Why speak?
This philosophical work is a research about the meaning and importance of language. The author investigates the different comprehensions about language through various civilizations and philosophies. She proposes to understand it as a technique for survival, allowing culture and democracy. She notes that, even if it may be used for manipulation and exploitation, it is the best tool for freedom.
Time and Iconoclasm
Luisa Aurora Viviana Rodal, after graduating in Letters and Philosophy (UBA), realized during ten years different academic labors at various universities. During the years 1982 and 1983 she pursued postgraduate studies and researches at the Department of Religion, Syracuse University, New York, USA. Independently, she continued her studies in the fields of Religion and Ethics. This essay, meditated during a long period of time, includes themes that concern her: iconoclasm as the limit of the image and symbol and time as possibility of freedom and creation. She dedicates herself also to Art, especially to play violin.
Being Free
Freedom does not mean absence of coaction, which on the other hand is impossible for the limited human being (evidently through the elemental economic and material conditions). Freedom is referred to the responsibility that makes of autonomy a critizable authority. Therefore, justification is included in freedom and is born of the committed rationality of human being (who iconoclastically is able to eclypse manipulations and servility-)- In this sense, the democracy and utopia of freedom are mutually grounded if one does not understand utopia as an ideology or dogma to be applied over the person or the society. The opposition determinism-freedom should be overcome, hence, through a pragmatic attitude allowing freedom for individual and social creativity.
Peace and work
Peace and Work is a philosophical essay that analyses the relationship between these activities. There is a particular insistence in the importance of their mutual fecundity. The work realizes a historical philosophical exposition of both themes and offers a contemporary interpretation as conclusion.
Love: Eros
Love: Eros explains the philosophical, religious and literary understandings of love. Related to the essay Time and Iconoclasm, it offers a personal reflection on iconoclasm and utopia as a conclusion.
Savage Volga
Russia, 1774. A decade after the colonization of the Lower Volga, the German villages endure the siege of the barbarians that lurk in the region, as well as the threat of the armies led by Yemelian Pugachev, the rebel Cossack who intends to dethrone the empress Catherine II. In this turbulent setting, the village of Mariental is attacked by a group of Kyrgyz nomads, who kidnap, among other colonists, the young Katharina. Her brother Georg sets forth on her rescue along with a militia formed by inhabitants from different colonies. Meanwhile, Andrew, her other brother, joins Pugachev's rebellion and takes part in the destructive campaign against the tsarist government. This is the story of peo...
The Murmuring Waves
John Healy, born in Ireland, first arrived in Argentina at the age of twenty seven as a Catholic missionary priest. This intimate book relates his personal story from early childhood in the picturesque town of Westport to the present day in the city of Córdoba, Argentina. The intervening years are witness to many changes of location and lifestyle both in Ireland and Argentina. The most challenging and profound change occurred when he decided to retire from active priestly ministry after twenty five years. How much did those friendly letters from María, his future wife, unintentionally awaken the need to visit other dimensions of life still unexplored. This is a journey, profound it its simplicity, that leaves the reader with a feeling of gratitude to life through anecdotes and pauses for reflection.
Table Tennis
Oscar Roitman gives us an approach of a new way of teaching table tennis and throughout this book – which used a very didactical and clear narrative – he describes the teaching process of Table Tennis through up to day pedagogical and methodological tools. The foundation of all these tools are the author's own experiences as a table tennis player and as a coach. He has given a large number of lectures along Argentina, always showing a ludic way of teaching, not only centered on "recipes", but giving "keys" to develop the student ́s/athlete ́s own way of playing or teaching and all its variants. He also gives more than 100 activities and specific games that he has found useful along his 20 years as a coach of beginners and of high performance players. The author has a great amount of experience as a coach and as a coach of coaches. And is eager to do research about new approaches. This book was originally written in Spanish, because this topic was very poorly developed in the Spanish speaking world, however this English version will allow an even broader audience to get to know this sport through Oscar Roitman ́s views.
Encounters
This literary work is conformed by seven chapters, two maxims and a personal thought about our brief permanence on a planet in a fragile balance. Certain geographical and cultural useful hints place us in the events of these stories. They could happen in the depths of Brazil, in the ancient monasteries scattered all around the eternal and far Burma, in the gray streets of the know industrial Liverpool, or explicitly in the extensive cliffs of Puerto Madryn, Province of Chubut (Argentina). The meeting (fate?), the action (the art!) of letting go of what is no longer necessary in our lives, the flexibility before the sudden changes, trusting the new possible directions of the journey through t...
