Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Es usted feliz? ¿Cree que podría ser más feliz? ¿Por qué parecen los demás tan felices? ¿Lo son realmente? ¿Hay que ser siempre positivo? ¿Existe una ciencia de la felicidad? La felicidad y la actitud positiva son la ideología de nuestro tiempo. Perseguir la felicidad se nos presenta casi como una obligación. Preocuparse por el propio desarrollo, pase lo que pase a nuestro alrededor, nos parece de lo más natural. La psicología positiva se autoproclama como la ciencia de la felicidad y nos ofrece técnicas para ser felices, difíciles de rechazar, bajo el supuesto de que quien no es feliz es porque no quiere. La tesis de este libro es que no existe tal ciencia de la felicidad y que su discurso no conduce a una vida con más sentido, ni individual ni colectivo. Escrito por psicólogos de distintas especialidades, este volumen aporta una crítica integral de la psicología y de la ideología positivas de nuestro tiempo. Sin dejar de reconocer la racionalidad de la psicología positiva, muestra la inconsistencia de sus fundamentos y hallazgos científicos. Más que en la ciencia, el sentido de la psicología positiva se enmarca en una tradición ideológica muy peculiar (norteamericana, individualista y neoliberal). Por ello, la psicología positiva encierra su propio camino de servidumbre en el mundo del trabajo y de la nueva empresa. En definitiva, se propone un enfoque alternativo (sin recetas ni promesas) sobre la cuestión de la felicidad y su función en nuestras vidas.

Download or read book La hip tesis de la felicidad written by Jonathan Haidt and published by Gedisa Editorial. This book was released on 2006 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Encontrar la felicidad y el sentido de la vida, tareas que motivaron el quehacer de la filosofía en sus orígenes, son ahora motivo de intensas y apasionantes investigaciones en el campo de la psicología positiva. Jonathan Haidt ha aceptado el reto mayúsculo de abordar estas cuestiones y de darles respuesta, a través de un método que auna un sano eclecticismo, brillantez expositiva y rigurosidad científica. La hipótesis de la felicidad se cimienta en Diez Grandes Ideas que Haidt encontró en los textos de sabiduría antigua de tres grandes zonas del pensamiento clásico: India (por ejemplo, los Upanishad, el Bhagavad Gita o los proverbios de Buda), China (las Analectas de Confucio, el Tao te Ching o los escritos de Mencio) y las culturas del Mediterráneo (el Viejo y Nuevo Testamento, los filósofos griegos y latinos, el Corán). Capítulo a capítulo Haidt desgrana cada una de estas ideas clásicas descubiertas por varias civilizaciones contrastándolas con los hallazgos de la investigación contemporánea. El resultado es una guía de autoayuda enriquecedora, llena de frescura e inteligencia, que muestra con claridad los pasos a seguir en nuestro camino hacia la felicidad.

Download or read book Manifesto of New Realism written by Maurizio Ferraris and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophical realism has taken a number of different forms, each applied to different topics and set against different forms of idealism and subjectivism. Maurizio Ferraris's Manifesto of New Realism takes aim at postmodernism and hermeneutics, arguing against their emphasis on reality as constructed and interpreted. While acknowledging the value of these criticisms of traditional, dogmatic realism, Ferraris insists that the insights of postmodernism have reached a dead end. Calling for the discipline to turn its focus back to truth and the external world, Ferraris's manifesto—which sparked lively debate in Italy and beyond—offers a wiser realism with social and political relevance.

Download or read book Los Invisibles written by Richard Cleminson and published by University of Wales. This book was released on 2007 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the social, medical and cultural history of male homosexuality in Spain, this book looks at it from the time homosexuality came to be an issue of medical, legal and cultural concern. Research into homosexuality in Spain is in its infancy. The last ten or fifteen years have seen a proliferation of studies on gender in Spain but much of this work has concentrated on women's history, literature and femininity. In contrast to existing research which concentrates on literature and literary figures, "Los Invisibles" focuses on the change in cultural representation of same-sex activity of through medicalisation, social and political anxieties about race and the late emergence of homosexual sub-cultures in the last quarter of the twentieth century. As such, this book constitutes an analysis of discourses and ideas from a social history and medical history position. Much of the research for the book was supported by a grant from the Wellcome Trust to research the medicalisation of homosexuality in Spain.

Download or read book Poetry in Pieces written by Michelle Clayton and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2011-01-10 with total page 682 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set against the cultural and political backdrop of interwar Europe and the Americas, Poetry in Pieces is the first major study of the Peruvian poet César Vallejo (1892–1938) to appear in English in more than thirty years. Vallejo lived and wrote in two distinct settings—Peru and Paris—which were continually crisscrossed by new developments in aesthetics, politics, and practices of everyday life; his poetry and prose therefore need to be read in connection with modernity in all its forms and spaces. Michelle Clayton combines close readings of Vallejo’s writings with cultural, historical, and theoretical analysis, connecting Vallejo—and Latin American poetry—to the broader panorama of international modernism and the avant-garde, and to writers and artists such as Rainer Maria Rilke, James Joyce, Georges Bataille, and Charlie Chaplin. Poetry in Pieces sheds new light on one of the key figures in twentieth-century Latin American literature, while exploring ways of rethinking the parameters of international lyric modernity.
