The A to Z of Kierkegaard's Philosophy provides a contextual introduction to Kierkegaard's 19th century world of Copenhagen, a chronology of events and key figures in his life, as well as definitions of the key systems of his thought-theology, existentialism, literature, and psychology. The extensive bibliographical section covers secondary literature and electronic materials of help to researchers. The appendix includes detailed information on his writings, along with a list of his pseudonyms. This book is useful not only as a guide for experienced scholars, but also as an introduction to new students of Kierkegaard's Philosophy.
Providing book reviews of some of the leading monographic studies in the Kierkegaard secondary literature, this volume aims to assist the community of scholars in becoming familiar with the works that they have not read for themselves, thus offering them a comprehensive survey of works that have played a more or less significant role in the research. In addition it tries to make accessible many works in the Kierkegaard secondary literature that are written in different languages. The six tomes of the present volume present reviews of works written in Catalan, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, Galician, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, and Swedish.
Desde la promulgación, en 1879, de la encíclica Aeterni Patris, la filosofía cristiana, en especial la tomista, volvió a ocupar e puesto que por derecho le pertenecía dentro del pensamiento español y mundial. La síntesis que aquí presentamos va más allá de una mera historia del tomismo y se convierte en un punto de referencia obligado para quien desee conocer y vivir una alternativa al pensamiento homologado impuesto en la actualidad por quienes detestan el poder, sea éste político, económico o cultural.
This volume, which follows hard on the heels of publication of the final volume of the 26-volume set of Kierkegaard's writings (Princeton, 1980-2000), allows its readers 'to find their way quickly to relevant sources of help,' elucidates Kierkegaard's 'central concepts,' and demonstrates the contemporary relevance of his ideas (he is 'important because of his emphasis on human subjectivity').

Esta obra se enmarca en el ámbito de la Filosofía de la Educación y es de suma utilidad tanto para los universitarios que cursan estudios relacionados con la educación, como para los profesionales en ejercicio, pues los temas que se abordan son de permanente actualidad. En este libro se analiza el fenómeno educativo y se estudian las características de la perspectiva filosófica y de la Filosofía de la Educación como "aproximación filosófica al conocimiento de la educación" y como "disciplina académica". Se analizan las relaciones de este campo con otros saberes pedagógicos. A lo largo de sus páginas se estudia a los protagonistas de la educación, las relaciones que se establecen entre los agentes educativos y la naturaleza de las mismas, y las dificultades inherentes al reto de educar en sociedades democráticas y en "contextos des-educativos", como sucede en la actualidad. Se ofrece también un breve apunte de la Filosofía de la Educación desde la perspectiva histórica, así como las principales Sociedades, Congresos y Revistas científicas del área.
As Kierkegaard's reputation grew, he was co-opted by a number of different philosophical and religious movements in different contexts throughout the world. This volume features the three tomes that attempt to record the history of this reception according to national and linguistic categories.
Fashion has become a fertile field of study for academics across disciplines, now that the rules, once tightly fixed, have been deconstructed. This volume brings together academics from various disciplines - philosophy, sociology, medicine, anthropology, psychology and psychiatry - to examine fashion's complex relationship with post-industrial societies. Herein the authors address, from the standpoint of their respective disciplines, what crucial functions fashion fulfils in the modern world, especially as it relates to the construction and deconstruction of the self. This volume is the result of a conference held by the Social Trends Institute at which the authors presented original papers. The Social Trends Institute is a non-profit research centre that offers institutional and financial support to academics in all fields who research and explore emerging social trends and their effects on human communities. The Institute focuses its research on four main subject areas: family, bioethics, culture and lifestyles, and corporate governance.
Although Kierkegaard's reception was initially more or less limited to Scandinavia, it has for a long time now been a highly international affair. As his writings became translated into the different languages, his reputation spread, and he became read more and more by people increasingly distant from his native Denmark. While in Scandinavia, the attack on the Church in the last years of his life became something of a cause célèbre, later many different aspects of his work became the object of serious scholarly investigation well beyond the original northern borders. As his reputation grew, he was co-opted by a number of different philosophical and religious movements in different contexts...
