La lucha por la Justicia
Es suficientemente reconocida la contribución de Ellacuría a la lucha por la justicia desde su contexto vital salvadoreño y latinoamericano como parte fundamental de su praxis biográfica. Su aguijón crítico incansable y la búsqueda de alternativas frente a las graves situaciones sociales en que vivió a través de sus opiniones públicas, de sus artículos científicos, desde su responsabilidad universitaria y desde su actividad pastoral y teológica, lo que le valió no sólo reconocimiento sino también persecuciones en distintos momentos de su vida; hasta que finalmente se la arrebató el ejército salvadoreño, en noviembre de 1989. Este libro recoge una selección de sus principales textos en el ámbito de la justicia y los derechos humanos.
The Liberating Philosophy of Ignacio Ellacuría
The Liberating Philosophy of Ignacio Ellacuría: Historical Reality, Humanism, and Praxis is the first systematic work on the philosophy of Ignacio Ellacuría to be published in English so far. The Spaniard-Salvadorian philosopher—murdered in Salvador in 1989 by the military—maintains that philosophy is a permanent task grounded in metaphysics as first philosophy, as developed within a historical reality and a preferential option for the poor. As explored by this collection edited by Luis Arturo Martínez Vásquez, Randall Carrera Umaña, and Luis Rubén Díaz Cepeda, Ellacuría's theory is a critical and practical proposal immersed in the colonial history of Central America, but its exp...
Ignacio Ellacuría, aquella libertad esclarecida
Ignacio Ellacuría moría asesinado -junto a cinco compañeros jesuitas y dos sencillas mujeres salvadoreñas- el 16 de noviembre de 1989. Moría donde había vivido: en el campus de la Universidad Centroamericana "José Simeón Cañas" (El Salvador), de donce era rector desde 1979. Harían falta tesis doctorales para desentrañar su pensamiento filosófico, teológico y político, para referirlo a su acción y contextualizarlo en el desarrollo de su rica personalidad. Se puede hablar de Ellacuría el vaso y el salvadoreño, el jesuita y el formador. Se puede hablar del filósofo y el teólogo. Del universitario, del político, del humanista, del hombre. Y se puede hablar del creyente que en...
Law from Below
"This book describes a political theology which provides a mode of engagement with unjust laws. It argues that the theology of Francisco Suárez, SJ, an early modern legal theorist and theologian, which was developed to combat an authoritarian view of law, may be successfully retrieved to provide a constructive model of legal engagement for Christians today, including the possibility that communities may work to change law from the ground up as they function within the legal system, not just outside it. His theory of law thus provides a theologically robust way to mount a counter-narrative to contemporary authoritarian theories of law, while still acknowledging the good in the rule of law and its imposition by a legislative authority. He acknowledges the crucial contribution of citizens to improving law's moral content, without removing the importance of law's own authority or the role of the lawgiver"--
The Theologian and the Empire: A Biography of José de Acosta (1540–1600)
Although Jesuit contributions to European expansion in the early modern period have attracted considerable scholarly interest, the legacy of José de Acosta (1540–1600) is still defined by his contributions to natural history. The Theologian and the Empire presents a new biography of Acosta, focused on his participation in colonial and imperial politics. The most important Jesuit active in the Americas in the sixteenth century, Acosta was fundamentally a political operator. His actions on both sides of the Atlantic informed both Peruvian colonial life and the Jesuit order at the dawn of the seventeenth century.
