Download or read book Filosof a y cr tica de la cultura written by José Antonio Pérez Tapias and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La presente obra arranca de una convicción: la reflexión filosófica no transcurre en el clima aséptico de una aislada campana de cristal, ni en las alturas incontaminadas de cualquier figurada estratosfera; por el contrario, al tener lugar en medio de unas condiciones culturales determinadas, no puede marginarse de ellas, sino que ha de afrontar su concreta ubicación y hacerse cargo de la problemática humana que desde su entorno emerge. A esa intención responden estas páginas sobre Filosofía y crítica de la cultura en las que, bajo ese título, se desarrollan tres líneas de trabajo interrelacionadas: - el autoesclarecimiento de la filosofía, atendiendo a su dimensión constituyente de crítica de la cultura; -el esclarecimiento de la compleja realidad cultural del hombre; -el análisis de algunos problemas filosóficos cruciales planteados en la actual encrucijada de nuestro modelo civilizatorio. La primera parte de la obra aborda la filosofía como producto cultural a través del cual la misma cultura se autocritica. Tras seguir la pista a las relaciones de la filosofía con otros productos de la esfera cognitiva de la cultura ?mito, ciencia e ideología, atendiendo también a su relación con el modo de pensar utópico?, se desemboca en la propuesta de una filosofía crítico-hermenéutica de la cultura. La segunda parte ahonda en las bases antropológicas de la cultura y su dinámica. Transitando por la vía que conduce desde una filosofía de la cultura hacia una filosofía del hombre, se ilumina a la vez el camino de una filosofía crítica que no elude la dimensión normativa requerida para abordar el trayecto que va de la hominización a la humanización. La última parte se centra en problemas cruciales como los que hoy representan la tensión entre universalismo y particularismo, con el consiguiente cuestionamiento de las pretensiones universalistas de la razón, incluida la razón moral, desde la diversidad cultural, o el debate en torno al progreso, habida cuenta de la ambigüedad inerradicable de la historia. Apuntando a las condiciones necesarias para un nuevo humanismo transcultural se trata de afrontar la gran alternativa de nuestro tiempo: «humanismo o barbarie».

This book was released on 2012 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solo quiero referir a una opinión de Einstein, este magnífico matemático y hombre de bien. Se le preguntó por qué la mayoría de los estudiantes se les dificultaba el estudio de las matemáticas. Einstein se concretó a decir "La dificultad de las mentes juveniles para entender la matemática estriba en que no han sido suficientemente educadas en el sentimiento del ritmo" Ciertamente, las matemáticas, llevan un ritmo interior, el más profundo que sólo la visión del universo puede entregar a la mente y a la contemplación del intelecto. El arte ornamental siempre se ha proyectado hacia fuera, en cambio, el arte ornamental en la matemática, corresponde únicamente al campo interno del espíritu, a la región de los pensamientos en su más pura manifestación. Las matemáticas son un elemento vital en la vida del hombre, están relacionadas con su producción artística filosófica y en el transcurrir de los siglos pueden interpretarse como una manifestación pura y diáfana de ese ritmo que ha dominado a los pensamientos.

Download or read book Morality and Cultural Differences written by John W. Cook and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999-01-28 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The scholars who defend or dispute moral relativism, the idea that a moral principle cannot be applied to people whose culture does not accept it, have concerned themselves with either the philosophical or anthropological aspects of relativism. This study shows that in order to arrive at a definitive appraisal of moral relativism, it is necessary to understand and investigate both its anthropological and philosophical aspects. Carefully examining the arguments for and against moral relativism, Cook exposes not only that anthropologists have failed in their attempt to support relativism with evidence of cultural differences, but that moral absolutists have been equally unsuccessful in their attempts to refute it. He argues that these conflicting positions are both guilty of an artificial and unrealistic view of morality and proposes a more subtle and complex account of morality.
Download or read book Interpretation and Its Objects written by Andreea Deciu Ritivoi and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2003 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume collects twenty-one original essays that discuss Michael Krausz’s distinctive and provocative contribution to the theory of interpretation. At the beginning of the book Krausz offers a synoptic review of his central claims, and he concludes with a substantive essay that replies to scholars from the United States, England, Germany, India, Japan, and Australia. Krausz’s philosophical work centers around a distinction that divides interpreters of cultural achievements into two groups. Singularists assume that for any object of interpretation only one single admissible interpretation can exist. Multiplists assume that for some objects of interpretation more than one interpretation is admissible. A central question concerns the ontological entanglements involved in interpretive activity. Domains of application include works of art and music, as well as literary, historical, legal and religious texts. Further topics include truth commissions, ethnocentrism and interpretations across cultures.

Download or read book Latin American Thought written by Susana Nuccetelli and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin American Thought examines the relationship between philosophy and rationality in Latin American thought, the nature of justice, human rights, and cultural identity, and other questions that have concerned Latin American thinkers from the colonial period to the present day. From the Mayans, Aztecs, and Incas to the present day, reveals the assembly of interesting philosophical arguments offered by Latin Americans. Nuccetelli traces Latin American thought through questions concerning rationality, gender discrimination, justice, human rights, reparation for historically dispossessed peoples, and relativism vs. universalism - all matters of continuing concern in Spanish and Portuguese-speaking parts of the world . Amongst issues of heated controversy from the early twentieth century to the present, also explores how Latin Americans and their descendants abroad think of their own cultural identity, of US mass-culture and philosophy, and of the vexing problem of which name, if any, to use when referring to this exceedingly diverse ethnic group. Many of the philosophical questions raised by Latin American thinkers are problems that have concerned philosophers at different times and in different places throughout the Western tradition. But in fact the issues are not altogether the same - for they have been adapted to capture problems presented by new circumstances, and Latin Americans have sought resolutions in ways that are indeed novel. This book explains how well-established philosophical traditions gave rise in the "New World" to a distinctive manner of thinking. There was no clean sweep of the past and an attempt to start over: rather, Latin American thinkers mostly welcomed European ideas at whatever pace such traditions happened to arrive. It is then no surprise that, for instance, Scholasticism became the accepted view under Spanish rule, and began to lose its grip only when the rulers did. But what does seem surprising is the radical way in which those traditions were transformed to account for problems that, though familiar, were now seen intake light of new circumstances. A distinctive Latin American way of thinking about such problems emerged from the project of "recycling" European philosophical traditions, some of which were already obsolete in Europe at the time their transplant took place. Thus theories commonly taken to be incompatible within Western traditions in philosophy were absorbed by Latin American thought-- and, in their newly acquired forms, such theories are even now at the basis of proposed solutions to many practical and philosophical problems. The book explores that recycling process. Above all, it aims to determine whether the various cultures that met in the "New World" could now be said to have come to share a common identity. This is in fact an issue which has preoccupied Latin Americans since at least the beginning of the 19th century, when their countries won their independence. But, in connection with this, it is also important to ask how Latin Americans have thought about the relationship between philosophy and rationality, and about other issues belonging to the major areas of philosophy such as epistemology, moral philosophy, and political philosophy, as well their application to vital social issues, including education and the emancipation of women. These are all taken up by the author, who pays special attention to questions of gender discrimination, justice, human rights, reparation for historically dispossessed peoples, and the role of education-- all matters of continuing concern in Latin American thought, from its earliest stirrings to the present day.
