La idea de escribir poemas sobre la historia de la Filosofía me la sugirió mi amigo Antonio Llorente; y la de hacer canciones es de Jimmy (Juan Carlos López Encinas), compositor, guitarrista, cantante y tambien amigo. La intencion es aludir a algunas de las ideas mas importantes de los autores que vienen entrando en el temario de selectividad y hacerlo de manera que las estrofas poeticas vayan acompañando a lo que representa cada uno de ellos. Con el resultado elaboramos un concierto didactico en el que hacemos una breve presentacion de cada tema para que Jimmy y Laurent Lavigne los interpreten. Gracias a la Fundacion Salamanca Ciudad de Saberes y a la seccion de Filosofia del Master Universitario de Profesores de Secundaria hemos podido, primero, representarlo en la Universidad de Salamanca y, como prueba este documento, verlo imprimido. La Universidad de Salamanca nos ha permitido incorporar algunas grabaciones acompañando el libro de textos sobre los que los alumnos han de examinarse en la EBAU. Aqui pueden leerse las letras y algunos comentarios que sirven para aclarar dudas y animar a leer, tanto poesia como filosofia.

The relationship between science and religion has long been a heated debate and is becoming an ever more popular topic The scientific capacity to manipulate and change humans and their environment through genetic engineering life extension and AI is going to take a huge leap forward in the twenty first century provoking endless debates around humans playing God But what do we mean by this Asking this question is surprisingly hard work Attempts to essentialise science let alone religion quickly run into trouble Where are the boundaries Whose definition of science is definitive Which concept of religious is the authoritative one Ultimately neither science nor religion can be pinned down to one single meaning or definition Rather they encompass a family of definitions that relate to one another in a complex web of shifting ways Drawing on extensive research with over a hundred leading thinkers in the UK including Martin Rees Brian Cox Susan Greenfield A C Grayling Ray Tallis Linda Woodhead Steve Bruce Adam Rutherford Robin Dunbar Francesca Stavrakopoulou and Iain McGilchrist The Landscapes of Science and Religion takes the much needed step of asking what science and religion actually are before turning to the familiar question of

In this marvelously accessible book philosopher Christian Jim Stump provides the reader with new eyes for a journey through time the origin of the soul suffering and morality and reveals how the latest scientific findings about what it means to be human have led him to a deeper and more authentic faith Francis S Collins Director of the Human Genome Project and Founder of BioLogos author of The Language of God A thought provoking and eye opening work by Jim Stump Vice President at BioLogos and host of the Language of God podcast offering a compelling argument about how evolution does not have to be at odds with faith but can actually enrich and deepen it In this moving and deeply thoughtful book Jim Stump takes readers with him on his journey to understanding evolution and reconciling it with his faith The Sacred Chain draws on philosophy theology and the latest scientific research to tackle some of the biggest questions facing humanity and people of faith today such as How can we hold the Bible as a sacred text and yet reconcile modern science with it By condensing noteworthy events in the history of our universe into one calendar week what can we learn about God s creative process and priorities and where humans fit in If humans are created in

Science is remarkably reliable It puts people on the moon performs laser eye surgery tells us about ancient civilizations and species and predicts the future of our climate What underwrites this reliability This book argues that the standard answers the scientific method rigour and objectivity are insufficient for the job Here we propose a new model of science which places its products front and centre In The Tangle of Science we show how any reliable piece of science is underpinned by a vast diverse and thick network of other scientific products In doing so we bring back into focus areas of science that have been long neglected emphasizing how every product from the screws that hold the space shuttle together to ways of measuring the consumer price index to Einstein s theory of general relativity work together to support results we can trust

Prosigue la heptalogía Las siete bestias, del filósofo jiennense Emilio López Medina, con este libro dedicado a una de las experiencias que mayor pavor y rechazo generan en el indi-viduo sano y equilibrado: la del dolor. Frente a quienes consideran que sufrir es un hecho que hay que evitar, en cuanto contrario a la naturaleza humana, el autor defiende que, por el contrario, el dolor nos informa de manera mas fehaciente acerca de nuestro verdadera condicion, en la medida en que todos sufrimos y rehuimos por igual las fuentes del dolor.
