«Cuando Quintín Racionero concibió su proyecto de investigación, “El papel de las controversias en la producción de las prácticas teóricas y en el fortalecimiento de la sociedad civil”, el panorama económico, social y político de algunos países de nuestro entorno no parecía tan desolador como ahora, aunque ya se auguraba un futuro problemático e inquietante. Tan solo han transcurrido unos pocos años y observamos con espanto cómo los estados se descomponen, abrumados por conflictos que castigan a los sectores de la población más indefensos y vulnerables, haciendo prevalecer ideologías autoritarias e intransigentes, eliminando cualquier atisbo de tolerancia y respeto hacia...

Este libro colectivo, resultado de un proyecto de investigación I+D+i, aborda desde diferentes perspectivas y problemáticas el lugar y el papel privilegiados e irrenunciables que el pensamiento de Heidegger ocupa y desempeña dentro del trabajo filosófico de Derrida. Un trabajo que, por lo demás, responde tanto a la capacidad crítica e innovadora de las teorizaciones más filosóficas de este pensador y de sus reflexiones acerca del legado filosófico y cultural de Occidente (teorizaciones y consideraciones siempre abiertas a las aportaciones de otras disciplinas más o menos ajenas a la filosofía) como a sus pertinentes consideraciones prioritariamente comprometidas con los temas y pr...
The International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) is held every four years. It is a major scientific event, bringing together mathematicians from all over the world and demonstrating the vital role that mathematics play in our society. In particular, the Fields Medals are awarded to recognize outstanding mathematical achievement. At the same time, the International Mathematical Union awards the Nevanlinna Prize for work in the field of theoretical computer science. The proceedings of ICM 2006, published as a three-volume set, present an overview of current research in all areas of mathematics and provide a permanent record the congress. The first volume features the works of Fields Medallists and the Nevanlinna Prize winner, the plenary lectures, and the speeches and pictures of the opening and closing ceremonies and award sessions. The other two volumes present the invited lectures, arranged according to their mathematical subject.
This advanced textbook on linear algebra and geometry covers a wide range of classical and modern topics. Differing from existing textbooks in approach, the work illustrates the many-sided applications and connections of linear algebra with functional analysis, quantum mechanics and algebraic and differential geometry. The subjects covered in some detail include normed linear spaces, functions of linear operators, the basic structures of quantum mechanics and an introduction to linear programming. Also discussed are Kahler's metic, the theory of Hilbert polynomials, and projective and affine geometries. Unusual in its extensive use of applications in physics to clarify each topic, this comprehensice volume should be of particular interest to advanced undergraduates and graduates in mathematics and physics, and to lecturers in linear and multilinear algebra, linear programming and quantum mechanics.
Kayla removed Spanish billionaire Duardo Alvarez's wedding ring after just seventy-two hours of marriage. But now desperate circumstances have forced Kayla to beg her ex-husband for help. Duardo's price is high: marry him again, or he'll walk away.
The essence of Tai Chi Chuan lies in the rich philosophy of ancient China. While most Tai Chi practitioners are aware of the value that studying Chinese philosophy can bring to their practice, it is often difficult to pick out those texts that are most relevant to Tai Chi and connected to its development. The Philosophy of Tai Chi Chuan presents, for the first time, a concise overview of the Chinese martial and spiritual philosophies that drive this ancient tradition.Authors Freya and Martin Boedicker, who teach Tai Chi throughout Europe and South Africa, present freshly translated excerpts from such popular and widely studied works as the Tao Te Ching, the I Ching, and The Art of War, as we...
"What Is Life?" is Nobel laureate Erwin Schrödinger's exploration of the question which lies at the heart of biology. His essay, "Mind and Matter," investigates what place consciousness occupies in the evolution of life, and what part the state of development of the human mind plays in moral questions. "Autobiographical Sketches" offers a fascinating fragmentary account of his life as a background to his scientific writings.
A series of interviews with the Chilean author.
This monumental book traces the origins and development of mathematics in the ancient Middle East, from its earliest beginnings in the fourth millennium BCE to the end of indigenous intellectual culture in the second century BCE when cuneiform writing was gradually abandoned. Eleanor Robson offers a history like no other, examining ancient mathematics within its broader social, political, economic, and religious contexts, and showing that mathematics was not just an abstract discipline for elites but a key component in ordering society and understanding the world. The region of modern-day Iraq is uniquely rich in evidence for ancient mathematics because its prehistoric inhabitants wrote on c...
