Cortesía entre fronteras. Los jesuitas expulsos y el debate sobre la civilidad en el siglo XVIII: Lorenzo Hervás y Panduro y Francisco Aznar
2019
Resumen: Este trabajo estudia la aportación de los jesuitas expulsos en el siglo XVIII al debate sobre el carácter universal o culturalmente específico de la civilidad, a partir del análisis de dos obras de Lorenzo Hervás y Panduro y Francisco Aznar (la Historia de la vida del hombre y la Instrucción civil y cristiana), ambas versiones castellanas de obras publicadas en italiano. Se argumenta que la experiencia personal y colectiva de los miembros de la Compañía de Jesús como misioneros y como exiliados en Italia tras la expulsión de los territorios de la monarquía hispánica propició una reflexión de particular interés sobre la dimensión universal de la urbanidad, sobre sus aspectos relativ…

Auditory Phenomena and Human Life: Phenomenological Experience
2018
The present study analyzes auditory phenomena from the point of view of hermeneutical phenomenology and shows their interconnectedness with the understanding of man, hearing and listening within the context of human life as the horizon of meaningful sonority and silence. The central questions to be answered in this study are these: What is experienced as sound and sonority? How does a human see himself in inclusion of his being from where he listens, understands, and speaks? The study explores the classical standpoints of Husserl’s phenomenology and other philosophical apprehensions which confirm that auditory phenomena is not to be apprehended solely as an isolated horizon but as being per…
Content, cost, and context: A framework for understanding human signaling systems
2019
Humans frequently perform extravagant and seemingly costly behaviors, such as widely sharing hunted resources, erecting conspicuous monumental structures, and performing dramatic acts of religious devotion. Evolutionary anthropologists and archeologists have used signaling theory to explain the function of such displays, drawing inspiration from behavioral ecology, economics, and the social sciences. While signaling theory is broadly aimed at explaining honest communication, it has come to be strongly associated with the handicap principle, which proposes that such costly extravagance is in fact an adaptation for signal reliability. Most empirical studies of signaling theory have focused on…
Creença i realitat en William James
2008
This paper is devoted to analyse both the epistemology and ontology of James's pragmatism and his metaphysical proposals. The conclusions are: first, that James did not defend a metaphysical realism, but a antirealist realism; and secondly that this position was what he needed to defend the possibility of human freedom and religious experience.
