Hermenéutica genealógica desde el cuerpo
2009
El objetivo de esta contribución es mostrar la transformación hermenéutica de la filosofía a través de la genealogía de Nietzsche, su consideración del cuerpo, el poder, el valor y el sufrimiento; a diferencia de Heidegger y Apel, ésta es una hermenéutica genealógica de la experiencia a partir del cuerpo, que puede conectarse con el pensamiento español de Zubiri y Laín Entralgo.
Pragmatist Perspectives on Theological and Religious Realism
2014
This essay first applies the general issue of realism vs. antirealism to theology and the philosophy of religion, distinguishing between several different ‘levels’ of the realism dispute in this context. A pragmatic approach to the problem of realism regarding religion and theology is sketched and tentatively defended. The similarities and differences of scientific realism, on the one hand, and religious and/or theological realism, on the other hand, are thereby also illuminated. The concept of recognition is shown to be crucially relevant to the issue of realism especially in its pragmatist articulation.
La tesis de Weber en torno al capitalismo en el 500 Aniversario de la Reforma Protestante
1970
La tesis de Weber respecto a una hipotética huella del protestantismo en el «espíritu» del capitalismo ha sido ampliamente difundida. Sin desmerecer su planteamiento (la indemostrabilidad no resta verosimilitud), lo cierto es que, siendo una hipótesis difícilmente falsable, de ella han derivado formulaciones poco cuidadosas que vendrían a justificar las actuales circunstancias económicas con hechos religiosos diferenciales. Siendo la religión un hecho omniabarcador sin igual, tales circunstancias dependen de muchos factores. Se ha pretendido conferirle validez científica a partir de datos socioeconómicos de lo más variado. Algo aplicable también a quienes pretenden refutarle. La intoxicació…

Conflicts over the provision and payment of wages of the "pavordías" of the University of Valencia during the second half of the seventeenth century
2002
Este artículo analiza las causas que influyeron en la dificultad de dotar las pavordías de la Universidad de Valencia en la segunda mitad del seiscientos. Los incrementos salariales de los pavordes, los gastos provocados por los continuos pleitos con los canónigos, la disminución de la renta de la pavordía, la reclamación por la Cámara Apostólica de los quindenios correspondientes y el desacuerdo entre la Ciudad y los pavordes respecto al estado de las cuentas se conjugaron para provocar la paralización de la provisión de preposituras. Situación a la que sólo la firma de las sucesivas concordias de 1669 y 1680 entre la Ciudad y los pavordes consiguió poner fin. This article analyzes the cau…
Self-care and total care: the twofold return of care in twentieth-century thought
2020
The paper studies two fundamentally different forms in which the concept of care makes its comeback in twentieth-century thought. We make use of a distinction made by Peter Sloterdijk, who argues that the ancient and medieval ‘ascetic’ ideal of self-enhancement through practice has re-emerged in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, particularly in the form of a rehabilitation of the Hellenistic notion of self-care (epimeleia heautou) in Michel Foucault’s late ethics. Sloterdijk contrasts this return of self-care with Martin Heidegger’s concept of being-in-the-world as ‘total care’ (Sorge), an utterly ‘secularized’ understanding of the human being as irreducibly world-embedded that reject…

Spirituality and Ethnocultural Empathy Among Italian Adolescents: The Mediating Role of Religious Identity Formation Processes
2019
The current study examined the unique and combined roles of spirituality and religious identity formation processes on ethnocultural empathy among Italian youth. Spirituality was conceptualized as a desire for self-transcendence. Ethnocultural empathy entails concern for those of other cultural backgrounds. It was hypothesized that spirituality would predict ethnocultural empathy indirectly by way of religious identity commitment and in-depth exploration. Religious identity commitment is the extent to which people have invested in a particular religious worldview and community, whereas religious identity in-depth exploration is the degree to which they are actively seeking to learn more abo…

‘That is Why I Gave In to Age My Competitive Ability, but Not My Soul!’ A Spiritual Journey in Endurance Running
2012
In this article, we explore the spiritual dimensions of endurance running. Utilizing existential psychology as our theoretical framework, we approach spirituality as a broad concept encompassing both religious and humanistic worldviews. Through the first author's reflexive narrative and a discourse analysis of a Finnish runner's magazine, Juoksija, this study aimed to gain a deeper understanding of how distance runners negotiate dominant discourses on sport and religion in the process of making running existentially meaningful to them. The research results suggest that spiritual aspects of running underlie, but are rarely given voice in, the performance discourse that is dominant in Finnish…
