An approach to Society and Education from Hermenuetics
Este es el primer libro de la colección HERMENEUTICS, SOCIETY AND INNOVATION. Los trabajos aquí presentados se acercan a la sociedad y la educación desde los presupuestos de la Hermenética Analógica, dos ámbitos esenciales, la sociedad en lo macro, la educación en lo micro, y que se interrelacionan profundamente. Son textos escritos en búsqueda de este término medio que pueda a la vez llevar un poco más lejos y un poco más cerca los pensamientos aquí expuestos.
The History of Philosophy in Colonial Mexico
Colonial Mexico represents a period of enduring philosophical importance. In areas of contemporary interest, such as semiotics, ontology, and logic, the work of Hispanic philosophers provides a valuable resource. This book presents a study of philosophical activity in Mexico from 1500 to 1800.
C. S. Peirce and the Deconstruction of Tradition
What professional philosophy needs most today is a new and fresh imagination. Only this will enable a move away from the traditional positions and schools such as realism, idealism, pragmatism, and empiricism. Nothing much will happen in philosophy as long as its main object is the defense of a position expressed in history. As this book argues, there is no thinker better positioned to overcome this impasse than Charles Sanders Peirce, who, through emancipation from the intellectual fortifications of the past, made a fresh imagination spring forth. This text ably guides the reader through the work and thought of Peirce. It first analyses his dialogue with the traditions of philosophy and semiotics, from Aristotle to the present day, before moving on to a close study of Peirce’s own ontology, epistemology and logic.
Thomistic Tradition and Human Rights
The present book verses on the current discussion, between authors writing within the Thomistic tradition, on the issue of human rights, and pretends to adjudicate that discussion. The positions of authors who are critical of the notion of human rights, like Michel Villey and Alasdair MacIntyre, as well as that of those who try to justify their existence and explain their nature, like Jacques Maritain, John Finnis, and others, are carefully explained and evaluated. This book is the first to deal in detail with this contemporary discussion and therefore represents an important contribution to the bibliography on the philosophy of human rights, as well as to the bibliography on the Thomistic tradition.
The Transatlantic Las Casas
Adding to the momentum of Lascasian Studies, this interdisciplinary effort of seventeen scholars offers sophisticated explorations of colonial Latin American and early modern Iberian studies.
Four Ages of Understanding
This book redraws the intellectual map and sets the agenda in philosophy for the next fifty or so years. By making the theory of signs the dominant theme in Four Ages of Understanding, John Deely has produced a history of philosophy that is innovative, original, and complete. The first full-scale demonstration of the centrality of the theory of signs to the history of philosophy, Four Ages of Understanding provides a new vantage point from which to review and reinterpret the development of intellectual culture at the threshold of "globalization". Deely examines the whole movement of past developments in the history of philosophy in relation to the emergence of contemporary semiotics as the d...
The Role of History in Latin American Philosophy
This book brings the history of Latin American philosophy to an English-speaking audience through the prominent voices of Mauricio Beuchot, Horacio Cerutti-Guldberg, María Luisa Femenías, Jorge J. E. Gracia, Oscar R. Martí, León Olivé, Carlos Pereda, and Eduardo Rabossi. They argue that Spanish is not a philosophically irrelevant language and that there are original positions to be found in the work of Latin American philosophers. Part I of the book looks at why the history of philosophy has not developed in Latin America. A range of theoretical issues are explored, each focusing on specific problems that have hindered the development of a solid history. Part II details the complex task of writing a history of philosophy for a region still haunted by the specter of colonialism.
Diversité et dialogue interculturel
Cet ouvrage a pour objectif de participer au débat contemporain sur les valeurs universelles de la modernité occidentale en identifiant son caractère univoque (ethnocentrique) qui déprécie ou minimise l’altérité contenue dans la multitude des expressions culturelles, pour façonner un modèle culturel hégémonique qui se maintient par la combinaison de la force (_hard power_) – ou l’utilisation du monopole de la violence légitime propre à la domination légale rationnelle des États-nations – et de la puissance douce (_soft power_) des moyens de communication de masse, de l’industrie du divertissement et du monde virtuel. Face à cet enjeu contemporain, ce livre présente...
