In Wonder as a New Starting Point for Theological Anthropology: Opened by the World, José Francisco Morales Torres constructs a new theological anthropology that begins with wonder. He contends that the visceral experience of wonder is an opening up of the human by an excess that saturates the world. This opened-by-ness points to a transforming receptivity as the basis of the person and to an extravagant Generosity that grounds all creation. Thus, wonder, which is grounded in generous Excess, is not only a gift but a demand: it calls for a liberative praxis that resist the forces that flatten the fullness of life into what is ‘useful’ and profitable and that reduce the limitless worth of fellow humans to mere commodities to be exploited and exchanged at the altar of the idolatrous ‘Market’. Wonder reveals a primordial receptivity in the human person, which demands of us an ethic of sustainability that does not reduce the other to commodity, a vulnerability that risks being opened by the other, a commitment to solidarity and liberation that resist the forces of an insatiable, idolatrous Market that seeks “only to steal and kill and destroy.”
Fifty years of preaching excellence in one volume.

Emerging from an era of mutual suspicion, the three streams have developed a better understanding, shared mutuality and respect for each stream...
La sociabilidad es una cualidad intrínseca del ser humano, y la interdependencia, la forma de relación social que ha permitido la supervivencia de nuestra especie. Depender de otros y, al mismo tiempo, ser responsable de ellos, requiere la intervención de mecanismos y procesos psicológicos, entre los que destacan la reacción automática de atracción o rechazo ante la percepción del otro y el conocimiento objetivo de esa persona a través de su conducta o de la información que transmiten los demás. Aquí intervienen otros muchos procesos (por ejemplo, la reputación, el etnocentrismo), regulados por factores cognitivos, emocionales y motivacionales. Aprovechar lo positivo y sacar par...

This book shows how children's work can take on widely differing forms; and how it can both harm and benefit children. Differing in approach from most other work in the field, it endeavours to understand working children from their own perspective.
