The Imperative of Addressing the Contemporary Crisis of Economics with Spiritual Intelligence
2013
Abstract The current global economic crisis has also drawn an increasingly obvious crisis of the economic theories. Thereby are more and more voices that calls for quitting the rather mechanistic, mathematical, determinist or pure rational approaches in favor of either sociological, psychological, historical, cultural or merely ethical ones, or, most often, a combination of some or all of these. In this paper I argue that the most needed approaches are now the anthropological ones that start from the spiritual considerations about human intelligence.
Treasure Hunts in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries
2012
The religious dimension of the treasure hunt declined as the nineteenth century progressed. The belief in ghosts lost ground or transformed into spiritualism and an interest in the more or less vulgarized forms of what would become known as ‘parapsychology’.1 Without the ghosts who needed to be redeemed, the religious overtones of treasure hunting disappeared. Even news about treasure in an ecclesiastical context was void of spiritual meaning.
BOLOGNE ET LES ÉTUDES : CONSIDÉRATIONS SUR LE CHAPITRE V DES FIORETTI
2013
International audience; Le chapitre V des Fioretti de saint François évoque la fondation des Frères Mineurs à Bologne. Des éléments historiques y sont repérables, des éléments polémiques aussi, puisque la "question des études" animait fortement les débats entre Spirituels et Communauté. Les Fioretti traitent-ils pour autant cette question de façon polémique? Une approche à la fois historique et comparative permet de déceler la dimension mythique de ce chapitre sous forme de mise en scène littéraire et hagiographique. Les Fioretti ne sont ni apocalyptiques comme les textes d'Angelo Clareno, ni polémiques comme un Iacopone da Todi qui s’écriera « Mal vedemo Parisi, che àne destrutt’Asisi », n…
The Social Background of Treasure Hunters
2012
We have already referred to the treasure hunt in Westminster Abbey. The organizer and initiator of this venture was Davey Ramsey, the clock- maker of King James I and his successor. Some of his works are now in the British Museum. Ramsey had some financial difficulties but he was well-connected at court. We mentioned in Chapter 6 that he managed to receive royal permits to search for treasure in 1628 and in 1635. Nothing seems to have come of these enterprises. In the winter of 1632/33, he received a permit from the Dean of Westminster to search for treasure in the cloister of the abbey. Ramsey did not undertake the hunt alone. He mustered the support of William Lilly, the renowned London a…
Learning mechanisms in multidisciplinary teamwork with real customers and open-ended problems
2015
Recently, there has been a trend towards adding a multidisciplinary or multicultural element to traditional monodisciplinary project courses in computing and engineering. In this article, we examine the implications of multidisciplinarity for students’ learning experiences during a one-semester project course for real customers. We use a qualitative research approach and base our analysis on students’ learning reports on three instances of a project course titled Multidisciplinary working life project. The main contribution of this article is the unified theoretical picture of the learning mechanisms stemming from multidisciplinarity. Our main conclusions are that (1) students generally hav…
Kontemplativ, handlingsrettet spiritualitet - Stille stund og ledelse i Oxfordbevegelsen belyst ved nedtegnelser fra Erling Wikborg
2014
Author's version of an article in the journal: Teologisk tidsskrift. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.idunn.no/tt/2014/04/kontemplativ_handlingsrettet_spiritualitet_-_stille_stund_ Contemplation and belief in guidance from God had a distinct design in the international ecumenical revival the Oxford Group which gained great support in the interwar period. In this movement, contemplation, called quiet time, was focused on intention and action in order to grasp and carry out God’s guidance. The article examines teaching about and practice of quiet time and guidance in the Oxford Group and shows how these phenomena relate to a broader historical context within Christianity. Note…
El inefable sendero del budismo zen electrónico: Nam June Paik
2009
Nam June Paik conoce en 1958 en Alemania al músico vanguardista John Cage, quien estaba profundamente interesado en el budismo zen. Este compositor norteamericano no sólo convencerá al artista coreano para que oriente su carrera musical hacia la vanguardia, sino que impulsará su interés por el budismo zen. También, su temprana unión con Beuys, Maciunas y otros artistas del movimiento Fluxus le dieron la necesaria libertad para introducirse en el arte más experimental desde principios de los años 60. Paik no sólo ha indagado teóricamente en el budismo zen, sino que incluso mantiene algunas de sus prácticas, aunque no se considere un practicante ortodoxo. Su objetivo es recrear una serie de c…
Spiritual search through tourism.Your articulation from the side of the offer
2020
Desde mediados del siglo pasado hemos asistido a una ampliación de las posibilida-des turísticas de forma creciente; han aparecido nuevos tipos o han diversificado su oferta (histórico, cultural, ambiental, étnico, etc.), ampliando así su campo de acción. Queremos pues, reflexionar sobre un nuevo tipo de turismo que se refiere a la circulación mundial de personas que en sus desplazamientos recorren las redes espirituales en busca de nuevas experiencias de lo sagrado y de la vivencia espiritual. Nos hemos acercado a este proceso de reencantamiento del mundo a partir de los centros de terapias holísticos que son en gran medida los nodos que articulan esta nueva espiritualidad transversal que …

Los "Sonetos espirituales" de Juan Ramón Jiménez: Macrotexto poético y cancionero amoroso
2012
El objetivo primordial de esta tesis es demostrar que los Sonetos espirituales de Juan Ramón Jiménez constituyen un modelo de macrotexto poético rigurosamente organizado. En efecto, existe la evidencia de una razón supratextual, ilativa, bajo la que se engloba premeditadamente todo el poemario dándole cohesión y organicidad y llevándolo a funcionar en su conjunto como una unidad de sentido, esto es, un cancionero amoroso. Para abordar y probar esta hipótesis hemos seguido la propuesta metodológica que el Dr. Arcadio López-Casanova expone en su estudio Macrotexto poético y estructuras de sentido. Análisis de modelos líricos modernos (2007). Por tanto, vinculado a la metodología macrotextual …
