Spanish Fascism as a Political Religion (1931–1941)
2011
This article focuses on the controversial argument that Spanish Fascism, organized in the political party Falange Espanola (FE y de las JONS), can be interpreted as a form of political religion, understood in the sense of Emilio Gentile. The central thesis is that Spanish Fascism was a political religion during the Republican period, that is, from the time of its consolidation during the early 1930s to the beginning of the Civil War. However – and this is the main analytical challenge – it was also one after July 1936, in spite of the fact that the formation of Franco's Movimiento Nacional imposed no small transformations upon it. Even if those transformations were linked to the increasingl…
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
Gordon Kaufman's Perspectival Language
1978
In the two decades following the publication of New Essays in Philosophical Theology, a metatheological awareness has been steadily developing among systematic theologians. Gordon Kaufman is one of those theologians prepared to face the rather embarrassing question as to whether sentences containing the word ‘God’ provide information about a transcendent reality called ‘God’. Kaufman has, indeed, always seen the need for a constructive relationship between theology and philosophy, a relationship in which both philosophy and theology retain their respective autonomous standpoints. In arguing for an historically orientated philosophy, he claimed that here one would treat what is concrete and …

Los "exempla" paganos en la literatura polémica cristiana: la figura de Dido
2014
vigorosamente en el Siglo de Oro espanol, Dido se suicido para no ceder a las demandas de un segundo matrimonio de Jarbas, el rey de los libios, que insistentemente la requeria en matrimonio1. Esta tradicion, que o bien hace caso omiso de Virgilio, o le acusa implicita o explicitamente de falsario, ensalza la castidad de Dido, la viuda que, por fidelidad a su primer marido Siqueo, llega hasta el suicidio, cuidadosa y habilmente premeditado, preparado y ejecutado, para no ceder a una nueva union conyugal o, lo que es lo mismo para la epoca, amorosa. El arraigo de tal version en Espana se debe a Justino, que en su resumen de las Historias Filipicas de Trogo Pompeyo presenta a una Dido casta, …

La surabondance de l’Un puissance de toutes choses chez Plotin
2003
La problématique de l’Un et du multiple est, chez Plotin, cruciale. La question est de savoir comment de l’Un le multiple peut provenir. En effet, l’Un est transcendant à ce qu’il donne, mais le Premier surabonde, et cette énergie dérivée, née de son effusion et de sa profusion, se tourne vers lui et veut en être fécondée. Affronter le problème de cette dualité apparemment irréconciliable, c’est rechercher pourquoi l’Un surabonde, quelle est la nature de cette surabondance et comment celle-ci peut être au fondement de la procession/conversion.

Ética del deporte: La propuesta sustancialista de Lumpkin, Stoll y Beller, desde el procedimentalismo ético
2013
In this article the author presents critically the proposed sports ethics as «bag of virtues» that Americans made three authors are Lumpkin, Stoll and Beller. This proposal should be seen as a manifestation of substantialism neoaristhotelic in sport, with a clear influence of MacIntyre. My aim is to show how such substantialism not enough for a sports ethics proposal therefore advocate incorporate some of the ethical proceduralism budgets applied to sport.
