhdetta pragmatistisessa tietoteoriassa samalla sivuten kasvatusfilosofiaa. Tieto ja taito nähdään pragmatismissa yhteenkietoutuneina. Väitän, että tämä pitäisi ottaa huomioon koulutusjärjestelmäämme pohtiessa. Tutkielman kannalta tärkein argumenttini on pragmatismin väite, ettei tietoa voi nähdä toiminnasta erillisenä. Täten erilaiset tietämisen tavat tulevat lähemmäksi toisiaan. Tutkielman alussa avaan tiedon suhdetta toimintaan. Koska tieto nähdään toiminnasta riippuvaisena, sekoittuu siihen ruumiillisuuden kautta monenlaisia taidoksi luokiteltuja asioita, joita tutkin etenkin luvussa neljä. Argumentaationi perustuu usein pragmatistien kirjoitu…
Heterogeneous knowledge: Trends in German discourse analysis against an international background
2011
This contribution maps the complex field of discourse analysis in Germany by situating its major currents and putting them in historical perspective. In a first step, it presents the major intellectual sources, such as (post-)structuralism, pragmatism/interactionism as well as hermeneutics, which have served as a backdrop for the establishment of discourse analysis as an interdisciplinary field since the 1980s. In a second step, it takes a closer look at the intellectual conjunctures in the social sciences such as Critical Theory and systems theory before turning to the discourse analytical tendencies that have emerged since the 1980s in the light of Foucault's reception in Germany. Finally…
