The mystery of the Polish soul. B. W. Johnson's effectà rebours
1996
Studies conducted in Poland replicated a not very-well known effect discovered by B. W. Johnson (1937). In his study students estimated their mood on several successive days each time comparing it to the mood they usually have. The results revealed a peculiar positive bias in that the students usually defined their mood as 'better than usual'. Johnson's study was replicated in Poland, where demonstration of optimism is not a cultural norm. The results suggest that Polish subjects 'usually define their mood as worse than usual'. The generalization and limitation of this negative bias is discussed in the light of the Pollyanna Principle and related empirical studies involving Polish subjects.
In the Future Everyone Will Be a Fuzzy Set: Enric Trillas, FST as an Experimental Science and the Relationship with Theory of Concepts
2015
Enrique Trillas Ruiz has had a long association with Italy, and for ten years now has been in the Scientific committee of WILF, the International Workshop on Fuzzy Logic born and breed in our country; it was not until WILF 2009, which our research group organised in Terrasini (Palermo) and in which organising committee I sat, that I become aware of the “complementary soul” of Enric’s work. Up to that point I had stumbled upon his papers on fuzzy operators and logic, mostly the joint works of him and Claudi Alsina, such as [1, 2, 21], but my research interest at the time seemed to me away and far apart from the ensemble of symbols and logical implication: I was trying to use the elements of …
Re-reading Mary Seacole’s Wonderful Adventures through Bernardine Evaristo’s Soul Tourists
2017
The essay illustrates the ways in which the incorporation of authentic excerpts from Mary Seacole’s autobiography in Bernardine Evaristo’s novel Soul Tourists acquires a significant cultural value within the novel’s representational strategies. The essay also explores the extent to which Seacole — together with her work — can be thought of as a litmus paper in the context of Britain’s self–representation and strategies of identity delineation.
Las cadenas, el sepulcro y el fango del Hades. Platón y la meditatio mortis en el Fedón
2012
Resumen: Nuestro propósito en estas páginas es analizar sucintamente la concepción de la filosofía como una meditatio mortis propuesta por Platón en el Fedón, y algunas de las ideas más importantes vinculadas con ella, como son la idea del dominio de la razón sobre deseos, pasiones y sentimientos, el carácter absurdo del temor a la muerte o la concepción del lenguaje como un fármaco destinado a desapegar el alma de los males del cuerpo en la medida de lo posible. The aim of this paper is to succintly analyze the conception of philosophy as a meditatio mortis presented by Plato in the Phedo, as well as some of the most important ideas associated with it: the command of reason over desires, p…

Translation and terminology. On two Spanish versions (Madrid, 1800) of Dumarsais’ Logique
2013
This article is the Spanish version of “Traduction et terminologie. A propos de deux versions espagnoles (Madrid, 1800) de la Logique de Dumarsais” by Brigitte Lépinette. It was not published on the print version of MonTI for reasons of space. The online version of MonTI does not suffer from these limitations, and this is our way of promoting plurilingualism. Framed in the field of philosophical translation (lato sensu), this article deals with two different versions of Logique by Dumarsais (Paris, 1730) published in Spain. We show that these two “Lógicas”, translated by two different persons, who also had distinct purposes as is evidenced by their respective bibliographical context and met…
Receptive to Reality: Al-Ghazālī on the Structure of the Soul

Human Soul, Body and Life Horizons
2013
Phenomenology of life develops an essential transformation of the positioning of life, human being, soul and life horizons. Human soul reflects the passions of the earth and of the skies. There are two directions characteristic for the soul – upward and downward. Life horizons are closely connected with life forms, styles of living. It has been described in rather different cultures including post-modern culture. This paper deals with A.-T. Tymieniecka’s ideas about the New Enlightenment and critique of too narrow an explanation of human subjectivity and body and discusses the need for balance between soul’s directions and decreasing of materialistic, consumerism life form, orientations to …
Sobre De somniís liber de Augerius Ferrerius
2004
E-mail @uv.es: privado (a solicitud del interesado) En este libro Ferrer, en plena época renacentista, hace compatibles las teorías oníricas de los autores griegos con sus principios y punto de vista cristianos. Niega tajantemente que existan ensueños vanos y se interesa por los ensueños naturales, cuya génesis está en el estado psicofísico del individuo. Pero, sobre todo, presta su máxima atención a los ensueños divinos. Establece normas para distinguir éstos de los enviados por los malos espíritus. Afirma que ha descubierto mediante la razón y la propia experiencia claves para la interpretación de los ensueños que los filósofos anteriores no llegaron a descubrir. In this book, published d…
