This book looks back in order to look forward. It is a sustained reflection on the great disillusion Europe experienced after World War I. Europeans understood that bombs had buried the Enlightenment. They knew that, to avoid catastrophe, they had to think anew. The catastrophe came, but Cohen, Benjamin, Kafka, and Rosenzweig had sounded the warning.
With this volume, Werner Pluhar completes his work on Kant's three Critiques, an accomplishment unique among English language translators of Kant. At once accurate, fluent, and accessible, Pluhar's rendition of the Critique of Practical Reason meets the standards set in his widely respected translations of the Critique of Judgement (1987) and the Critique of Pure Reason (1996).
Con motivo del bicentenario de la publicación de la Metafísica de las Costumbres de I. Kant, se reunieron en Ciudad Real veintitrés profesores de distintas Universidades españolas y del Instituto de Filosofía, para reflexionar sobre las relaciones entre Moral, Derecho y Política a partir de la filosofía práctica Kantiana. El lema del Congreso: La honradez vale más que toda política, tomado del propio Kant, apunta al corazón de esta problemática, en la medida en que afirma la superioridad de las reglas de la moralidad sobre las reglas de la habilidad y de la prudencia, que maneja el político. Si la adhesión kantiana a la máxima: Fiat iustitia, pereat mundus, no ha dejado de suscitar controversias; por el contrario, su conclusión: si perece la justicia, carece ya de valor que vivan hombres sobre la tierra, no parece estar sujeta a controversia alguna. Ahora bien, ¿Se puede conceder lo segundo si se rechaza lo primero?
Dialogical reason requires dialogue among the members of a community. Thinkers like Habermas and Apel have proposed that judgments of both fact and value become objects of public debate. The debate should determine whether these judgments can earn the assent of the community. If so, they attain a degree of intersubjective validity. Javier Muguerza’s Ethics and Perplexity makes a highly original contribution to the debate over dialogical reason. The work opens with a letter that establishes a parallel between Ethics and Perplexity and Maimonides’s classic Guide of the Perplexed. It concludes with an interview that repeatedly strikes sparks on Spanish philosophy’s emergence from its “l...
This 2007 volume contains all of Kant's major writings on human nature.
This book joins the contemporary recovery of Kant’s empirical works to highlight the relevance of his concept of culture for understanding the sources of various characteristic modern dilemmas, such as the tension between culture and happiness, the morally ambivalent nature of cultural progress, or the existing conflicts between a factual plurality of cultures and the historical forces pressing toward a universal civilization. The book will be of special interest for Kantian scholars, moral and political philosophers, as well as philosophers of culture.
Esta obra, inédita en castellano hasta su publicación en Crítica, está compuesta por los apuntes dictados por Kant en sus clases universitarias entre 1775 y 1781. Relegados durante mucho tiempo al olvido nos proporcionan, sin embargo, las claves para el estudio de la Crítica de la razón práctica y de la Metafísica de las costumbres.
This volume seeks to disentangle the limits and possibilities of the tradition of civil disobedience: in what circumstances is it right, or perhaps necessary, to say "no"? The jurisprudential and philosophical literature discussed here is truly enormous and provides a complex and reliable overview of the main problems.
Il centro di questo libro è fuori del libro, in altri libri: nell’opera di Vincenzo Vitiello, con la quale gli autori dei saggi qui raccolti si sono nel tempo confrontati. Per gli ottant’anni del filosofo, hanno accolto volentieri l’idea di proseguire per un altro tratto un colloquio, che riprende autori e domande fondamentali del pensiero occidentale – da Platone a Aristotele, da Kant a Hegel, da Nietzsche a Heidegger a molti altri –, in una pluralità di prospettive e di proposte che dimostra la fecondità del dialogo tenuto nel corso di questi anni da alcune delle maggiori voci della filosofia contemporanea. In filosofia non esistono tradizioni che non vengano sempre nuovamente...
