Controverias del pensamiento. Homenaje al profesor Quintín Racionero
«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...

Derrida - Heidegger. Confluencias y divergencias
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 Philosophy of Tai Chi Chuan
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...
Linear Algebra and Geometry
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.

A series of interviews with the Chilean author.
Mathematics in Ancient Iraq
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...
The Mathematics of Plato's Academy
This book presents a reinterpretation of early Greek mathematics, one of the most tantalizing intellectual subjects of the last 2,000 years. The first part offers several new interpretations of the idea of ratio in early Greek mathematics and illustrates them in detailed discussion of several texts. Part Two discusses the historical context of the subject--what we know of Plato's academy during his lifetime, the origin of our text of Euclid's Elements, and what we know of early Greek numerical practice. The book finishes with an account of the theory of continued fractions and its history since the 17th century.
Body Memory, Metaphor and Movement
Body Memory, Metaphor and Movement is an interdisciplinary volume with contributions from philosophers, cognitive scientists, and movement therapists. Part one provides the phenomenologically grounded definition of body memory with its different typologies. Part two follows the aim to integrate phenomenology, conceptual metaphor theory, and embodiment approaches from the cognitive sciences for the development of appropriate empirical methods to address body memory. Part three inquires into the forms and effects of therapeutic work with body memory, based on the integration of theory, empirical findings, and clinical applications. It focuses on trauma treatment and the healing power of movement. The book also contributes to metaphor theory, application and research, and therefore addresses metaphor researchers and linguists interested in the embodied grounds of metaphor. Thus, it is of particular interest for researchers from the cognitive sciences, social sciences, and humanities as well as clinical practitioners.
Buddhism For Dummies
From the outside, Buddhism seems like a bundle of contradictions wrapped inside a paradox. It is a religion without a god, a belief system without rules, and a faith that encourages its adherents to question everything, including its own teachings. You could spend a lifetime studying Buddhist texts and following its observances and still feel like you’ve only just barely scratched the surface. Yet, over the past 2500 years, this lovely religion that preaches compassion, generosity, tolerance, selflessness and self-awareness has commanded the fervent devotion of hundreds of millions of people around the world who believe it to be the true path to enlightenment. If you’re curious about Bud...
