Allan Savage deposited Secular Polity at Vatican II in the group
Philosophy on Humanities Commons 3 years, 11 months agoThis article concludes with the following observations. First, there is a demonstrable shift from monarchical government to democratic governance in the Church as a product of the evolution of ecclesial polity.

José Angel GARCÍA LANDA deposited Impresión de realidad: La percepción intelectiva en la epistemología de Zubiri in the group
Philosophy on Humanities Commons 3 years, 11 months agoSegún la epistemología de Xavier Zubiri, nuestra sensación de la realidad, la organización misma de nuestra percepción tanto del mundo externo como del mundo interno, no es “pura sensación”, sino que está mediatizada por esquemas de representación y por relaciones semióticas importadas de actos cognitivos anteriores (y así más que conocer, r…[Read more]

Albert R Haig deposited Dialectic as Ostension Towards the Transcendent: Language and Mystical Intersubjectivity in Plotinus’ Enneads in the group
Philosophy on Humanities Commons 3 years, 11 months agoThe theory of language that underlies Plotinus’ Enneads is considered in relation to his
broader metaphysical vision. For Plotinus, language is neither univocal nor equivocal,
but is something in-between, incapable of precisely describing reality, but nonetheless
not completely useless. Propositional knowledge expressed discursively r…[Read more] -

José Angel GARCÍA LANDA deposited Freud ante la Esfinge: Profecías autocumplidas, interpretaciones autointerpretables in the group
Philosophy on Humanities Commons 3 years, 11 months agoSpanish abstract: La teoría y la práctica del complejo de Edipo, y otros episodios relativos a la vida de Freud y a su relación con la figura de la esfinge, suponen un curioso caso de enigma irónico o de profecía autocumplida, que por otra parte ya está anticipado en el mito clásico de Edipo o es invitado irresistiblemente por él. Un retropo…[Read more]

Allan Savage deposited A Monograph on “Laïcité”: A Phenomenological Perspective in the group
Philosophy on Humanities Commons 3 years, 11 months agoMy intention in this brief monograph is to stimulate a re-assessment of laïcité by philosophers and theologians, particularly within the Anglophone academic world. Often the term is understood by Anglophones not quite as accurately as its French advocates intend. The translated texts are copied from the official French Government website, as i…[Read more]

Philosophy on Humanities Commons 3 years, 12 months agoSpanish abstract: La cibernética, la neurología, la semiótica y la narratología han de emprender conjuntamente el estudio interdisciplinar de la consciencia entendida como la circulación retroalimentativa compleja entre distintos sistemas y circuitos cerebrales—así como entre distintas modalidades de representación en el cerebro. Se entender…[Read more]

Eileen A. Fradenburg Joy deposited Improbable Modes of Being in the group
Philosophy on Humanities Commons 4 years agoThis mini-essay was published as part of a “dossier” of authors discussing various forms of “queer inhumanisms.” In my piece, I address the relations between queer studies and post/humanist studies through the lens of Michel Foucault’s 1981 interview, “Friendship as a Way of Life.” These relations are tied together in critique but also in various…[Read more]

Aquí señalamos más en concreto el precedente de Hegel. ______…[Read more]

José Angel GARCÍA LANDA deposited Viendo el mundo con la mente in the group
Philosophy on Humanities Commons 4 years agoSpanish abstract: El inmaterialismo del siglo XVIII nos enseñó que el mundo que habitamos no es de naturaleza física sino básicamente informacional o semiótica. Yendo más allá del constructivismo psicológico y de la fenomenología, nos sugieren Berkeley y otros que el mundo es una construcción mental—que habitamos, sin sospecharlo, en una realida…[Read more]
