Hoy, como a finales del siglo XIX, la idea de los Estados Unidos de Europa se vuelve una exigencia política para preservar el precario...

Many scholars agree that we are currently living in post-ideological times, and that the role of religion and social ideology has become increasingly limited as a means to organise society. Some even talk of a 'post-truth' era, as truth itself has become suspect, and public debate has become infected with terms such as 'fake news' and 'alternative truths.' In fact, in many scientific areas the notions of truth, objectivity and fact are being questioned,...

La prédation dérive de l'esprit de mal. Elle est la résultante
de toutes les pensées et de toutes les institutions négatives. Elle se
manifeste par l'impérialisme, l'esclavagisme et le colonialisme.
C'est la source principale de la vie et de la prospérité occidentales
et orientales. C'est le substratum commun aux peuples occidentaux
et orientaux.

Una de las problemáticas fundamentales que recorre los escritos de Hannah Arendt desde sus primeras formulaciones en torno de la comprensión, su profundización de estos motivos en relación con la narración y sus desarrollos sobre el juicio es el desmantelamiento de la oposición tradicional entre la vida del filósofo y la vida política o, en otras palabras, entre el espectador y el actor.
A partir de la reapropiación que Arendt realiza de...

Para ello se apoya en el concepto foucaultiano de Biopoder, que permite pensar la escuela como un mecanismo viviente, organizado mediante técnicas Anatomopolíticas y Biopolíticas.
La Anatomopolítica...

La filosofía nació como proyecto educativo de la humanidad, en busca de generar el máximo desarrollo del potencial humano. Esto implica educar para la escuela, pero también para la vida. Enseñar a pensar y a valorar, promover que las personas puedan elaborar juicios sobre sí mismas y los acontecimientos y, más aún, como decía Cicerón, que lleguen a ser médicas de sí mismas. Entonces, esta actividad no sólo es educativa, sino que lo es...

Mientras los intérpretes de hoy debaten sobre el estatuto y la asociación de Francisco Suárez con la filosofía moderna, los lectores de René Descartes mantienen la descripción que lo define como the founder of modern philosophy. El presente análisis propone destacar factores principales que, posiblemente, acerquen y también distingan lo que hace moderna la modernidad de ambos filósofos. Cuestión que desarrollaré contemplando no la obra...

It invented individual rights, it founded our way of thinking, it created science in the third century B.C. in Alexandria, it invented democracy.
From what characteristics does all this power, the fragile philosophy, derive? These ancestors of ours, the classical philosophers, had postulated three things, then forgotten.
a) The word is not the...
