El problema central de este trabajo es cómo hablar de normatividad del razonamiento heurístico. Defiende la idea de que comprender el carácter situado de la cognición permite explicar la dimensión normativa del razonamiento heurístico. Muestra que existe una relación entre, por un lado, el debate sobre si es posible hablar de normatividad del razonamiento heurístico o no y, por otro lado, un debate más general dentro de las ciencias cognitivas sobre el carácter situado de la cognición. Analiza la propuesta de Racionalidad Ecológica de Gerd Gigerenzer mostrando que, a pesar de que se presenta como afín a los estudios de cognición situada, sigue manteniendo una visión estándar ...
El término apropiación aparece en diversos momentos y con distintos sentidos a lo largo de la filosofía heideggeriana. En este volumen consideramos su sentido más amplio, esto es, el que lo comprende como un ejercicio del pensamiento que consiste en pensar con y a partir de otros, lo cual implica reconocer que pensar no se lleva a cabo en el vacío sino en un horizonte situado y determinado, en este caso, por la tradición. El título del volumen: La apropiación de Heidegger es deliberadamente ambiguo, por un lado, trata de la apropiación que Heidegger lleva a cabo de determinados filósofos en su quehacer filosófico, y por el otro, aborda la apropiación que connotados pensadores del siglo xx y xxi han llevado a cabo de la filosofía heideggeriana para lle-varla a cabo su propia filosofía. Así las cosas, los textos que aquí reunimos dan cuenta de ese ejercicio hermenéutico que se convierte en un círculo de sucesivas interpretaciones que lo único que comparten es pensar desde Heidegger
Pensar lo político es una tarea inacabada e inacabable porque el "vivir juntos" obliga a la constante revisión de las condiciones que hacen y harán posible la convivencia política con los otros y la viabilidad de la vida en común al interior de una ciudad. Volver a pensar nuestra forma de concebir la vida comunitaria y la gestión del intercambio social es el objetivo que persigue este libro al presentar un léxico de algunos vocablos fundamentales del pensamiento político en Occidente y en el marco propio de sus comienzos, es decir, en su inscripción griega porque volver sobre los propios pasos, afirma Leticia Flores Farfán, permitirá quizá encontrar otra forma de dialogar con nue...

Por su innovadora y fascinante visión de la materia, la vida, la mente, la sociedad, la información, la técnica y el conocimiento mismo, los estudios sobre la complejidad han ocupado un lugar especial en el panorama científico y cultural global de las últimas cuatro o cinco décadas. No obstante, aún estamos lejos de una teoría unificada de los sistemas complejos o de una propuesta formal aceptada universalmente, y tampoco existe un escenario académico unánime. Coexisten escuelas, tradiciones y perspectivas; en ocasiones, las palabras se usan con significados discordantes; hay encuentros y desencuentros conceptuales, hasta confrontaciones. Algo que es frecuente en el camino del pens...
After coming through the blizzard that almost cost them everything, Jens and the boy are far from home, in a fishing community at the edge of the world. Taken in by the village doctor, the boy once again has the sense of being brought back from the grave. But this is a strange place, with otherworldly inhabitants, including flame-haired Álfheiður, who makes him wonder whether it is possible to love two women at once; he had believed his heart was lost to Ragnheiður, the daughter of the wealthy merchant in the village to which he must now inexorably return. Set in the awe-inspiring wilderness of the extreme north, The Heart of Man is a profound exploration of life, love and desire, written with a sublime simplicity. In this conclusion to an audacious trilogy, Stefánsson brings a poet's eye and a philosopher's insight to a tale worthy of the sagasmiths of old.
This book examines the effects of Jewish conversions to Christianity in late medieval Spanish society. Ingram focuses on these converts and their descendants (known as conversos) not as Judaizers, but as Christian humanists, mystics and evangelists, who attempt to create a new society based on quietist religious practice, merit, and toleration. His narrative takes the reader on a journey from the late fourteenth-century conversions and the first blood purity laws (designed to marginalize conversos), through the early sixteenth-century Erasmian and radical mystical movements, to a Counter-Reformation environment in which conversos become the advocates for pacifism and concordance. His account ends at the court of Philip IV, where growing intolerance towards Madrid’s converso courtiers is subtly attacked by Spain’s greatest painter, Diego Velázquez, in his work, Los Borrachos. Finally, Ingram examines the historiography of early modern Spain, in which he argues the converso reform phenomenon continues to be underexplored.

This book seeks to offer a collection of relevant essays dealing with different aspects of dark tourism sites in the Iberian Peninsula, delving into issues related to shared attitudes in the face of death and suffering. Thus, all the chapters explore the ideological readings that may turn dark sites into places of dissonant heritage, and therefore make them meaningful elements in the formation of collective identities. Illustrating the multidisciplinary potential of dark tourism studies, the contributors come from different fields of study, including historiography, literary studies, sociology. This collection reflects on how tourism managers, researchers, academics, policy makers and local communities can mobilize, transition and adapt to cultural tourism fluctuations, as well as mitigate the negative impacts of global crises. It also provides examples of tourist practices which, despite their local scope, have a strong potential impact on collective and social levels, as well as on business and multiple fields of study, research and education.
Food is fundamental to health and social participation, yet food poverty has increased in the global North. Adopting a realist ontology and taking a comparative case approach, Families and Food in Hard Times addresses the global problem of economic retrenchment and how those most affected are those with the least resources. Based on research carried out with low-income families with children aged 11-15, this timely book examines food poverty in the UK, Portugal and Norway in the decade following the 2008 financial crisis. It examines the resources to which families have access in relation to public policies, local institutions and kinship and friendship networks, and how they intersect. Thro...
