Traditional use of medicinal agents: a valid source of evidence
2013
Traditional knowledge uncovered by serious historical research may help to identify new therapeutic agents. It also plays a part in safety evaluation and drug regulation. So far, however, this way of gaining knowledge is very much neglected in the concept of evidence based medicine, which is in no way contradictory to traditional use. Thus, the true meaning of the word 'tradition' is described, while reliable historical sources are quoted. It is then shown how research into the traditional use of medicinal plants is able to reveal knowledge about efficacy and safety of natural products. Several examples successfully leading to new therapeutic options are given. It is then referred to the co…
Il riconoscimento reciproco del maschile e del femminile nella prospettiva della pedagogia fondamentale
2017
Il saggio descrive i dati fenomenologici elementari delle identità dei generi, la genitalità anatomica e il gender. Questo secondo reperto si presenta come l’aspetto malleabile della sessualità umana; la variabilità non è però assoluta: il corpo non può essere annullato e con esso le proprietà del corpo femminile e di quello maschile, congegni atti a generare una nuova vita della specie umana. Questi rilievi sono visti nella prospettiva dell’azione educativa, qui intesa come relazionalità riconoscente. Ora, una tale prospettiva consente di definire le identità dei generi come un’esistenziale, intenzionalità situata e desituante legate da un’unità originaria che ha la sua condizione di possi…
Edusemiotics, Existential Semiotics, and Existential Pedagogy
2016
This chapter examines how the edusemiotic understanding of education can be developed by utilizing certain notions arising from existential pedagogy and existential semiotics. The chapter begins by the authors’ interpretation of Martin Heidegger’s semiotically useful concept of unconcealment in terms of a pedagogical theory compatible with the concept of Bildung. The chapter proceeds to demonstrate how it has been implemented in philosophy of education so as to articulate an existentially discontinuous form of education. Education viewed as the most important task of/for humanity entails a fundamental disruption of continuity: we do not know what kind of humanity we want or need as a way of…

Actualidad de la filosofía In-sistencial: el personalismo comunitario In-sistencial de Ismael Quiles SJ
2016
This text presents the proposal of In-sistencial philosophy developed by Ismael Quiles, analyzing various aspects. The first is to place Quiles in the philosophical and historical context, analyzing his intellectual formation in Spain and in his exile in Argentina, seeing the stages of his thought. Secondly, I see Quiles relations with existentialism of Heidegger, Sartre and Gabriel Marcel. Third, I try to justify that his thinking belongs to the current communitarian personalism, but not shed Buber’s Jewish orientation, but Christian. Lastly argue that despite his adherence to Christianity, we can not consider him just as a Christian philosopher, but as a philosopher who, influenced by Eas…

Sobre la sociedad civil como fuente de pluralismo: interrogantes previos a una afirmación.
2019
Frente a los riesgos del monopolio de significados sobre la vida en común, la sociedad civil puede actuar como fuente de reconocimiento y desarrollo de identidades, pero afirmarlo requiere que previamente se establezcan nuevos puntos de partida para el análisis sobre su significado. Apoyados en esta premisa, proponemos un cuestionamiento a la apropiación teórica y práctica que desde la dimensión política se ha hecho y establecemos la redefinición de lo cívico como el sustento para un tipo de pluralismo basado en la capacidad para expresar y conocer por medio de la razón.

La importancia del filosofar en español para Juan David García Bacca: literatura y transustanciación.
2017
RESUMENEl presente artículo pretende dar cuenta del origen y cambio radical de paradigma filosófico sufrido por el filósofo de origen Navarro Juan David García Bacca. En especial, trataremos de analizar cómo y por qué razón, el filósofo español pasa de desestimar la posibilidad de una forma propia del filosofar español desde una perspectiva ontológica, hasta tratar la poesía y la literatura como las formas idiosincráticas del hacer filosofía en español. Esta forma característicamente española de hacer filosofía en español será, pues, determinante para la comprensión del abandono de la etapa existencialista garcibaccquiana, y su renovado interés por la obra del poeta Antonio Machado, y su fi…
Necessary Transformation or Safe Permanence? A Philosophical Approach to the Desire for Change
2011
What is proposed is a meditation on the phrase ‘transformation of the educational system’, paying attention to the sense of the words, and showing what the desire for educational change can reveal. After explaining to what extent ‘educational system’ is a quasi-oxymoron, the meaning of ‘transformation’ has to be compared to those of revolution and utopia. The claim to be transforming the educational system is an attempt to adapt education to social and political situations and constraints. The case of the Langevin-Wallon project in France, which was never applied, helps when wondering what has to be adapted to what. What sort of reciprocity is there between school and society? The organisa…
