Aproximaciones a la filosofía política de la ciencia
Esta tarea indispensable de la filosofía política de la ciencia asumir el análisis crítico de las condiciones que harían compatible el desarrollo de la ciencia y la tecnología con el fortalecimeinto de la democracia. Esta tarea se hace más urgente en el contexto del mundo actual en que la ciencia, la tecnología y las nuevas tecnociencias, constituyen el factor principal de la vida social, tanto para la conservación del orden social como para su transformación en el ambiguamente llamada "sociedad del conocimiento".
The Power of Argumentation
This book is a collection of essays on the philosophy of Karl Popper written by some outstanding contributors from all the world around. Most of them are Popperians, some were Sir Karl’s students in his famous seminar at the London School of Economics and his research assistants. All have written books or papers on Popper’s philosophy and are notable professors at their universities. So, from a well-acquainted view of Poppers philosophy the book deals with present day philosophical problems and offers interesting interpretations. The first part is devoted to political philosophy and the second to philosophy of science. The volume is of interest for all those concerned not only in Popper’s philosophy but also in some the main scientific and political problems of today.
A Future without Borders? Theories and practices of cosmopolitan peacebuilding
A Future without Borders (FWB) offers an explanation of why the recent, but by now distant, movements of the “Occupy Wall Street” activists have repeated themselves across the globe. The book demonstrates some of the processes inherent to an adapting cosmopolitanism (a call for civility, a call for Justice, a call for a collective responsibility or accountability) that is not individualistic in nature. Until recently, the statal/national problems understood as politico-economic failures were conceived as isolated problems, failures of statal institutions that are particular to certain countries. FWB contests the Westphalian logic that explains these circumstances, as national failures and argues instead that the conditions be assessed as extensions of the global economic and ideological failures that they surely are. Contributors are: Anton Allahar, Arnold Farr, Andrew Fiala, Pierre-André Gagnon, Bill Gay, Kurtis Hagen, Linden F. Lewis, Tracey Nicholls, Richard T. Peterson, Jorge Rodriguez, Eddy M. Souffrant, and Hilbourne A. Watson.
Las teorías de la guerra justa en el siglo XVI y sus expresiones contemporáneas
La parte medular de este libro está dedicada al análisis de las tesis de los teólogos y filósofos españoles del siglo xvi, quienes -desde Vitoria, Las Casas y Ginés de Sepúlveda hasta Acosta- debatieron acerca de la justicia de la guerra contra los indios. En los últimos años, el contexto teórico y político ha transformado y enriquecido los términos del debate. La filosofía política, que durante mucho tiempo sólo reconoció sus raíces anglosajonas y francesas, se interesa cada vez más por sus raíces hispánicas. Por otro lado, los debates sobre "la teoría de la guerra justa" han tomado, desde hace unos veinte años, una nueva actualidad, bajo el efecto de las teorías llamadas "del derecho de ingerencia" y de la empresa de filósofos estadounidenses que tienden a construir una teoría moral de la guerra justa, apta para legitimar el recurso a la fuerza, substituyendo a las instituciones internacionales. Los textos aquí reunidos tienen como objetivo, entonces, analizar no sólo el estado actual de las investigaciones, en Francia y en México, sobre el alcance de los debates del siglo xvi español, sino también sus prolongaciones más actuales.
The School of Salamanca: A Case of Global Knowledge Production
Over the past few decades, a growing number of studies have highlighted the importance of the ‘School of Salamanca’ for the emergence of colonial normative regimes and the formation of a language of normativity on a global scale. According to this influential account, American and Asian actors usually appear as passive recipients of normative knowledge produced in Europe. This book proposes a different perspective and shows, through a knowledge historical approach and several case studies, that the School of Salamanca has to be considered both an epistemic community and a community of practice that cannot be fixed to any individual place. Instead, the School of Salamanca encompassed a variety of different sites and actors throughout the world and thus represents a case of global knowledge production. Contributors are: Adriana Álvarez, Virginia Aspe, Marya Camacho, Natalie Cobo, Thomas Duve, José Luis Egío, Dolors Folch, Enrique González González, Lidia Lanza, Esteban Llamosas, Osvaldo R. Moutin, and Marco Toste.
The Battle for International Law
This volume provides the first comprehensive analysis of international legal debates between 1955 and 1975 related to the formal decolonization process. It is during this era, couched between classic European imperialism and a new form of US-led Western hegemony, that fundamental legal debates took place over a new international legal order for a decolonised world. The book argues that this era presents in essence a battle, a battle that was fought out in particular over the premises and principles of international law by diplomats, lawyers, and scholars. In a moment of relative weakness of European powers, 'newly independent states' and international lawyers from the South fundamentally cha...
