SOBRE LA PREHISTORIA DE LA METAFÍSICA

Heredero e intérprete de Heidegger, Gadamer nos descifra el pensamiento de su maestro como pasado con el que ha de enfrentarse y a partir del que es preciso pensar. Nos ayuda a responder sobre todo dos cuestiones fundamentales para la historia de la filosofía: ¿por qué reparó Heidegger primero en los problemas de la metafísica?, y ¿por qué se sumergió en la metafísica de Aristóteles e intentó traer de nuevo a la reflexión la primera cuestión de la metafísica, la pregunta por el ser, como primera preocupación de todo pensar, en un siglo en el que ya había quedado relegada a residuo histórico?

POR NADA DEL MUNDO

«Antes de conocerle y de entablar una relación con él que se convirtió pronto en un amour fou y después en una amistad íntima (lo que para él significaba “complicidad”), recelé, entusiasmada, de sus aforismos. Él mismo invita a ello, cuando afirma (¿de sí mismo?): “Recela de aquellos que dan la espalda al amor, a la ambición, a la sociedad. Se vengarán por haber renunciado a ello. La historia de las ideas es la historia de los rencores del solitario”. Pues, aunque ha evitado concebir ideas (o precisamente por ello) en el sentido de un sistema, sembraría, en lo fundamental, con sus «ideas» mal ensambladas, hostilidad contra la sociedad y contra todo lo que ella valora y aprecia. Esto tenía que gustarme de inmediato».

FILOSOFÍA EN LA CALLE

UN LIBRO PARA PENSAR LA VIDA Y VIVIR TU PENSAMIENTO. ¿Cómo se supera una ruptura sentimental? ¿Cómo se afronta la muerte de un ser querido? ¿Cuánto necesitamos comprar para ser felices? ¿Decir «yo también» es lo mismo que decir «te quiero»? ¿Cuándo deberíamos fiarnos de la Wikipedia? ¿Debe un hombre ser feminista? ¿Sirve de algo rezar? La filosofía comenzaron a practicarla hace más de dos milenios hombres libres que se reunían en las calles de las ciudades grie - gas para ejercitar el pensamiento. Los ciudadanos debatían en la plaza pública acerca de lo justo y lo injusto, la verdad o la felici - dad. Esta obra pretende recuperar esa manera de hacer filosofía creando una plaza pública virtual. Cada capítulo te enfrentará a un problema de la vida contemporánea y te brindará algunas res - puestas que los grandes filósofos han aportado. Aquí no encon - trarás una única solución, sino respuestas alternativas e incluso contradictorias, y tendrás que ser tú el que juzgue cuál es la más válida; deberás mediar entre Kant y Bentham, Hobbes y Thoreau, Simone Weil y Platón Este libro transforma la asignatura de filosofía en bachillerato en un curso de lecciones socráticas cargadas de ironía, sentido del humor y referencias al cine. Una obra para todo aquel al que le apa - sione ejercitar el pensamiento y tomar parte activa en el debate. «Después de leer, reírte y pensar con cada capítulo, sigue el en - lace incluido al hilo de Twitter para proseguir la discusión en línea. Te espero en el ágora virtual.» Eduardo Infante

ÉTICA Y DEMOCRACIA

Adela Cortina ha renovado la ética kantiana, primero adoptando la ética del discurso y, posteriormente, transformando la propia ética discursiva por medio de lo que ella llama la razón cordial, que incluye la referencia a los sentimientos, los valores y las virtudes, para lograr que finalmente el bien acontezca de modo que se pongan las condiciones de posibilidad de la justicia. Los fundadores de la ética del discurso separan las normas de los valores y ponen su atención solo en las normas, por entender que constituyen la expresión de la racionalidad, por ser universalizables, pero Cortina reconoce que sin capacidad de estimar el valor de la justicia, o sin capacidad de estimar a los demás interlocutores como valiosos, la justicia de las normas es irrelevante. Nos insta a cultivar la virtud de la cordura que, según sus palabras, es un injerto de la prudencia en el corazón de la justicia. El presente libro ha sido elaborado por investigadores e investigadoras de un buen número de países quienes, partiendo de la razón cordial, muestran la importancia y la vitalidad de sus fundamentos y aplicaciones par

CIENCIA Y FILOSOFÍA

En las páginas del presente libro, se propone al lector una idea filosófica de la unicidad metafísica capaz de dar cuenta de la unidad de sentido real y efectiva. Cada ente es realmente único, no por sus aspectos singulares ni por ser individuo representante de un género, sino como realidad irreductible e inconfundible en su actuar. Y para su actuar se propone un nuevo uso filosófico del venerable verbo trascender. Un puro trascender que, en tanto que pura comunicación, es el fundamento real de nuestras clasificaciones.ÍndiceIntroducción I. Preámbulo filosófico II. La base real de la objetividad científica III.

TREKKING THE BIG PICTURE

Whatever our circumstances, life is a journey into meaning, a trek through the big picture. Many of the dominant ideas in our culture are dead-ends or detours on that voyage home. We can get lost in false notions of what science means, of what 'God' is and the burdens of individual destiny. In this unusual book Andrew Lohrey explores the contemporary nexus of philosophy, science and spirituality. In the codes and structures of meaning he locates the latitude and longitude of consciousness itself. In doing so he takes studies in the meaning of meaning in new directions and leads the reader towards an understanding that spirit is meaning. Far from being a dimension separate from being or knowledge, meaning/spirit is the universal ocean within which all phenomena exist. A great strength of the book is the manner of its telling. Through a voice that develops a web of connections between personal anecdote and theory the reader is led to the conclusion that their individual mind is a unique part of the One cosmic consciousness.
