Religious commitments can be a powerful engine for progressive social change, and in this new book, Raúl E. Zegarra examines the process of articulation of religious beliefs and political concerns that takes place in religious organizing and activism. Focusing on the example of Latin American liberation theology and the work of Peruvian theologian Gustavo Gutiérrez, Zegarra shows how liberation theology advocates have been able to produce a new balance between faith and politics that advances an agenda of progressive social change without reducing politics to faith or faith to politics. Drawing from theologian David Tracy's method of critical correlation, the book focuses on key historical...
María José Falcón y Tella invites us on a fascinating journey through the world of law and literature, travelling through the different eras and exploring eternal and as such current issues such as justice, power, resistance, vengeance, rights, and duties. This is an unending conversation, which brings us back to Sophocles and Dickens, Cervantes and Kafka, Dostoyevsky and Melville, among many others. There are many ways to approach the concept of “Law and Literature”. In the classical manner, the author distinguishes three paths: the Law of Literature, involving a technical approach to the literary theme; Law as Literature, a hermeneutical and rhetorical approach to examining legal texts; and finally, Law in Literature, which is undoubtedly the most fertile and documented perspective (the fundamental part of the work focusses on this direction). This timely volume offers an introduction to this enormous field of study, which was born in the United States over a century ago and is currently taking root in the European continent.
Evil and Givenness: The Thanatonic Phenomenon provides a phenomenological study of evil in its conceptual integrity.Describing a phenomenological situation exclusive to evil in its distinct mode of givenness and manners of manifestation, the account of evil in this book centers on the thanatonic as that phenomenality proper to evil. Although situated within a phenomenology of givenness via Jean-Luc Marion, the thanatonic is distinguished from saturated phenomena by giving itself in a parasitic mode. Brian W. Becker identifies four figures as displaying characteristics of this parasitic givenness—trauma, evil eye, foreign-body, and abject—each expressing a dimension of the thanatonic and ...
Este libro presenta los textos de una de las investigaciones fenomenológicas más originales que se han desarrollado en nuestra lengua: la investigación del colorido o la estampa de la vida, iniciada hace más de dos décadas por Antonio Zirión Quijano. A pesar del tiempo transcurrido, su autor presenta todavía hoy estos textos más como la introducción a una obra por venir —acerca de la fenomenología de la vida en concreción— que como la compilación de unos resultados definitivos. La voluntad de atrapar el elusivo fenómeno del colorido de la vida se vio obligada a cambiar el rumbo a medio camino, pero ha podido alcanzar, en una peculiar fenomenología del lenguaje, la constatac...

¿De qué forma comienza a organizarse el cuerpo del bebé para conocer su entorno? ¿Qué rol cumplen los otros, los objetos y el movimiento en el desarrollo del esquema corporal? La importancia del estudio de la infancia dentro de la fenomenología de Merleau-Ponty radica en la voluntad de desentrañar la génesis misma de nuestra percepción. En diálogo con los trabajos Jean Piaget y Henri Wallon, Merleau-Ponty analiza el desarrollo infantil desde una perspectiva que considera las condiciones materiales que rodean al niño y los lazos que establecen con sus cuidadores, como elementos definitorios de su ser en el mundo. La infancia presenta el vaivén vivo del sentido, de la organización...
Quien se haya adentrado en el pensamiento del filósofo francés Paul Ricœur tendrá presente alguna tensión conceptual o debate entre pensadores con los que se enfrentó su obra. Si hay algo que caracteriza su estilo de filosofar es haber hecho frente a este tipo de conflictos para intentar lograr alguna suerte de “reconciliación”, que adopta el rostro de dialécticas siempre abiertas, imperfectas e incluso asimétricas. Como fruto del Primer Coloquio Iberoamericano sobre el Pensamiento de Paul Ricœur se presentan reflexiones organizadas en tres dimensiones: algunas ensayan comprender, explicar y “aplicar” lo que sostenía Paul Ricoer. Otras toman su obra como plataforma para en...
