Metaforologia e historicidad. Sobre algunos problemas y perspectivas de investigacion
2003
The essay, firstly, points out the complexity of the levels on which the theme about historical characters of the uses of metaphors can be investigated, in the philosophical language. Then it claims that, specially as concerns this theme, ¿metaphorology¿ is more similar to the so-called ¿methodological hermeneutics¿ than to the ¿ontological¿ ones. In fact the important presence of ontological elements in the thought of Blumenberg (in any case the metaphorological studies have not to be reduced to it) does not compromise the essential methodological character of his research program.
De la felicidad mínima a la plena felicidad
2005
Men prosecute happiness; we are born to be happy. But, what is happiness? There is no universally accepted answer. The purpose of this study is two-faced: 1st. To justify that there are certain minimum elements in every form of happiness; 2nd. That different historical, sociological, anthropological...reasons support the rational and reasonable defence of different objective models of happiness. As a proof, two different models (the Christian and the lay models of happiness) are described. We conclude that full happiness is a utopia, and advance as an adequate model the rational and reasonable employ of the ¿carpe diem¿ maxim.
La sociedad civil desde la perspectiva metaestructural
2011
The draft of this work lies in raising the definition of civil society from the perspective of the thinker Jacques Bidet. At first highlights the theme of modernity and thus of the existence of a metastructure that resides in a contractual relationship for both sides. At the same type of two types of rationality that run along modernity to give a picture metastructural. Civil society, therefore, from the perspective requires metastructural centricity, the interindividual and associativity. Finally, civil society from this perspective involves a dialectic of conflict that involves a dialectical relationship between the contractual terms of the speech alone can lead to a dialogue of all which…
Ciudadanía sin límites: el trasfondo de la gobernanza global
2011
Current political theory agrees that world governance is necessary to respond to the challenge of global threats, and to the State's increasing incapacity to solve these problems and to create conditions for a new, fairer world order. In this scenario, the main actors would be new or transformed transnational institutions of a political, economic or social kind, amongst others. In this undercurrent, we encounter the citizen figure, specifically the cosmopolitan citizen. The article analyses some questions raised in this new scenario: what kind of citizen requires global governance, where to find guidance for this new process, and how to educate so that the final representation is not merely…

L'Assaig sobre l'origen del llenguatge de J.G. Herder
2011
This article analyzes Herder's conception of language through the Essay on the origin of language. Human beings have developed at the same time awareness and language in order to fill the gap that the loss of natural instinct leaves. To explain this process Herder defends a kind of naturalistic position against both arbitrary and divine origin of language. One of his main points is the influence of signals in symbols. On one hand, thanks to signals we can grasp and keep what is at the heart of the experience. On the other hand, human nature is a mixture of sense and reason so that signals have a close relation with symbols which are, in spite of that, freely chosen. From this peculiar choic…
Historiografía de la filosofía y neohistoricismo
2012
Article redefines the classic question of the history of Philosophy, its forms, meaning and justification, for this it incorporates the basic positions held on the subject by Fernando Montero and considers its connection with other contemporary approaches such as those of R. Rorty, with his distinction between historical reconstruction, rational reconstruction and Geistegeschichte approach, as three valid forms for the history of philosophy, that may also connect with the intellectual history, which takes us to the major historiographical transformations occurring along the last five decades associated with the names of Foucault, Koselleck, Blumenberg, Skinner and Pocock. Throughout this de…
Significado y valor: la crítica pragmatista al emotivismo
2006
Pragmatism and Logical Positivism constitute different traditions in philosophy, though for a period of time they shared some views and had intellectual and social interests in common. John Dewey, in particular, collaborated to the International Encyclopedia of Unified Science promoted by Carnap, Neurath, and other positivists. In this relationship, the topic of values were the main issue. For the positivist party, emotivism represented the 'official doctrine' regarding ethical (or, in general, evaluative) sentences; whereas for Dewey value judgements had full, genuine empirical meaning. Here we examine Dewey's crticism of emotivism as represented by its best known theorist, Charles L. Stev…
