Per un’educazione universale. La via del Buddhismo nelle società post-secolari
2018
The paper examines Buddhism as a religion that suggests to the post-modern and post-secular West a new, inclusive, non-violent and ecological education. It proposes an universal education that responds to the request of religiosity of our societies. Buddhism is investigated as a millennial pedagogy, in which the path of spiritual growth coincides with a path of self-education that is articulated through an interior and social education. The center of the Buddhist doctrine is the meditation (dhyan), that leads the disciple, with the support of a master and the community, for a rebirth that, declaring him as the author of his own realization, leads him to establish empathic relationship with …
El Terç del Cartoixà de Joan Roís de Corella. Edició i estudi
2016
La tesi doctoral "El Terç del Cartoixà de Joan Roís de Corella. Edició i estudi" fixa el text d'aquest incunable i el compara a doble columna amb el text del qual és deutor, la Vita Christi de Ludolf de Saxònia. La datació de l'obra, entre febrer i març de 1495, i l'atribució a un taller, el de Hagenbach-Hutz a la ciutat de València, es realitza per mitjà de l'anàlisi de dades codicològiques i d'història de la impremta en aquesta ciutat. Aquesta anàlisi permet també situar adequadament el projecte d'edició dels quatre volums que conformen el Cartoixà de Corella a finals del segle XV. La comparació del text català amb el llatí permet descobrir les diferents tècniques usades per l'autor valen…

Electromagnetic Radiation, a Living Cell and the Soul: A Collated Hypothesis
2015
The soul is believed to be an immortal essence of living things in scores of philosophical and religious traditions but sparsely understood by science. The word ‘soul’ does not have a scientific definition but through this paper is hypothesized to be an indefinite, non-structured, massless energy made up of electromagnetic radiations that is confined in the cytoskeletal network of the biological cell. Electromagnetic radiations continually interact with the biological cell and propagate within the cell; by a pathway known as ‘Cell-Soul Pathway’. This pathway is a coherent, imperceptible, uncontainable and recyclable support pathway, which uses this energy to promulgate consciousness in a bi…
La committenza gesuitica e la pittura a Palermo tra XVI e XVIII secolo
Il presente lavoro di ricerca mira ad approfondire e arricchire, mediante nuove acquisizioni, lo studio in merito alle opere pittoriche di committenza gesuitica custodite presso le fondazioni palermitane dell’Ordine: chiesa del Gesù a Casa Professa, Collegio Massimo dei Gesuiti, chiesa di San Stanislao Kostka e chiesa di San Francesco Saverio. A queste si aggiungono i dipinti di committenza della Compagnia trasferiti presso altre sedi. Ulteriore intento è quello di organizzare in maniera più organica la trattazione delle commissioni artistiche dell’Ordine a Palermo, che si presentava dispersiva e frammentaria. Tra i risultati più significativi si annovera il ritrovamento di un ciclo di affr…
The healing from another paradigm: neoshamanisms and its global emergency in the Spanish case
2021
Resumen Entre la multitud de medicinas y terapias alternativas presentes en el mundo Occidental, el neochamanismo es una de las que, en la actualidad, ha despertado mayor interés y que se sitúa entre las nuevas formas espirituales y los procesos de patrimonialización fruto de la modernidad globalizada. En este artículo se muestra el proceso de reconfiguración de prácticas y conocimientos ancestrales, -etiquetados como chamánicos- y cómo éstos constituyen una respuesta adaptativa en la búsqueda de nuevos espacios vitales y de experiencias colectivas que den sentido a la existencia en el contexto occidental. Desde el caso español y tomando la Comunidad Valenciana como unidad de análisis, nos …
La intimidad corporal en la filosofía de Ortega y Gasset
2015
[EN] In the face of the social crisis of intimacy for the extimacy, in neurosciences, and its reduction to privacy in legal field, this article explains the orteguian idea of the intimacy highlighting its bodily character. This notion of intimacy, rooted in body, discovers the sentimental aspect of reality (lyricism), and also overcomes thingism and subjectivism through the analysis of the mechanism of metaphor and the capacity of entering yourself. Reality of intimacy is conceived as enforceability (executive reality), and represents an alternative to idealism, objetivism of conscience and psychological introspection.
How Body and Soul Interact with the Spiritual Mind: Multimodal Cognitive Semiotics of Religious Discourse
2008
Cognitive Linguistics as an enterprise provides new theoretical and methodological instruments in understanding the relationship between people's thoughts and the language they use. Spiritual and religious experiences (particularly the ones involving some type of revelation from or communication with a transcendent being) are especially interesting since they involve some type of external, physically invisible force or agent, contributing an "ineffable" quality to the phenomenon. However, people can and do describe such events, and metaphors and blends pervade the representations of certain concepts of the transcendental when attempting to talk about such abstract ideas. One of the main ten…
Striving for Significance: The Relationships Between Religiousness, Spirituality, and Meaning in Life
2015
The aim of this study was to investigate whether religiousness and spirituality are associated with meaning in life, and which dimensions of religiousness and spirituality show the closest links with meaning in life. It was assumed that those religious and spiritual dimensions which are most imbued with meaning would be more significant for the presence of meaning than for the search for meaning in life. Two studies were conducted. The results of Study 1 showed that the “religious meaning system” was positively associated with “meaning in life,” with stronger connections for “presence of meaning” than for “search.” As regards “religious coping,” positive coping was positively related to pre…
Spiritual Well-being in Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Receiving Noncurative Chemotherapy
2017
Spiritual well-being (SWB) is an important quality-of-life dimension for cancer patients in the palliative phase. Therefore, it is important for healthcare professionals to recognize the concept of SWB from the patient's point of view. A deeper understanding of how patients experience and reflect upon these issues might influence patient care. The aim of this study was to explore SWB in colorectal cancer patients receiving chemotherapy in the palliative phase. We used a qualitative method of in-depth interviews and a hermeneutic editing approach for the analyses and interpretations. Twenty colorectal cancer patients in the palliative phase, aged 34 to 75 years, were included: 12 patients we…
