Con la publicación de este volumen, titulado Estética: miradas contemporáneas 2. Teoría, praxis, sociedad, la Universidad de Bogotá Jorge Tadeo Lozano da continuidad a un proceso iniciado hace varios años, durante el cual se ha ido construyendo un ámbito de estudio sobre los fundamentos filosóficos, sociológicos y antropológicos que sustentan esa plural forma de construcción humana que se ha dado en llamar hecho artístico. El texto compila una serie de ensayos académicos cuyas temáticas examinan, desde varias perspectivas teóricas y disciplinares, diversos tópicos relacionados con la naturaleza de los fenómenos artísticos, la imagen y la arquitectura. Es el resultado de la reflexión y el debate que, alrededor de temas relacionados con las teorías estéticas, se han llevado a cabo en el ámbito de algunos de los grupos de estudio conformados por profesores del Departamento de Humanidades.

Inflammation of the colon is collectively called "Colitis". Since a variety of conditions may cause colitis and its manifestations are similar among the causes, selection of the right treatment based on the correct diagnosis is important in the management of this group of illnesses. Over the last few decades, a major shift has been observed in the clinical attention to the pathogenesis of colitis from infectious to idiopathic inflammatory bowel diseases. Colitis cases that are associated with chemical therapeutics and specific pathogens such as amoeba, have become prominent in hospitalized individuals and immune deficient patients, respectively.
