Mujeres y espiritualidad: las beatas valencianas del siglo XVII
1991
Este artículo es un resumen del capítulo «El mundo enigmático de las beatas», incluido en mi tesis doctoral inédita «La Espiritualidad Valenciana. El lluminismo en los siglos XVI y XVII», dirigida por el Prof. Antonio Mestre y leída en la Universidad de Valencia el 31 de enero de 1989. En Valencia, a lo largo del siglo XVI, existían ejemplos de mujeres que, bien en sus casas solas o en comunidad con otras, emparedadas o no, dedicaban el resto de sus días a la religión. A estas conocemos con el nombre de beatas, fenómeno social de indudable interés en la espiritualidad valenciana del siglo XVII.
Le fantôme de Descartes
2012
Trop souvent, on considere l’histoire de la philosophie comme quelque chose de scolaire, qui n’eclaire pas la pensee. Or il en va tout autrement, puisqu’elle nous permet precisement de mieux contrer certains discours du monde contemporain, et d’echapper a l’enfermement du present. Comme le demontre l’exemple de la theorie du dualisme cartesien, qui permet de critiquer de maniere feconde l’approche reductrice des sciences cognitives.
The Claretian Community: The Exit Profile of Students at the Claret School of Barcelona
2022
This paper provides an analysis of the exit profile of a student who completes their studies at the Claret School of Barcelona, a primary and secondary educational institution belonging to the Claretian Community in Spain.

Mission versus ethics in 1 Corinthians 9? ‘Implicit ethics’ as an aid in analysing New Testament texts
2012
The central question concerning how mission and ethics are related arises within the context of the understanding of ethics itself and in this way often leads back to the familiar ‘indicative and imperative’ model. This oversimplified approach, however, is ultimately inadequate for the Pauline ethic in general and for the particular problem concerning mission and ethics. In this article, 1 Corinthians 9 was drawn upon as an example for the ‘implicit ethics’ model, a model which allows for a more nuanced presentation of the grounds and justification for behaviour and action. Through this approach it became clear that the proclamation of the Gospel does not have to be ‘unethical’; rather, it …

Love of Enemies in the Context of Antiquity
2001
Do we find the principle of ‘loving one's enemies’ or precursors thereof in pre-Christian antiquity? In the Greco-Roman tradition we find as a common maxim ‘helping friends and harming enemies’ combined with the talio and the Golden Rule.

The first to have understood Lev 19.18 in this sense seems to be Jesus. Christians have too rarely lived up to his commandment.
