Arte, ciencia y belleza en el Renacimiento.
[...] Como tiempo, el Renacimiento va desde (las bisagras) Dante Alighieri y Giotto di Bondone hasta el siglo xviii, aunque esto, todavía, es motivo de discusión. El va y el hasta, además, se aplica al espacio geográfico donde tuvo lugar y en donde produjo sus frutos: Italia, Alemania, España, Francia, Inglaterra, Bélgica, Suiza, Holanda, Polonia, Rusia, y de algunos de estos, mezclado con el Gótico, por poner un ejemplo de mezcla, a otros espacios del globo. Y lo renacentista... ¿En qué consiste dicho carácter del espíritu humano al que podemos llamar renacentista?, ¿en qué consiste ser renacentista? Sería una petulancia dar una definición terminada en un texto tan breve como...
Estudios de Estética en Filosofía y Literatura de la baja Edad Media: los casos de Buenaventura de Bagnoregio y Dante Alighieri
Unos más cerca del artículo científico, otros en el ámbito del ensayo literario, incluso del ensayo filosófico-literario, los seis trabajos que componen este libro expresan reflexiones sobre las contribuciones que hacen a la estética el filósofo y teólogo Buenaventura de Bagnoregio y el poeta y filósofo Dante Alighieri, o exponen investigaciones acerca de sus obras desde un punto de vista estético y de filosofía del arte. Ambas intenciones están construidas sobre el suelo firme de la lectura, la comprensión y el comentario filosóficos, sobre todo para el caso de Buenaventura, y sobre la base firme de la literatura comparada, para el caso de Dante Alighieri. El Dante, 700 años ...
Logos y Filosofía
Miguel García-Baró ha identificado en el desarrollo de la Filosofía tres navegaciones generales, y el sentido que le da a la expresión navegación filosófica es muy semejante al significado de las salidas del Quijote. La primera navegación es como la primera salida de don Quijote a las aventuras: sin escudero, sin dinero, sin haberse armado caballero, o sea, sin prevención alguna. En 99d del Fedón, Platón dice por boca de Sócrates que los pensadores habían navegado la primera vez como si pudieran tratar las cosas directamente, como si pudieran conducirse entre y con las cosas directamente, a fin de conocerlas. Pero esta confianza excesiva no resultó en conocerlas, sino en una cri...
Adaptation in Natural and Artificial Systems
Genetic algorithms are playing an increasingly important role in studies of complex adaptive systems, ranging from adaptive agents in economic theory to the use of machine learning techniques in the design of complex devices such as aircraft turbines and integrated circuits. Adaptation in Natural and Artificial Systems is the book that initiated this field of study, presenting the theoretical foundations and exploring applications. In its most familiar form, adaptation is a biological process, whereby organisms evolve by rearranging genetic material to survive in environments confronting them. In this now classic work, Holland presents a mathematical model that allows for the nonlinearity of...

Comics Beyond the Page in Latin America
Comics Beyond the Page in Latin America is a cutting-edge study of the expanding worlds of Latin American comics. Despite lack of funding and institutional support, not since the mid-twentieth century have comics in the region been so dynamic, so diverse and so engaged with pressing social and cultural issues. Comics are being used as essential tools in debates about, for example, digital cultures, gender identities and political disenfranchisement.
