Women Philosophers on Economics, Technology, Environment, and Gender History
In times of current crisis, the voices of women are needed more than ever. The accumulation of war and environmental catastrophes teaches us that exploitation of people and nature through violent appropriation and enrichment for the sake of short-term self-interest exacts its price. This book presents contributions on the currently most relevant and most urgent issues: reshaping the economy, environmental problems, technology and the re-reading of history from the non-western and western tradition. With an outlook into the problems of class, race and gender in its intersectional framing, the collection offers a unique overview of current research in these fields and contributes to the renewal and contemporary presentation of feminist thought from partly concrete perspectives with regard to factual issues.
Ontopoietic Expansion in Human Self-Interpretation-in-Existence
The societal web of life is underpinned by one concept - that of Self and Other - which emerged earlier in this century. The concept has received a new formulation within the field of the phenomenology of life and the human creative condition, finding a foothold, a point of reference that radiates novel, seminal insights. It is nothing other than the creative fulcrum of human functioning. The self-individualisation of the human being, as revealed in the present collection, is existentially and vitally intertwined with that of the Other. Tymieniecka's seminal idea of the `trans-actional' is explored in this collection of essays, which reveals a variety of significant perspectives, weaving the cycles of the human universe of existence in an essential oscillation between the Self and the Other. In this oscillation we throw out our existential tentacles, trying to gain a living space with respect to each other, all the while engaging in a mutual creative prompting and attunement.

The Philosophy of José Gaos
This book is a critical introduction for English-speaking philosophers to the main lines of thought of José Gaos, an outstanding twentieth-century philosopher who was active first in Spain and then in Mexico. The study traces philosophical methods and cultural themes in Spain, the European continent in general, and Latin America. The author skillfully applies phenomenology to the deep questions raised by Gaos concerning being, time, language, and meaning. Peter Cocozzella has painstakingly translated this ground-breaking study from Italian. Myra Moss and Giovanni Gullace have added useful introductory material. A comprehensive bibliography is included. Values in Italian Philosophy (VIP) offers the English-speaking world outstanding works by classic and contemporary Italian thinkers as well as books on Italian philosophy.

Los Gaos. El sueño republicano
En un hotel de Vernet les Bains, en los Pirineos orientales franceses, la noche del 10 de octubre de 1939 fallece por causas poco claras José Gaos Berea, padre de los hermanos Gaos, notario y librepensador, que era, según Max Aub, «el auténtico genio de la familia». Había llegado hasta allí como refugiado político huyendo de la represión franquista. Así arranca una apasionante investigación sobre los Gaos, una familia de la burguesía ilustrada, plenamente identificada con los ideales republicanos, que padeció de forma implacable la fractura que causó la Guerra Civil en Valencia. No es corriente que en un mismo grupo familiar coincidan nueve hermanos (José, Carlos, María, Alej...
Materiales para una autobiografía filosófica
Estas páginas reúnen una serie de escritos personales, testimoniales o autobiográficos del filósofo, traductor, escritor y profesor José Gaos, uno de los pensadores de lengua española más importantes e influyentes del siglo XX; estos escritos llevan el sello inconfundible de Gaos, su modo, estilo y actitudes. El presente libro nace de la necesidad práctica de tener un conjunto de escritos suyos que contribuyen a dibujar su enérgico y rico perfil intelectual, filosófico y literario; y a la de explicar en cierto modo la fecundidad de la reflexión crítica diseminada en el orbe ecuménico de la lengua española, de la cual él mismo es en parte responsable, gracias a su misión y vocación intelectuales.
