Constantine X Doukas (1059–1067) versus Uzes – about the Nomads on Boats on the Danube in 1064
2021
The reign of the Doukas dynasty in 1059–1078 was a time when new threats to the Byzantine Empire emerge in Europe and Asia. One of them was the increased activity of Turkmen who were penetrating the lands belonging to the Byzantines. A manifestation of these threats was visible during the rule of Constantine X Doukas (1059–1067) in 1064. We have there an invasion of the tribe of Uzes, who crossed the Danube. They ventured so far, as the vicinity of Thessalonica and the province of Hellas, plundering everything in their path. Their actions surprised the defense of the Byzantines. This attack on the empire was related to their crossing of the Danube, about which Michael Attaliates and Skylitz…
Entre la reforma y la revolución. La labor del Gobierno Provisional de la Segunda República Española (abril-octubre de 1931)
2014
La presente tesis doctoral se centra en analizar la actividad desarrollada por el Gobierno Provisional de la República Española desde su toma de posesión el día 14 de abril de 1931 hasta su primera crisis ministerial, acaecida en la madrugada del día 14 de octubre del mismo año. Tomando como fuentes documentales la prensa de la época y las publicaciones legislativas oficiales, se analiza el curso de los acontecimientos políticos más relevantes del periodo, comenzando por el propio proceso de transición política de la Monarquía a la República, con las primeras medidas de institucionalización jurídica del nuevo régimen, tales como la aprobación del Estatuto Jurídico de la República, los nombr…
Necessity of Protecting Religious Feelings under Criminal Law in a Democratic State
2021
Offending religious feelings, as referred to in Article 196 of the Polish Penal Code, was criminalized as follows: ‘Any person who offends the religious feelings of others by publicly insulting an object of religious worship or a place dedicated to the public celebration of religious rites shall be liable to a fine, restriction of freedom or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years.’ This study highlights some doubts concerning the protection of freedom of conscience and religion using the example of the crime of offending religious feelings and attempts to prove the necessity of such protection in the Republic of Poland, a democratic state ruled by the law. The study first examines wh…
Political Extremism and Rationality
2002
Political extremism is widely considered to be the product of irrational behavior. Originally published in 2002, the distinguishing feature of this collection by well-known economists and political scientists from North America, Europe and Australia is to propose a variety of explanations which all insist on the rationality of extremism. Contributors use variants of this approach to shed light on subjects such as the conditions under which democratic parties take extremist positions, the relationship between extremism and conformism, the strategies adopted by revolutionary movements, and the reasons why extremism often leads to violence. The authors identify four core issues in the study of…
Religion, Empathy, and Cooperation: A Case Study in the Promises and Challenges of Modeling and Simulation
2019
The Cognitive Science of Religion (CSR) is developing a sophisticated naturalistic account of religion, grounded in empirical research. However, there are limitations to establishing an empirical basis for theories about religion’s role in human evolution. Computer modeling and simulation offers a way to address this experimental constraint. A case study in this approach was conducted on a key theory within CSR that recently has come under serious challenge: the Supernatural Punishment Hypothesis, which posits religion facilitated the shift from small, homogeneous social units to large, complex societies. It has been proposed that incorporating empathy as a proximate mechanism for cooperati…
A relevância ética da contemplação estética
2012
Schopenhauer organized his philosophy of the world as will and representationsystematically, dividing the work into four sections. The unity of the essence of the worldarises in different ways, according to the four books of the main work, by means of ournatural volitional and purposive cognition (book 1), the recognition of the “objectity” of thewill, experienced on the own body (book 2), the possibility of ideal cognition, freed fromthe will, in aesthetic contemplation (book 3) up to the understanding (“Durchschauung”)of the principium individuationis: the self-knowledge of the will (book 4). In this article,the theory of aesthetic contemplation is regarded as a philosophy of consciousnes…

Aportación documental al retablo Mayor de la Iglesia de la Natividad de La Font de la Figuera de Joan de Joanes
2008
Se da a conocer un documento inédito para la historiografía joanesca, el contrato del retablo Mayor de la Iglesia de la Natividad de la Font de la Figuera, lo cual nos permite establecer una correcta atribución a Joan de Joanes, la fecha de realización, sus comitentes así como la composición de esta obra en su origen, entrando a formar parte del escaso legado documental de este período del arte valenciano.

Pugnas por el control de la universidad después de la expulsión de los jesuitas
1990
Mi interés se centra en el análisis de los efectos del extrañamiento en los estudios universitarios y concretamente en Valencia. Resulta evidente que el decreto de extrañamiento produjo una efervescencia reformista en la Universidad. Es lógico porque, desde el momento en que empezó la campaña antijesuita, una de las razones alegadas fue la decadencia cultural que habían propiciado los padres de la Compañía a quienes se les atribuía el control de los instrumentos de poder. Así, los reformistas establecieron siempre una conexión entre la llegada al poder de los manteístas y la reforma de las letras. Desde esa perspectiva se comprende la expectación suscitada por el decreto de expulsión de los…
