Pensar, Vivir y Hacer la Educación: Visiones Compartidas Vol. 4
Pensar, vivir y hacer la educación constituye un desafío para todos los educadores, pues la gran mayoría no realiza de forma reflexiva estas tres dimensiones de su ejercicio profesional, sino que se limita a reaccionar ante las exigencias de su entorno laboral. En general, gran parte de los docentes no se detiene a reflexionar sobre los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje que desarrolla en el aula; tampoco se concentra a degustar acerca de la amplia gama de experiencias o vivencias que suceden en el aula; menos a diseñar métodos, técnicas y estrategias que respondan a su contexto educativo.
PENSAR, VIVIR Y HACER LA EDUCACIÓN: VISIONES COMPARTIDAS VOL. 3
Pensar, Vivir y Hacer la educación: visiones compartidas Vol. 3 se cuestiona sobre la fundamentación epistemológica de las Ciencias de la Educación. ¿Es posible hablar de las "ciencias" de la educación? Los capítulos de las tres secciones ofrecen elementos teóricos, metodológicos y prácticos que parecen responder afirmativamente al problema planteado.
Educación y ciencia en Ecuador 1830 - 1940. Entre la modernidad y la Colonialidad
El futuro y el presente obligan al país a enfrentar y discutir un viejo problema: ¿Cómo construir un nuevo modelo de desarrollo? Sin embargo, para ello hay que remitirse al pasado. Ciertamente cargamos sobre nuestras espaldas por más de dos siglos una herencia colonial, el esquema extractivista primario exportador, que por varias ocasiones hemos querido superarlo, pero no hemos podido. Ha supervivido bajo diversas formas desde la segunda parte del siglo XVIII generando ciclos continuados de auge y crisis, y a la larga estancamiento: primer boom cacaotero 1785-1825; segundo boom cacaotero 1875- 1920; boom bananero 1950-1970; primer boom petrolero 1970-1980; y segundo boom petrolero 2008-2...
Medieval Philosophy and the Transcendentals
Students of Thomas Aquinas have so far lacked a comprehensive study of his doctrine of the transcendentals. This volume fills this lacuna, showing the fundamental character of the notions of being, one, true and good for his thought. The book inquires into the beginnings of the doctrine in the thirteenth century and explains the relation of the transcendental way of thought to Aquinas's conception of metaphysics. It analyzes "Being," "One," "True," "Good" and "Beautiful" individually and discusses their importance for the philosophical knowledge of God. Medieval Philosophy and the Transcendentals: The Case of Thomas Aquinas is intended as a contribution to the question "What is philosophy in the Middle Ages?". It argues that the doctrine of the transcendentals is essential for understanding medieval philosophy.
Ockham's Theory of Terms
William of Ockham, the most prestigious philosopher of the fourteenth century, was a late Scholastic thinker who is regarded as the founder of Nominalism, the school of thought that denies that universals have any reality apart from the individual things signified by the universal or general term. Ockham's Summa Logicae was intended as a basic text in philosophy, but it's originality and scope encompass his whole system of philosophy. Yet the paucity of English translations and the structural complexity of the Latin have made the Summa, until now, almost completely inaccessible. Here Michael Loux has translated the first part of the Summa, one of the most original and influential medieval texts in logic. Preceding the translation are two essys: The first focuses on Ockham's ontology; the second deals with his theory of supposition. They are meant to introduce the reader to the central themes of Part I of the Summa, but, while introductory, these essays incorporate a controversial interpretation of Ockham which is intended to suggest a continuity between his philosophy and the work of contemporary analytic philosophy.

Ethics without Ontology
In this brief book one of the most distinguished living American philosophers takes up the question of whether ethical judgments can properly be considered objective—a question that has vexed philosophers over the past century. Looking at the efforts of philosophers from the Enlightenment through the twentieth century, Hilary Putnam traces the ways in which ethical problems arise in a historical context. Putnam’s central concern is ontology—indeed, the very idea of ontology as the division of philosophy concerned with what (ultimately) exists. Reviewing what he deems the disastrous consequences of ontology’s influence on analytic philosophy—in particular, the contortions it imposes upon debates about the objective of ethical judgments—Putnam proposes abandoning the very idea of ontology. He argues persuasively that the attempt to provide an ontological explanation of the objectivity of either mathematics or ethics is, in fact, an attempt to provide justifications that are extraneous to mathematics and ethics—and is thus deeply misguided.

The Macroeconomics of Populism in Latin America
Again and again, Latin America has seen the populist scenario played to an unfortunate end. Upon gaining power, populist governments attempt to revive the economy through massive spending. After an initial recovery, inflation reemerges and the government responds with wage an price controls. Shortages, overvaluation, burgeoning deficits, and capital flight soon precipitate economic crisis, with a subsequent collapse of the populist regime. The lessons of this experience are especially valuable for countries in Eastern Europe, as they face major political and economic decisions. Economists and political scientists from the United States and Latin America detail in this volume how and why such...
