Book excerpt: Este libro historico puede tener numerosos errores tipograficos y texto faltante. Los compradores pueden descargar una copia gratuita escaneada del libro original (sin errores tipograficos) desde la editorial. No indexado. No se muestra. 1911 edition. Extracto: ...de valor espiritual ha pasado por sus filas. En un pensador tan singular como Berdiaeff se trasunta su juventud marxista. Es que el marxismo significo un poderoso momento en la historia y todas las grotescas ridiculeces a que lo exponen sus partidarios y usufructuarios no deben oscurecer esa verdad. Marx ha sido un genio, a pesar de lo que afirmen los stalinistas. Pero no ha habido genio que no se haya equivocado y en cierto modo el poder de los genios se mide por el alcance de sus equivocaciones. Schopenhauer dijo de Aristoteles que habia constituido una gran calamidad historica. Pero lo fue precisamente a causa de su genio, no a pesar de el. Vastos espacios de tiempo fueron dominados por sus aciertos, pero tambien oscurecidos por sus errores y, muy especialmente, por la necedad de sus seguidores. Nos dio la logica y buena parte de la filosofia; pero tambien, dos mil anos despues de su muerte, nos infirio aquellos profesores que se negaban a mirar los satelites de Jupiter por el anteojo de Galileo, porque el maestro no los mencionaba en ninguna parte. La parte mas valiosa de la doctrina de Marx es, sin duda, su interpretacion de la historia y de la sociedad. Hasta el prevalecia la tendencia a estudiar una ideologia, una filosofia, una escuela artistica, intrinsecamente, sin relacion con los problemas sociales de su tiempo y, sobre todo, con un absoluto desden por los factores mas bajos; habria parecido una muestra de mal gusto establecer algun vinculo entre la pintura renacentista y el surgimiento de la burguesia. De una vez para todas, Marx...

Download or read book Psychoanalysis Group Analysis and Beyond written by Juan Tubert-Oklander and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-11 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychoanalysis, Group Analysis, and Beyond presents an important new paradigm in psychoanalysis and group analysis, presenting the individual and the group as elements of a wider whole and taking socio-political and cultural contexts into account. Juan Tubert-Oklander and Reyna Hernández-Tubert explore the contributions of group analysis to this new perspective, which suggests a holistic conception of the respective status and nature of what the common-sense view of the world conceives as the individual and the community. Part I presents thoughts on the ‘gelding’ of psychoanalysis, focuses on the limitations of classical psychoanalysis, and elaborates on key topics including epistemology, inclusion and exclusion, culture, and the real. Part II considers the reincorporation of what had formerly been excluded, through the theory and practice of group analysis. Finally, Part III bridges the gap, presenting several approaches to the building of the new paradigm that is so sorely needed. Psychoanalysis, Group Analysis, and Beyond will be of great interest to group analysts, psychoanalysts, and psychotherapists in practice and in training, as well as other professionals specializing in group work.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of the dirty Wars written by David R. Kohut and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2010 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike a conventional war waged against a standing army, a "dirty war" is waged against individuals, groups, or ideas considered subversive. Originally associated with Argentina's military regime from 1976-1983, the term has since been applied to neighboring dictatorships during the period. Indeed, it has become a byword for state-sponsored repression anywhere in the world. The first edition of this reference illustrated the concept by describing the regimes of Argentina, Chile (1973-1990), and Uruguay (1973-1985), which tortured, murdered, and disappeared thousands of people in the name of anticommunism while thousands more were driven into exile. The second edition expands the scope to include Bolivia (1971-1982), Brazil (1964-1985), and Paraguay (1954-1989). Includes a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over 400 cross-referenced dictionary entries on the countries; guerrilla and political movements; prominent guerrilla, human-rights, military, and political figures; local, regional, and international human-rights organizations; and artistic figures (filmmakers, novelists, and playwrights) whose works attempt to represent or resist the period of repression.--Publisher.

Download or read book A Companion to Modern Spanish American Fiction written by Donald Leslie Shaw and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 2002 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With such figures as Jorge Luis Borges, Miguel ngel Asturias and Gabriel Garc a M rquez (both the latter Nobel Prizewinners) Spanish American fiction is now unquestionably an integral part of the mainstream of Western literature. This book draws on the most recent research in describing the origins and development of narrative in Spanish America during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, tracing the pattern from Romanticism and Realism, through Modernismo, Naturalism and Regionalism to the Boom and beyond. It shows how, while seldom moving completely away from satire, social criticism and protest, Spanish American fiction has evolved through successive phases in which both the conceptions of the writer's task and presumptions about narrative and reality have undergone radical alterations. DONALD SHAW holds the Brown Forman Chair of Spanish American literature in the University of Virginia.

Download or read book Reescrituras written by Luz Rodríguez Carranza and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2004 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este volumen reúne una serie de ensayos cuyo origen fue un coloquio doble - Reescrituras I y II - organizado en Leiden en mayo 2001 por el Departamento de Lenguas y Culturas de América Latina, la Cátedra de Estudios Brasileños y la Netherlands Graduate School for Literary Studies (OSL), con el apoyo de la Universidad de Aarhus y del University College London. En Imagen y Memoria (Reescrituras I) las aproximaciones, cada una a su modo, giran en torno a un aspecto del tema propuesto: desde el tratamiento de varios niveles de intertextualidad hasta la cuestión compleja de la presencia simultánea de múltiples memorias en la literatura. Muchos trabajos problematizan el rescate de las voces del pasado, oscurecidas y marginalizadas, que dialogan con el presente o se mezclan con él creando situaciones anacrónicas que al fin y al cabo terminan por eliminar las barreras entre lo erudito y lo popular, lo moderno y lo tradicional, lo propio y lo ajeno. En Jorge Luis Borges y la cultura popular (Reescrituras II) el hilo conductor es la propuesta inicial del coloquio: la escritura de Jorge Luis Borges como mito, como estereotipo de las Reescrituras de lo popular. La hipótesis fue la del estudiante de "El acercamiento a Almotásim" "En algún punto de la tierra hay un hombre de quien procede esa claridad, en algún punto de la tierra está el hombre que es igual a esa claridad". El volumen se cierra con un ensayo en el cual la autora asume en primera persona los desgarramientos y las reescrituras de la modernidad.

Download or read book Mission Between the Times written by C. René Padilla and published by Langham Publishing. This book was released on 2010-10-04 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: René Padilla was one of the premier representatives of orthodox evangelicalism in Latin America. He consistently championed integral mission, a holistic understanding of Christian mission in which there is no artificial barrier between evangelization and social responsibility. Biblical, faithful to Scripture, contemporary and inspirational, the core message of this updated classic remains just as urgent as when it was first published twenty-five years ago. This revised version includes a new essay on the contemporary history of integral mission, a history that began with the Latin American Theological Fellowship, progressed within the Lausanne Movement, is bearing fruit globally through the Micah Network, and challenges evangelicals to address the major issues of our day.

Download or read book New Queries in Aesthetics and Metaphysics written by Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1991-10-31 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection is the final volume of a four book survey of the state of phenomenology fifty years after the death of Edmund Husserl. Its publication represents a landmark in the comprehensive treatment of contemporary phenomenology in all its vastness and richness. The diversity of the issues raised here is dazzling, but the main themes of Husserl's thought are all either explicitly treated, or else they underlie the ingenious approaches found here. Time, historicity, intentionality, eidos, meaning, possibility/reality, and teleology are the main concerns of this collection devoted to studies in aesthetics, metaphysics and literary interpretation, written by such authors as, among others, R. Cobb-Stevens, C. Moreno Marquez, J. Swiecimski, Sitansu Ray and M. Kronegger. These original studies of phenomenological aesthetics and literary theory by scholars from all parts of the world were gathered by the World Institute for Advanced Phenomenological Research and Learn ing during the year 1988/89 during its assessment of the phenomeno logical movement, fifty years after Husserl's death.
