Universidad hoy
En este libro la Universidad no solo está allí como posibilidad, como plataforma. Ahora es ella el objeto del examen. Es ella que se piensa a sí misma. ¿Qué motiva a examinar la Universidad hoy? ¿Qué nos hace preguntarnos en el presente por su sentido, idea, naturaleza, estructuras, asuntos y devenir? Actualmente, estas instituciones educativas atraviesan una crisis, y algunos hechos permiten evidenciar este fenómeno: las tentativas de reducir el espacio de las humanidades y las ciencias sociales, las presiones impuestas por el afán de producción y el capitalismo cognitivo, la excesiva burocratización y medición, el afán de modernización, la deslegitimación del saber y la sospecha sobre la titulación, o las dificultades de la financiación, entre otros.
Filosofía de la educación:
La individuación ha sido problematizada desde la tradición clásica como tode ti en Aristóteles, individuum en los medievales, individuo e individuación en filósofos modernos como Spinoza y Leibniz, y, contemporáneamente, forma parte de la controversia en disciplinas tales como la filosofía (Husserl, Heidegger, Simondon), la psicología (Mead, Simondon, Jung, Mahler, Fromm) y la tecnología (Simondon, Stiegler, Latour, Coyne). El problema de la formación, visto desde el marco de referencia de la individuación, reclama no solo la historicidad, sino también la biografía (etaneidad, como la indicó Xavier Zubiri), la singularidad de cada uno, dentro de un entorno común. Esta obra busca caracterizar la individuación como categoría desde la cual se pueden articular no solo los procesos de formación, sino también el estudio de fenómenos psicosociales que convocan a diferentes disciplinas. De ahí que este volumen presente lectores de Boecio, Spinoza, Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau- Ponty, Foucault, Simondon, Lacan, entre otros.
On Order
A fresh, new translation of Augustine's third work as a Christian convert The first four works written by St. Augustine of Hippo after his conversion to Christianity are dialogues that have influenced prominent thinkers from Boethius to Bernard Lonergan. Usually called the "Cassiciacum dialogues," these four works are of a high literary and intellectual quality, combining Ciceronian and neo-Platonic philosophy, Roman comedy and Vergilian poetry, and early Christian theology. They are also, arguably, Augustine's most charming works, exhibiting his whimsical levity and ironic wryness. On Order is the third work in this tetralogy, and it is Augustine's only work explicitly devoted to theodicy, the reconciliation of Almighty God's goodness with evil's existence. In this dialogue, Augustine argues that a certain kind of self-knowledge is the key to unlocking the answers to theodicy's vexing questions, and he devotes the latter half of the dialogue to an excursus on the liberal arts as disciplines that will help strengthen the mind to know itself and God.
Porphyry in Fragments
The Greek philosopher Porphyry of Tyre had a reputation as the fiercest critic of Christianity. It was well-deserved: he composed (at the end the 3rd century A.D.) fifteen discourses against the Christians, so offensive that Christian emperors ordered them to be burnt. We thus rely on the testimonies of three prominent Christian writers to know what Porphyry wrote. Scholars have long thought that we could rely on those testimonies to know Porphyry's ideas. Exploring early religious debates which still resonate today, Porphyry in Fragments argues instead that Porphyry's actual thoughts became mixed with the thoughts of the Christians who preserved his ideas, as well as those of other Christian opponents.
