La filósofa Fina Birulés nos recuerda que no hay mundo común sin transmisión. Así pues, ¿qué sucede con una cultura sin libros? ¿Qué les ocurre a las palabras ante un silencio impuesto?En 1948, al estallar la guerra en Palestina como fase previa al anuncio de la creacion del Estado de Israel, decenas de miles de libros de bibliotecas privadas palestinas fueron expoliados por las autoridades israelies. ¿A donde fueron a parar todos esos libros?A partir de documentos historicos, el testimonio del pensador Khalil al-Sakakini y la experiencia personal de la propia autora, Adania Shibli denuncia en este texto la represion linguistica y la desposesion del conocimiento como estrategias de opresion colonial.

2019 NAUTILUS GOLD WINNER In a time of rapid climate change and species extinction what role have the world s religions played in ameliorating or causing the crisis we now face Religion in general and Christianity in particular appears to bear a disproportionate burden for creating humankind s exploitative attitudes toward nature through unearthly theologies that divorce human beings and their spiritual yearnings from their natural origins In this regard Christianity has become an otherworldly religion that views the natural world as fallen as empty of signs of God s presence And yet buried deep within the Christian tradition are startling portrayals of God as the beaked and feathered Holy Spirit the animal God as it were of historic Christian witness Through biblical readings historical theology continental philosophy and personal stories of sacred nature this book recovers the model of God in Christianity as a creaturely avian being who signals the presence of spirit in everything human and more than human alike Mark Wallace s recovery of the bird God of the Bible signals a deep grounding of faith in the natural world The moral implications of nature based Christianity are profound All life is deserving of humans care and protection insofa

El presente trabajo realiza una primera aproximación al movimiento, de relativa nueva aparición, conocido como filosofía experimental.

Esta colección de pequeños escritos clave de Wittgenstein ofrece un desarrollo del pensamiento del autor, sus puntos de vista de interés, sus métodos de investigación filosófica, inscritos en la personalidad y caracter del autor. Incluye reflexiones sobre etica, lenguaje, logica, cultura, antropologia, estetica y matematicas.

Si acaso existe un término que pueda nombrar la catástrofe presente, tal vez sea "acontecimiento". La percepción del acontecimiento se resume en la fórmula: "¿qué pasó?". No dejamos de repetirla, absortos. ¿Que paso para que la pregunta que le da titulo a este libro, que podria parecer extemporanea, se vuelva urgente? "¿Como salvar lo comun del comunismo?" es una pregunta intencionalmente ambigua. ¿Se trata de ir al rescate de lo que pertenece o pertenecio al comunismo? ¿O de rescatar a lo comun de manos del comunismo? Y es que la evidencia historica indica que las revoluciones nacen casi con su traicion a cuestas, se joden desde el principio, y "el -ismo de comunismo, que buscaba elevar a los comunes a un poder superior y mas duradero, obstruye en cambio su vitalidad cosmopolitica y encarnada".

La paz es a la vez un estado, un valor ético y una necesidad. Todo ello le convierte en un arte: el arte de la paz. Esta actividad artística requiere artistas de muy diversas disciplinas, coordinados y convocados por la extrema urgencia de construirla para que el futuro no sea una posibilidad remota. Este libro une a academicos del mundo de la Filosofia, las Artes Escenicas, la Historia y la Estetica para ofrecer pautas de dialogo en clave personalista que la hagan posible.

Se atribuye al filósofo Séneca la famosa frase: «Para quien no sabe dónde va, ningún viento es favorable». De la misma forma, refiriéndonos al presente y su relación con el pasado podríamos decir que

Originally published in French in seven volumes Cosmopolitics investigates the role and authority of the sciences in modern societies and challenges their claims to objectivity rationality and truth Cosmopolitics II includes the first English language translations of the last four books Quantum Mechanics The End of the Dream In the Name of the Arrow of Time Prigogine s Challenge Life and Artifice The Faces of Emergence and The Curse of Tolerance Arguing for an ecology of practices in the sciences Isabelle Stengers explores the discordant landscape of knowledge derived from modern science seeking intellectual consistency among contradictory confrontational and mutually exclusive philosophical ambitions and approaches For Stengers science is a constructive enterprise a diverse interdependent and highly contingent system that does not simply discover preexisting truths but through specific practices and processes helps shape them Stengers concludes this philosophical inquiry with a forceful critique of tolerance it is a fundamentally condescending attitude she contends that prevents those worldviews that challenge dominant explanatory systems from being taken seriously Instead of tolerance she proposes a cosmopolitics that rejects politics

Civilization rests on a series of successful conversations Sam Harris Neuroscientist philosopher podcaster and bestselling author Sam Harris has been exploring some of the greatest questions concerning the human mind society and the events that shape our world Harris s search for deeper understanding of how we think has led him to engage and exchange with some of our most brilliant and controversial contemporary minds Daniel Kahneman Robert Sapolsky Anil Seth and Max Tegmark in order to unpack and clarify ideas of consciousness free will extremism and ethical living For Harris honest conversation no matter how difficult or contentious represents the only path to moral and intellectual progress Featuring eleven conversations from the hit podcast these electric exchanges fuse wisdom with rigorous interrogation to shine a light on what it means to make sense of our world today I don t have many can t miss podcasts but Making Sense is right at the top of that short list Stephen Fry Sam Harris is the most intellectually courageous man I know Richard Dawkins

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.

Opening with the statement The anthropocene is no time to set things straight Stacy Alaimo puts forth potent arguments for a material feminist posthumanism in the chapters that follow From trans species art and queer animals to naked protesting and scientific accounts of fishy humans Exposed argues for feminist posthumanism immersed in strange agencies and scale shifting ethics Including such divergent topics as landscape art ocean ecologies and plastic activism Alaimo explores our environmental predicaments to better understand feminist occupations of transcorporeal subjectivity She puts scientists activists artists writers and theorists in conversation revealing that the state of the planet in the twenty first century has radically transformed ethics politics and what it means to be human Ultimately Exposed calls for an environmental stance in which rather than operating from an externalized perspective we think feel and act as the very stuff of the world

Quien partió de viaje y, lejos del hogar, se viera agraciado con destellos de belleza, nunca regresará del todo a casa. Aunque parezca absorto en las aristas de lo cotidiano, una y otra vez se retrotrae a los lugares donde unos prodigios felices colmaron los apetitos de su sensibilidad. Una evocacion de las beldades del viajar acaso no sea mas que un intento de reflejar las emociones avivadas en la inesperada alegria de que, siquiera por un rato, la vida se asemejase a lo soñado.
