The Evolutionary Argument Against Naturalism
Contemporary discussions in metaphysics, epistemology and philosophy of mind are dominated by the presupposition of naturalism. Arguing against this established convention, Jim Slagle offers a thorough defence of Alvin Plantinga's Evolutionary Argument against Naturalism (EAAN) and in doing so, reveals how it shows that evolution and naturalism are incompatible. Charting the development of Plantinga's argument, Slagle asserts that the probability of our cognitive faculties reliably producing true beliefs is low if ontological naturalism is true, and therefore all other beliefs produced by these faculties, including naturalism itself, are self-defeating. He critiques other well-known epistemo...
Para una superación del paradigma epistemológico: Rorty a través de su doble lectura de Heidegger.
Rorty emprenderá un ingente intento por superar el paradigma epistemológico, pretendiendo abandonar la imagen platónica heredada de la filosofía y poniendo de relieve la urgencia de resolver problemas prácticos que suceden en nuestros días, ya sea en lo concerniente a nuestra relación con otros o con nosotros mismos.El viraje filosófico al que estamos a punto de asistir no tratará sin más de poner atención a los problemas actuales que nos acucian, sino que se consolidará como un ejercicio continuo de desmontaje de los problemáticos supuestos ontológicos y epistemológicos en los que las teorías del canon Platón-Kant podrían haber estado ancladas durante un amplio periodo de ...
Balnearios, veraneo, literatura: Agua y salud en la España contemporánea
Este libro colectivo ofrece una visión panorámica y transversal sobre el termalismo y el veraneo en la España de los siglos XIX, XX e inicios del XXI en sus distintas facetas y partiendo de múltiples perspectivas, que abarcan desde la historia económica, social y cultural o la geografía humana hasta la antropología, la historia del arte o los estudios literarios. En los doce capítulos que lo integran -firmados por dieciséis autores procedentes de siete universidades españolas, una inglesa y cuatro instituciones de investigación- se ha priorizado la profundización analítica sobre la mera representatividad territorial. Con ello se pretende aportar, a la par que una necesaria revisión historiográfica o distintos estudios de caso, un elenco de reflexiones y de puntos de vista teóricos y metodológicos que puedan resultar útiles para futuras investigaciones en un área temática -la de los precedentes históricos del turismo y las distintas implicaciones económicas, sociales y culturales de los mismos- que hoy aparece como prometedora en el ámbito de las ciencias sociales y humanas.
New perspectives in Audiovisual Translation
The aim of this book is to contribute to the dissemination of current research carried out by young scholars who are starting to build promising careers in the field of audiovisual translation. Although it is by no means an exhaustive collection of state-of-the-art approaches to AVT, this publication offers a carefully chosen list of research perspectives that are worth exploring in the current technologised landscape that this area of translation has become. Therefore, it represents a select yet judicious group of studies, with the added strength that the contributions presented here are not limited to academic circles, but rather offer different points of view from various angles, given the diverse profiles that characterizes the authors. Thus, each chapter deals with the subject of AVT from an academic, educational or professional perspective. As diverse as their approaches are, all the young authors who have collaborated to create this volume offer enriching perspectives that reflect the potential that AVT still has today and the prospective studies that are worth undertaking to continue enriching the field of AVT.
Before Middle Passage: Translated Portuguese Manuscripts of Atlantic Slave Trading from West Africa to Iberian Territories, 1513-26
On the 20th of January 1526, the Santiago left Lisbon bound for Africa with a cargo of brass and tin bracelets, round bells, barber basins and cloth; by early October the ship was back in Portugal with a very different cargo, 108 enslaved Africans. With chilling detachment the ship’s trading log records the commodification of human beings, the prices paid for them, the sums received for their sale and the number who did not survive the crossing. Whilst this log may be extremely rare, it is clear from another surviving document, the receipt book of the customs office of the Portuguese Cape Verde Islands, that such voyages were commonplace in the early years of the sixteenth century. The bul...
