War and Language - Russian Invasion of Ukraine in National Political Discourses
This book focuses on the war in Ukraine and how politicians commented on this issue in the first months after the invasion. The reactions of heads of state to the Russian invasion of Ukraine have varied, even in the democratic world. While an overwhelming rejectionist view was expressed in Western Europe, politicians in some Central and Eastern European have demonstrated a difficulty seeing the Kremlin as the culprit for the war. The main aims of the book are to examine how politicians in selected countries reacted to the war, to identify the main actors of the political discourse and how the political elites formed their positions, to analyze the content of the discourse and how the various...
The Spanish Frustration
Old troubles with remote origins persist in modern Spain, including huge public debts, extensive corruption, widespread unlawfulness, oligarchical politics, territorial splits, and permanent protests and riots. When did Spain screw up? The Spanish Frustration provides an interpretation of several important aspects of present-day Spain and its past stories. It argues that, in the long term, Spain missed the opportunity to become a consolidated modern nation-state because it was entangled in imperial adventures for several centuries when it should have been building a solid domestic basis for further endeavors. In short: a ruinous empire made a weak state, which built an incomplete nation, which sustains a minority democracy.
Voyage: Spirit of the Annako
In the shadow of a rugged mountain range in the Philippines, lies San Ysidro, a rice farming community of tradition-bound residents determined to maintain their way of life that includes telling folklore tales around the campfire. More than two decades after a violent crime transforms San Ysidro forever, events begin to unfold as an ancient ritual, the Annako, demands revenge for the victims' souls. As the spirits stir, a mother, her daughter, and a newspaper reporter are drawn into the dark past and into a world where the line between reality and the supernatural is blurred. As all three are led on circuitous paths of mystery made worse by violent threats and political scandals, now only time will tell whether they will find answers and peace for the victims' souls. Voyage: Spirit of the Annako shares a mysterious tale about a horrific crime in a rural Filipino community and a vengeful ancient ritual with the power to reveal the truth.

In(ter)dependencia
Está muy bien definir la dignidad formalmente, como hace Kant cuando afirma que las personas tienen dignidad y no precio, puesto que poseen un valor absoluto al ser fines en sí mismos (cf. Fundamentación, Ak. IV 434-435), pero es evidente que tal definición resulta insuficiente y que la dignidad requiere ciertas condiciones para merecer ese nombre, un mínimo bienestar material que sirva de dique a la menesterosidad y al sufrimiento. Ésa es la razón de que los trabajos reunidos aquí aborden cuestiones tales como la eutanasia, el impacto de las nuevas tecnologías en la salud, la reflexión bioética, el significativo incremento de la longevidad, las claves del Estado de bienestar en E...
