Juan De Dios Vial Correa
La Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile ha llegado a ser una de las más importantes en América Latina en las últimas décadas. Esto se debe al trabajo de mucha gente, entre otros, al de quien fuera su rector entre 1985 y el 2000: el médico Juan de Dios Vial Correa. El presente libro incluye una selección de artículos, discursos, entrevistas y cartas, tanto de su periodo en la rectoría como de los años previos y posteriores al ejercicio de ese cargo. A través de ellos aparecen temas de la mayor relevancia, como la reforma universitaria, la importancia de las universidades católicas para el país, el valor de la ciencia y la formación de jóvenes, aspectos del magisterio de la Iglesia Católica o los desafíos del sistema universitario chileno. En estas áreas Vial fue testigo y actor de una época crucial y de grandes cambios en Chile. Este libro permite conocer el pensamiento universitario y social del rector Vial, así como nos adentra en la evolución de la Universidad Católica en las últimas décadas del siglo XX. El trabajo cuenta con un estudio preliminar del historiador Alejandro San Francisco, quien también realizó la edición de la presente obra.

Hope
In our times hope is called into question. The disintegration of economic systems, of states and societies, families, friendships, distrust in political structures, forces us to ask if hope has disappeared from the experience of today's men and women. In August 2019, up to 240 participants met at the international theological congress in Bratislava, Slovakia. The main lectures, congress sections and workshops aimed to provide a space for thinking about the central theme of hope in relation to philosophy, politics, pedagogy, social work, charity, interreligious dialogue and ecumenism.

Natural Law
Modern moral and political philosophy is in debt with natural law theory, both in its ancient and mediaeval elaborations. While the very notion of a natural law has proved highly controversial among 20th Century scholars, the last decades have witnessed a renewed interest in it. Indeed, the threats and challenges as result of multiculturalism, plural societies and global changes have generated a renewed attention to natural law theory. Clearly, it offers solid basis as possible framework to a better understanding of human goods without contradictions and partial bias. The purpose of the present volume is to provide an overview of the history of this concept (Cicero, St. Paul, Aquinas, Melanc...

From Big Bang to Big Mystery
Everyone knows about the 'mystery' of the Big Bang - what started it? This book is about the other 'creation mystery' - where did human beings, in particular, come from? It traces the material part of our origins from the Big Bang through evolution, including the almost 7 million year hominid sequence up to the first humans in Africa over 150,000 years ago. That data doesn't seem to explain what paleontologists and archaeologists call 'the Big Bang of Human Consciousness.' In his fascinating, accessible and thorough study, renowned priest and academic Brendan Purcell shows the complementarity that scientists, theologians, and philosophers bring to a deeper understanding of the mystery of human existence and human consciousness.
