Theology of Work: New Perspectives emerges from the necessity to continue theological reflection on work in light of the challenges posed by our contemporary world. The contributions offer a global perspective of the meaning of work, drawing from Trinitarian theology, theology of creation, eschatology, theological anthropology, and Christology. They shed light from the perspective of faith on the integration of different work dimensions, and consider how the theology of work is called to challenge social structures in light of revelation. The volume mostly develops the theology of work from a Catholic perspective, but Protestant and Orthodox approaches are also explicitly explored. The chapters cover different theological areas, such as biblical, dogmatic, patristic, and moral theology, to provide enriching and complementary perspectives. Offering fresh and valuable theological insights on work, this book will be of particular interest to scholars of theology and religious studies.
Medieval thought, traditionally associated with great figures and with the works generated by an intellectual elite, encompasses, however, a much wider variety, and an extraordinary wealth, of texts, if one’s perspective is broadened to include all the individuals that made up the society in which it developed. Delving deep into the thought of an age entails an exercise of interdisciplinarity in which different dimensions and intellectual expressions all have a place. This volume provides a space where the various disciplines that tackle the multifaceted subject of medieval thought unfold. Through an analogy to the different levels of the acquisition of knowledge developed by the epistemol...

These chapters...

La Hispania de los siglos XI-XV desarrolló alrededor de la Biblia una cultura singular y plena, que es parte constituyente, y no un mero añadido superfluo, de la historia general de Europa. En el siglo XVI, precisamente cuando la monarquía española creyó que debía liderar el proyecto de una Cristiandad unida contra musulmanes y judíos, Europa se fraccionó. Entonces, la España oficial elaboró unos planes dirigidos hacia objetivos que, por un lado, traicionaban la historia que la había conducido hasta allí, y, por otro, la excluían de los fines y los planes de los reinos europeos, que antes la habían presionado sin cesar para que los aceptase. Tal es la tesis central de este libr...

Personalism seeks to understand the person in its richness, complexity, and unity, and, to achieve this goal, it has developed a rich and solid anthropology as well as an ethic of the person that is having repercussions in the philosophical and sociopolitical sphere. But what is the value of this philosophy? Does it offer a mere description of the reality of a phenomenological type, or does it penetrate to the bottom of what exists, offering its intelligible essence? Does it offer an ultimate explanation of the person, or is her vision subordinated to a deeper and more decisive one that would correspond to metaphysics? To answer these questions, the author, an international expert in persona...
El vacío y el centro es un libro de análisis textual orientado hacia una audiencia amplia. Se compone de tres ensayos sobre relatos de Sam Shepard, Medardo Fraile y Ana María Matute, que aspiran a introducir al lector en esa experiencia del sentido a la que un texto literario nos convoca. Se trata de un estudio interdisciplinar que nos remite a la psicología, la semiótica, la antropología y la filosofía.
