Tal como lo hizo Aristóteles con Nicómaco, o Savater con Amador, Héctor Sevilla ofrece un libro de ética a Sofía. No se trata de un conjunto de reglas para vivir de manera moral, sino de una invitación a reflexionar con libertad. No se necesita ser Sofía, ser mujer o transitar la adolescencia para encontrar provecho en las ideas vertidas en cada una de las cartas. Valentía, prudencia, cuidado de sí, solidaridad, desapego, resiliencia, gratitud y perseverancia, son solo algunos de los tópicos que se abordan con sencillez y soltura. Este cariñoso legado pretende hablar en nombre de todos los padres, incluso de aquellos que han partido.

La maravilla nos envuelve. Lo absoluto no se restringe a nuestras ideas. Por eso nos asombra. En este innovador texto, Héctor Sevilla explica ocho actitudes que se detonan ante el misterio de lo absoluto: experimentar el pathos de lo divino, aceptar que no se conoce a Dios, suspender el juicio, reconocer la vacuidad, concebir lo transpersonal, recobrar la empatía, educar de manera holística y expresar el asombro mediante el arte. Lejos de proponer un seguimiento acrítico de alguna de las actitudes descritas, el autor propone acceder al asombro, superando los obstáculos que lo impiden. En caso de lograrlo, percibiremos que el asombro es el punto de partida de nuestra experiencia transpersonal.

A new explanation of the relation between schooling and work in the democratic, advanced industrial state emerges from this study that rejects both traditional views and the more recent Marxian perspective. Traditional views consider schools as autonomous institutions that are able to pursue the goals of equality and social mobility irrespective of the inequalities of capitalist society; the Marxian perspective views schools as serving the role of producing wage-labor for capitalistic exploitation. The authors suggest that the shortcomings of both views are rooted in the fact that they do not recognize the true functions of the democratic, capitalist state. The state is seen as an arena for ...
Philosophical realism has taken a number of different forms, each applied to different topics and set against different forms of idealism and subjectivism. Maurizio Ferraris's Manifesto of New Realism takes aim at postmodernism and hermeneutics, arguing against their emphasis on reality as constructed and interpreted. While acknowledging the value of these criticisms of traditional, dogmatic realism, Ferraris insists that the insights of postmodernism have reached a dead end. Calling for the discipline to turn its focus back to truth and the external world, Ferraris's manifesto—which sparked lively debate in Italy and beyond—offers a wiser realism with social and political relevance.
