Book Albert Camus  El Rebelde Existencial

Download or read book Albert Camus El Rebelde Existencial written by Carlos Tena Sanchez and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Albert Camus El Rebelde Existencial En la clase de Filosofía Contemporánea tuve oportunidad de leer a Albert Camus, pensador francés y premio Nobel de literatura. Su pluma me cautivó desde un inicio. En esencia, dice él, el problema más importante de la Filosofía es descubrir el Sentido de la Vida y ayudar a otros a develarlo y existir auténticamente con base en él. La carencia de este sentido lleva al ser humano a la desesperanza, el vacio, la depresión, las adicciones y, finalmente, a la muerte. Albert Camus, el Rebelde Existencial, murió a edad temprana, pero en camino de tener un Encuentro con el misterio que da sentido transcendente a nuestras limitadas y complejas vidas sobre la Tierra... Mi esperanza ha sido que, justo en el momento de su muerte, La Voz se develara a sus oídos diciéndole amorosa y firmemente: "El Sentido sí existe, el Sentido Soy Yo, y Yo soy tú". Carlos Tena Sánchez

Book Sartre and the International Impact of Existentialism

Download or read book Sartre and the International Impact of Existentialism written by Alfred Betschart and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-04-21 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection re-examines the global impact of Sartre’s philosophy from 1944-68. From his emergence as an eminent philosopher, dramatist, and novelist, to becoming the ‘world’s conscience’ through his political commitment, Jean-Paul Sartre shaped the mind-set of a generation, influencing writers and thinkers both in France and far beyond. Exploring the presence of existentialism in literature, theatre, philosophy, politics, psychology and film, the contributors seek to discover what made Sartre’s philosophy so successful outside of France. With twenty diverse chapters encompassing the US, Europe, the Middle East, East Asia and Latin America, the volume analyses the dissemination of existentialism through literary periodicals, plays, universities and libraries around the world, as well as the substantial challenges it faced. The global post-war surge of existentialism left permanent traces in history, exerting considerable influence on our way of life in its quest for authenticity and freedom. This timely and compelling volume revives the path taken by a philosophical movement that continues to contribute to the anti-discrimination politics of today.

Book El Existencialismo En Kierkegaard  Dilthey  Heidegger y Sartre

This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LA FILOSOFÍA EXISTENCIALISTA "Uno de los pensamientos que en este momento está conmoviendo al mundo civilizado es la de la Filosofía Existencialista. No es una simple especulación de la inteligencia, ni tampoco una lucubración de aula o de gabinete solamente; tiene su raigambre en la vida social, en el momento histórico. Ciertamente, la historia la está forjando y los pensadores que la formulan, principalmente de Europa, ven en ella una solución al desaliento que está destrozando las almas después de las guerras catastróficas que han deshecho tantas obras de belleza y anulado tantas vidas." Adalberto García de Mendoza (1948)

Book Lacan s Four Fundamental Concepts of Psychoanalysis

Download or read book Lacan s Four Fundamental Concepts of Psychoanalysis written by Roberto Harari and published by Other Press, LLC. This book was released on 2004-10-15 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The informal tone of these ten lectures by Roberto Harari reflects their original character as classes held at El Centro de Extension Psicoanalitica del Centro Cultural General, San Martin Buenos Aires. Destined for a wider audience than just the psychoanalytical camp, Harari's work presents the Lacanian endeavor without presupposition of specialized knowledge—and yet without conceding intellectual subtlety. Harari provides an introductory display of essential themes developed in Lacan's Four Fundamental Concepts of Psychoanalysis, and offers his own insightful reading of the text's central ideas. These ten classes, sparked by the crucial Seminar XI within the teaching of Lacan, reframe a wide range of questions in psychoanalysis for the professional in the field, scholars and students across disciplines, and interested lay readers. Harari is so at ease with Lacan's oeuvre that he can dismantle and rebuild its structure so that order and logic suddenly appear inherent to Lacan's way of thinking. The unconscious, transference, repetition, and the drive are here reintroduced, not only to do justice to Freud's insights, but also to link these concepts to the larger question of the complex relationships between psychoanalysis, religion, and science. Harari's didactic approach and his analytic style come together to bring us one step closer to understanding Lacan and one step closer to understanding ourselves.

Book Hemingway and Existentialism

Download or read book Hemingway and Existentialism written by José Antonio Gurpegui and published by Universitat de València. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ernest Hemingway fue y sigue siendo un escritor particularmente único y controvertido. Este volumen propone un modelo de lectura filosófica, sobre todo desde la perspectiva del existencialismo que dominó Europa durante el segundo cuarto del siglo XX y que fue popularizado por pensadores y escritores como Sartre o Camus. Un enfoque como éste suscita una cuestión de naturaleza temporal, porque cuando Hemingway comenzó a publicar sus obras la filosofía existencialista todavía no se conocía en Europa. La propuesta defendida en este volumen hace referencia al reconocimiento del escritor por los autores rusos (Turgenieff, Tolstoi, Dostoievski), a los que se refiere como su influencia literaria más importante y directa, y que en ocasiones aparecen como referencias indirectas en sus novelas.

Book Volume 8  Tome III  Kierkegaard s International Reception     The Near East  Asia  Australia and the Americas

Download or read book Volume 8 Tome III Kierkegaard s International Reception The Near East Asia Australia and the Americas written by Jon Stewart and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Kierkegaard's reception was initially more or less limited to Scandinavia, it has for a long time now been a highly international affair. As his writings were translated into different languages his reputation spread, and he became read more and more by people increasingly distant from his native Denmark. While in Scandinavia, the attack on the Church in the last years of his life became something of a cause célèbre, later, many different aspects of his work became the object of serious scholarly investigation well beyond the original northern borders. As his reputation grew, he was co-opted by a number of different philosophical and religious movements in different contexts throughout the world. The three tomes of this volume attempt to record the history of this reception according to national and linguistic categories. Tome III is the most geographically diverse, covering the Near East, Asia, Australia and the Americas. The section on the Near East features pioneering articles on the Kierkegaard reception in Israel, Turkey, Iran and the Arab world. The next section dubbed 'Asia and Australia' features articles on the long and rich traditions of Kierkegaard research in Japan and Korea along with the more recent ones in China and Australia. A final section is dedicated to Americas with articles on Canada, the United States, hispanophone South America, Mexico and Brazil.

Download or read book Sartre Jews and the Other written by Manuela Consonni and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-02-24 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The starting point for this compilation is the wish to rethink the concept of antisemitism, race and gender in light of Sartre’s pioneering Réflexions sur la Question Juive seventy years after its publication. The book gathers texts by prestigious scholars from different disciplines in the Humanities and the Social Sciences, with the objective or revisiting this work locating it within the setting of two other pioneering – and we argue, related – publications, namely Simone De Beauvoir’s Le deuxième sexe of 1949 and Franz Fanon’s Peau noire et masques blancs of 1952. This particular and original standpoint sheds new light on the different meanings and political functions of the concept of antisemitism in a political and historical context marked by the post-modern concepts of multi-ethnicity and multiculturalism.

Book Reactive scattering for H    H2 and H    H2 and its isotopologues

Download or read book Reactive scattering for H H2 and H H2 and its isotopologues written by Dequan Wang and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reactive scattering for H- + H2 and H+ + H2 and its isotopologues were investigated using different methods. The studies aimed at providing insights into elementary reactions, and go beyond these to more complexchemical reactions. By comparison of the reaction probabilities of H+ + H2 using adiabatic and non-adiabatic methods, it was found that, at low collision energies, the reaction preferentially occurs adiabatically, but at higher collision energies non-adiabatic effects should be taken into account. For H- + H2 and its isotopologues, we can see that, at low collision energies, the reaction probabilities and reaction cross section using SM-PES and AY-PES are very similar but different from PS-PES. The reaction cross sections investigated with quasi-classical trajectoriesare higher than those calculated with quantum wavepackets. For the collision H- and D- with HD, the main reaction path ways are different with the different collision energies.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this volume constitute a portion of the research program being carried out by the International Society for Phenomenology and the Human Sciences. Established as an affiliate society of the World Institute for Ad vanced Phenomenological Research and Learning in 1976, in Arezzo, Italy, by the president of the Institute, Dr Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka, this particular society is devoted to an exploration of the relevance of phenomenological methods and insights for an understanding of the origins and goals of the specialised human sciences. The essays printed in the first part of the book were originally presented at the Second Congress of this society held at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, 12-14 July 1979.

The main ideas of this work had been presented by Tymieniecka as lead lectures to the three conferences giving them a tight research-project con sistency.

Book Cr  Tica a la Educaci  N Pr  Ctica y a la Pr  Ctica de la Educaci  N en M  Xico

This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El Dr. Omar Gavotto en este ensayo plantea el problema de lo oculto y lo manifiesto de la educación formal, reflexiona sobre cómo la educación se ha convertido en un estandarte del discurso político y lastimosamente se ha encriptado lo esencial del proyecto educativo; actuando de modo contrario a los principios pedagógicos. Se develan así las principales contradicciones del sistema educativo, que por sus efectos ha obstaculizado la educación integral de la sociedad. Quedan al descubierto las grandes paradojas de la educación formal, a través de un análisis profundo del manejo actual de los principales conceptos de la educación y sus prácticas educativas. El autor analiza con un enfoque crítico la educación de nuestro tiempo, invitando a revisar el discurso utópico y demagógico que encontramos en la gran mayoría de los congresos y libros educativos que promueven estrategias para lograr la eficacia de un sistema educativo que no forma integralmente, dando líneas de acción para administrar con calidad un proyecto educativo diseñado de origen para ser ineficaz. Se torna urgente la transformación del sistema educativo, para justificar su existencia. Es evidente la inexistencia de un modelo educativo nacional que de solución a los problemas sociales actuales, proponiendo a los docentes iniciar con la transformación para redirigir a nuestra sociedad hacia otro destino.

Book Borges and the Literary Marketplace

Download or read book Borges and the Literary Marketplace written by Nora C. Benedict and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating history of Jorge Luis Borges's efforts to revolutionize and revitalize literature in Latin America "Nora Benedict's illuminating book is an essential contribution to the understanding of Borges' relationship to the written word. The portrait of Borges as writer and reader is now made complete with Benedict's exploration of Borges as editor."--Alberto Manguel, director, Center for Research into the History of Reading Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) stands out as one of the most widely regarded and inventive authors in world literature. Yet the details of his employment history throughout the early part of the twentieth century, which foreground his efforts to develop a worldly reading public, have received scant critical attention. From librarian and cataloguer to editor and publisher, this writer emerges as entrenched in the physical minutiae and social implications of the international book world. Drawing on years of archival research coupled with bibliographical analysis, Nora C. Benedict explains how Borges's more general involvement in the publishing industry influenced not only his formation as a writer, but also global book markets and reading practices in world literature. In this way she tells the story of Borges's profound efforts to revolutionize and revitalize literature in Latin America through his various jobs in the publishing industry.

  • Pages : 246 pages

Download or read book Sur written by John King and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1986-12-04 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of Sur, Argentina's foremost literary and cultural journal of the twentieth century. Victoria Ocampo (its founder and lifelong editor) and Jorge Luis Borges (a regular and influential contributor) feature prominently in the story, while the contributions of other major writers (including Eduardo Mallea, William Faulkner, André Breton, Virginia Woolf, Alfonso Reyes, Octavio Paz, Waldo Frank, Aldous Huxley and Graham Greene) are discussed. Politically speaking, Sur represented a certain brand of liberalism, a resistance to populism and mass culture, and an attachment to elitist values which offended against the more dominant phases of Argentine thought, from Peronism to the varied forms of nationalism, socialism and Marxism. Dr King examines the journal's roots, its development and its demise, relating it to other journals circulating at the time, and highlighting vital issues debated in its pages, such as Argentine attitudes towards fascism during the Second World War.
