2021

Tehnoloģijas, īpaši mākslīgais intelekts, strauji attīstās. Posthumānisms kā teorija noraida humānisma antropocentriskumu, kas uzskata cilvēku par Visuma centru. Līdz ar augošo mijiedarbību start tehnoloģijām un cilvēku, robežas starp tiem pamazām izzūd. Šī darba mērķis ir izpētīt attiecības starp cilvēku un tā radīto būtni Ričarda Pauersa romānā “Galatea 2,2”, intelektuālo mašīnu un cilvēka mijiedarbību posthumānisma kontekstā un tehnoloģiju spēju parādīt pašapziņu par spīti to bezķermeniskumam. Helēna ir posthumānisma ķermenis, kuru cilvēki ir radījuši ar cerību, ka tā spēs nokārtot Turinga testu. Helēna sāk izrādīt apziņu, kas palīdz tai izveido ciešas attiecības ar Pauersu.

The Cultivation of Astronomy in Spanish Universities in the Latter Half of the 16th Century

2006

The four universities known to have taught mathematics in the 16th century in what is now known as Spain, were Salamanca, Valencia, Alcala, and, at the end of the century, Seville. In addition to being taught at university, astronomy was also taught in other institutions such as for example, the Casa de la Contratacion of Seville, the so-called Mathematics Academy of Madrid, certain naval academies and, towards the end of the century, certain Jesuit schools. At the University of Valencia, following the official foundation of the Estudi or center of learning in 1500, a chair of mathematics was set up in 1503, although we have no documentary evidence of the subjects taught there in the early …

Ode laica per Chibok e Leah

2019

The volume contains two short poems by Nigerian Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka ("No, He Said!", dedicated to Nelson Mandela, from the Author's 1988 classic collection "Mandela's Earth and Other Poems", and the recent "Mandela Comes to Leah", written purposely for this volume), along with the most recent long poem in five parts "A Humanist Ode to Chibok, Leah", published in English for the first time in 2019. The poem, and indeed the entire volume, denounces all forms of fundamentalism and fanaticism as opposed to secular humanism. Soyinka pays tribute to the girls abducted in Chibok and 15 year-old Leah Sharibu, one of the 108 girls abducted from Dapchi in 2018, comparing her firm refusal to r…

Las comedias de Alfonso de Aragón

2009

Son de sobra conocidas las adquisiciones por parte de Alfonso el Magnánimo de códices y obras de arte a lo largo de toda su vida y sobre todo a su llegada a Italia. De su biblioteca, lo único que tenemos actualmente es su desmembramiento entre las de París, San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Nápoles y Valencia. Sin embargo tuvo una época de esplendor que comenzó con el Magnánimo y prosiguió durante el reinado de su hijo Ferrante y sus nietos. La Commedia de Dante fue uno de los principales libros en su biblioteca junto con otros manuscritos latinos. (A)

Humanismo tecnológico: fundamento para una inteligencia artificial responsable

2019

Los rápidos avances en el campo de la inteligencia artificial (IA) en las últimas décadas ponen de relieve la necesidad de incorporar criterios éticos de responsabilidad. Esa incorporación permitirá el planteamiento de una inteligencia artificial responsable (IAR) que tendrá que fundamentarse en la formulación de un nuevo humanismo. Se entiende que a partir de un humanismo tecnológico se podría impulsar la IAR en el contexto tecnológico actual. Los desafíos de la IA imponen  el imperativo de plantear un humanismo de este tipo que asuma un compromiso con miras al futuro. En ese sentido, el humanismo tecnológico representa la exigencia de un tiempo de desafíos tecnológicos y a la vez una prem…

The New Gnosis and the Denial of Ontological Differences

2021

The current transhumanist or posthumanist movements continue the thesis of the old gnosis devaluing the creation like something imperfect. Its novelty is to believe in the possibility of overcoming the creation thanks to technology (biotechnology and bionics). The ideology of gender partly anticipates this way of thinking by devaluing the somatic difference between male and female. This denial of the differences then applies to those existing between the human and the non-human (on one side the primates, and on the other the computer). Posthumanism and transhumanism believe that technology will not only overcome the ontological differences, which form the human, but also the so-called extre…

Between Time and Culture: Anthropology and Historicity in the Study of Ancient Literature

2015

ENGLISH Since several decades the use of an ethno-anthropological approach has met with considerable success among classical scholars. The comparative analysis of ancient and ‘primitive’ cultures and the application of anthropological models to the interpretation of classical texts have stood out as a powerful alternative to traditional philology. This paper reassesses the complex relationship between cultural anthropology and classical studies, highlighting the relevance of historicity and diachronic factors as basic dimensions of both fields. Indeed, classicists referring to ethno-anthropology and its methods have sometimes inclined to see Graeco-Roman antiquity as a stereotypically homog…

Classical and humanist works in the libraries of early modern Finland between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries

2009

This article examines the presence of classical, humanist and neo-humanist works in the libraries of the Magnus Ducatus of Finland between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. In this period, Sweden went from being a member of a Scandinavian union dominated by Denmark to an imperial power administering large areas of north-central Europe, only to be subsequently demoted to the role of a regional player increasingly tossed about by her neighbours, especially Russia. Despite economic, political, religious and cultural turbulence, international trends seem to have reached the Magnus Ducatus Finlandiae, both through Finns studying at key centres of learning and culture, and through reading b…
