Book Cinco lecciones de filosof  a

Download or read book Cinco lecciones de filosof a written by Xavier Zubiri and published by Alianza Editorial Sa. This book was released on 2002 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La filosofía escribió XAVIER ZUBIRI (1898-1983) adopta estructuras muy diversas y puede ser entendida como forma de vida, como doctrina de la vida o como conocimiento. CINCO LECCIONES DE FILOSOFÍA muestra la idea estructural y el objeto formal sobre el que recae ese modo de conocimiento en la obra de cinco pensadores: el ente, para Aristóteles; el objeto fenoménico, para Kant; el hecho científico, para Comte; el dato inmediato de la conciencia, para Bergson; la esencia pura de la conciencia, para Husserl. Si bien estos filósofos no dicen lo mismo, hablan de lo mismo, tanto por su objeto como por la índole de su conocimiento.

Book Dynamic Structure of Reality

Download or read book Dynamic Structure of Reality written by Nelson R. Orringer and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dynamic Structure of Reality makes available in English some of the most mature thought of the modern Spanish philosopher Xavier Zubiri. He first presented this material as a set of 1968 public lectures in Madrid. They were collected, edited, and published in 1989 as Estructura dinámica de la realidad. In 1962 Zubiri had published Sobre la esencia (On essence), a work of metaphysics that was praised by critics with one qualification: its treatment of reality was too static. The 1968 course was devised as a response to those critics. Dynamic Structure of Reality retraces the road Hegel traveled concerning the creation of a self and how that self is realized by an interplay between spirit and nature. Like his great predecessor José Ortega y Gasset, and like his great Jewish contemporary Emmanuel Levinas, Zubiri takes religion in all seriousness and locates its questions within the questions of modern philosophy. In harmony with science, he advances a new idea of becoming. Reality, not being, becomes. As reality’s traits are revealed, in different degrees, reality resembles God, the universal self-giver. Zubiri systematically touches on many disciplines to show the varieties of self-giving--throughout the universe--of structural dynamism.

Download or read book Husserl s Ideen written by Lester Embree and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-11-05 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of more than two dozen essays by philosophy scholars of international repute traces the profound impact exerted by Husserl’s Meisterwerk, known in its shortened title as Ideen, whose first book was released in 1913. Published to coincide with the centenary of its original appearance, and fifty years after the second book went to print in 1952, the contributors offer a comprehensive array of perspectives on the ways in which Husserl’s concept of phenomenology influenced leading figures and movements of the last century, including, among others, Ortega y Gassett, Edith Stein, Martin Heidegger, Aron Gurwitsch, Ludwig Landgrebe, Dorion Cairns, Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jacques Derrida and Giles Deleuze. In addition to its documentation and analysis of the historical reception of these works, this volume also illustrates the ongoing relevance of the Ideen, offering scholarly discussion of the issues raised by his ideas as well as by the figures who took part in critical phenomenological dialogue with them. Among the topics discussed are autism, empathy, the nature of the emotions, the method and practice of phenomenology, the foundations of ethics, naturalism, intentionality, and human rights, to name but a few. Taken together, these specially commissioned original essays offer an unrivaled overview of the reception of Husserl‘s Ideen, and the expanding phenomenological enterprise it initiated. They show that the critical discussion of issues by phenomenologists continues to be relevant for the 21st century.

Book Cinco lecciones de filosof  a

Download or read book Cinco lecciones de filosof a written by Xavier Zubiri and published by Alianza Editorial Sa. This book was released on 2009 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El presente volumen recoge dos textos distintos de Zubiri. Entre los escasos libros que publicó en vida, Cinco lecciones de Filosofía (primera edición en 1963) es el más divulgativo y el más accesible a los que se inician en el pensamiento filosófico. De hecho, se publicó ininterrumpidamente durante más de cuarenta y cinco años y formó parte de una colección (“Alianza bolsillo”) dirigida a un público amplio. Ahora retorna a esta edición de referencia en las obras de Zubiri con pequeñas correcciones, algún complemento y los correspondientes índices, de tal modo que resulte más útil para el lector y el investigador de la obra zubiriana. Esta edición incluye un segundo texto hasta ahora inédito. Con el título general El problema de lo real en la filosofía moderna Zubiri ofreció a finales de 1970 un breve curso de dos lecciones. Se trata de un texto mucho más denso, cuyo tema central viene marcado por la idea de las cuatro sustantivaciones (espacio, tiempo, ser y conciencia) que, según Zubiri, determinarían lo específico de la filosofía moderna, algo que había sido insinuado más de una vez en otros escritos ya publicados, pero que nunca había sido objeto de un tratamiento sistemático. Es instructivo observar cómo Zubiri esbozo su propia idea de una inteligencia sentiente en tanto que actualidad de la realidad como salida frente al agotamiento filosófico del horizonte moderno, algo que no dejará de plantear interrogantes y quizá discusiones

Book Edmund Husserl Bibliography

Download or read book Edmund Husserl Bibliography written by Steven Spileers and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bibliography contains the publications of Husserl and the main secondary literature on Husserl, from Husserl's earliest publication (1887) till today (1997). As the collection of material was conduded in lune 1997, the list of publications for the year 1997 is of course incomplete. In this bibliography publications in the following languages have been induded: German, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch - for both primary and secondary literature. Since this bibliography has been based primarily on the consultation of the induded documents (and not restricted to copying already existing bibliographies), it was not possible to indude publications in languages other than those mentioned. The bibliography has been constructed in the following way: 1. The list of Husserl's works and secondary literature by individual authors is preceded by a list of all edited volumes in which a text by or on Husserl is published. This list is ordered chronologica11y and runs from 1921 ti11 1997 (inclusive). Edited volumes of the same year are classified according to language, and this in the order mentioned above: German, English, French, etc. Edited volumes with a title in more than one language are classified according to the above order of languages (this of course concerns only the title of the edited volume, not the title(s) of the individual contributions). This order is maintained throughout the other parts of the bibliography.

Book The Fundamental Problems of Western Metaphysics

Download or read book The Fundamental Problems of Western Metaphysics written by Xavier Zubiri and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2010 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the profound reflections of Xavier Zubiri (1898-1983) on the history of philosophy to English-speaking audiences. As a philosopher who rethought much of philosophy and theology, Zubiri felt it necessary to be in continuous dialogue with earlier thinkers both to avoid past mistakes and to extract all that is valuable from them. The theme of the present book is the transcendental in Western philosophy and how a firm grasp of it reveals underlying unity in Western philosophy, but also fundamental problems that Zubiri believed require a complete rethinking of certain basic notions and theories. Zubiri develops this theme by analyzing the work of six major philosophers: Aristotle, St. Thomas, Descartes, Leibniz, Kant, and Hegel. To conclude, he sketches his own resolution of the problems of Western philosophy, a subject addressed in greater depth in his major work, Sentient Intelligence. This translation was made possible by a grant from the Spanish Ministry of Culture.

Book excerpt: "Father Ignacio Ellacuria, SJ, president of the University of Central America, leading Latin American philosopher, and liberation theologian, was assassinated with five Jesuit companions and two women on November 16, 1989. Love That Produces Hope brings together leading authorities on key aspects of Ellacuria's thought. The book introduces readers to the groundbreaking life and thought of Ignacio Ellacuria. His biography and writings embody late twentieth-century transformations and tensions that reshaped the life of the Catholic church among the crucified peoples of Central America. Love That Produces Hope evaluates the significance of Ellacuria's work, particularly his impact on theology, philosophy, and education. Ellacuria found hope in his faith that God's grace sustains the tenacious struggle of millions of men, women, and children to nurture those they love in the face of poverty and an uncertain future."--Publisher's website.

Book What is Knowledge

    Book Details:
  • Author : Jose Ortega y Gasset
  • Publisher : State University of New York Press
  • Release : 2012-02-01
  • ISBN : 0791489574
  • Pages : 266 pages

Download or read book What is Knowledge written by Jose Ortega y Gasset and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Appearing in English for the first time, this book comprises two of Ortega's most important works, ¿Qué es conocimiento? and the essay "Ideas y creencias." This is Ortega's attempt to systematically present the foundations of his metaphysics of human life and, on that basis, to provide a radical philosophical account of knowledge. In so doing, he criticizes idealism and overcomes it. Accordingly, this book goes well beyond a treatise on epistemology; in fact, as understood in modern philosophy, this discipline and its questions are shown to be derivative and, in that sense, they are transcended here by Ortega's systematic effort. Written during the time of his maturity, these works are representative of his fruitful and radical period. Both ¿Qué es conocimiento? and "Ideas y creencias" are equally decisive not only for the understanding and radical completion of Ortega's work, but also for their relevance to the work of continental philosophers during the same period and for years to come (e.g., Husserl, Jaspers, Heidegger, Sartre, and others).

Book The Liberating Philosophy of Ignacio Ellacur  a

Download or read book The Liberating Philosophy of Ignacio Ellacur a written by Luis Arturo Martínez Vásquez and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2024-01-16 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Liberating Philosophy of Ignacio Ellacuría: Historical Reality, Humanism, and Praxis is the first systematic work on the philosophy of Ignacio Ellacuría to be published in English so far. The Spaniard-Salvadorian philosopher—murdered in Salvador in 1989 by the military—maintains that philosophy is a permanent task grounded in metaphysics as first philosophy, as developed within a historical reality and a preferential option for the poor. As explored by this collection edited by Luis Arturo Martínez Vásquez, Randall Carrera Umaña, and Luis Rubén Díaz Cepeda, Ellacuría's theory is a critical and practical proposal immersed in the colonial history of Central America, but its explanatory and normative power extends to oppressed people all around the world. The contributors to this volume, coming from Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Salvador, and Costa Rica, analyze Ellacuría's philosophy of liberation in conjunction with radical realism and strength, describing it as "a philosophy created by people concerned with the problems and history of our land—such as our colonial past, systemic poverty and dependency—and… responding to these concerns can offer alternatives for a true liberation of all the dominated peoples of the world."
