Download or read book Richard Rorty democracia contingencia y verdad written by Juan José Ramírez and published by Editorial Universidad Católica de Córdoba. This book was released on 2021-09-23 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "La prioridad de la democracia sobre la filosofía" implica una comunidad liberal que ofrece a sus ciudadanos todo el espacio posible para que desarrollen sus proyectos privados. Lo que esta comunidad requiere de esos proyectos es que reconozcan su privacidad no obstaculizando los planes alternativos de otros ciudadanos. En la medida en que se pueda constatar la convivencia de múltiples y diversos proyectos privados, se dejará de insistir en la justificación de los intereses propios para ejercer algún tipo de dominación sobre los demás. En esta comunidad la cuestión no es cómo conseguir que los seres humanos vivan de acuerdo con la naturaleza, sino cómo lograr que vivan con gente que tiene nociones distintas acerca del sentido de la vida humana. En este contexto, la filosofía, una disciplina académica que tradicionalmente se ha atribuido la capacidad de señalar el verdadero aspecto del mundo y la orientación de las acciones humanas, deviene, para un filósofo edificante, en un instrumento conversacional que permite diseñar de un modo no violento nuestro mundo y nuestras acciones. Se trata de un género literario que se libera del embrujo epistemológico y del análisis lógico para portar nuevas herramientas –contingentes e ironistas– que sirvan para la flexibilización de la corteza social y el estímulo de nuevas formas de identificación con otras gentes. Esta filosofía –postfilosófica– comporta un abandono terapéutico de cualquier pretensión ontológica-epistemológica y promueve una educación sentimental con la expectativa de formar agentes de amor y agentes de justicia para llevar a cabo las tareas ciudadanas de una comunidad democrática y liberal. En este texto Juan José Ramírez ofrece una reconstrucción rigurosa y exhaustiva de la filosofía política de Richard Rorty. A lo largo de sus páginas, el autor ofrece un relevamiento del corpus bibliográfico en el que el pragmatista expone las principales tesis de su "liberalismo burgués posmoderno". La tesis de Juan José Ramírez demuestra el trabajo exhaustivo de una investigación minuciosa y supone una originalidad manifiesta respecto a la exposición integral del pensamiento de Richard Rorty.
Download or read book Contingencia iron a y solidaridad written by Richard Rorty and published by Grupo Planeta (GBS). This book was released on 1991 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Desde la filosofia hasta la critica literaria, pasando por la teoria social, el amplio ambito de referencia de este libro encierra conclusiones igualmente complejas. Rorty sostiene que pensadores tales como Nietzche, Freud y Wittgenstein han hecho posible que las sociedades se consideren a si mismas como contingencias historicas antes que como expresiones de una subyacente naturaleza ahistorica o como realizaciones de metas suprahistoricas. Esta perspectiva ironica acerca de la condicion humana resulta valiosa en el plano privado, si bien no puede adelantarse a los fines sociales o politicos del liberalismo. Rorty cree en realidad que es la literatura, y no la filosofia la que puede hacer tal cosa promoviendo un sentido genuino de la solidaridad humana, sobre todo a partir de novelistas como Orwell y Nabokov. Una cultura verdaderamente liberal, con clara conciencia de su contingencia historica, fusionaria la libertad privada, individual, de la perspectiva filosofica, ironica, con el proyecto publico de la solidaridad humana engendrado por la inteligencia y la sensibilidad de grandes escritores. Richard Rorty caracterizado como el filosofo mas interesante de la actualidad en todo el mundo, autor de El giro linguistico y compilador de La filosofia en la historia, ambos publicados tambien por Paidos se revela aqui como un teorico singularmente sutil, cuya escritura atraera tanto a lectores academicos como a los no academicos.
Download or read book Verdad y progreso written by Richard Rorty and published by Paidos Iberica Ediciones S A. This book was released on 2000 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este volumen es complementario de otros dos tomos, ya publicados por Paidos, correspondientes a los Escritos filosoficos de Richard Rorty: Objetividad, realismo y verdad y Ensayos sobre Heidegger y otros pensadores contemporaneos. El tema que subyace a toda la serie es el convencimiento, por parte del autor, de que no deberiamos pensar que la investigacion, ya sea en la ciencia o en cualquier otra area de la cultura, apunta hacia la verdad, sino que se limita a resolver problemas. Solo la desacreditada teoria de la verdad como correspondencia hace plausible la idea de que se trata de una meta. Una vez que se abandona tal nocion, se puede empezar a dudar tambien de que la investigacion deba dirigirse hacia un punto determinado y, en consecuencia, contemplar sus horizontes como algo en constante expansion, a medida que tropezamos con nuevos problemas. Todo ello ilustrado con analisis del trabajo de algunos de los pensadores actuales mas importantes, como por ejemplo Robert Brandom, Donald Davidson, Daniel Dennett, Jacques Derrida, Jurgen Habermas, John McDowell, Hilary Putnam, John Searle y Charles Taylor.
Download or read book Revisiting Richard Rorty written by Pedro Góis Moreira and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Rorty is considered one of the most original philosophers of the last decades, and he has generated warm enthusiasm on the part of many intellectuals and students, within and outside the field of philosophy. The collection opens with an essay by Robert Brandom, in which he continues the discussion of Rorty’s “vocabulary vocabulary” that he began in Rorty and his Critics, and ends with an interview in which Brandom talks about Rorty himself as a teacher and friend. The collection is then divided into three further sections, each addressing an aspect of Rorty’s thought. First, a political section contains several essays discussing Rorty’s notorious “prophecy” in Achieving our Country and the idea that he would have foreseen the rise of a political “strongman.” Also discussed are Rorty's view of the cultural left, his view of the relation between truth and democracy, and Rorty on the concept of fraternity. In a second, epistemological section, several essays address Rorty’s historicism, anti-representationalism, and his views on truth and on religion, often through the lenses of his critics (Putnam, Habermas, Dews). A final section addresses the relations between Rorty and other philosophers such as Hume, Heidegger, and Ortega y Gasset. This works contains valuable essays in three languages — English, Portuguese, and Spanish — and is a small example of the reach of Rorty’s thought and its expansion beyond the Anglo-Saxon world in only ten years after his death. It will appeal to Rorty’s scholars and researchers as well as any student of pragmatism and anti-foundationalist thought.
Download or read book Latin American Philosophy written by Eduardo Mendieta and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2003-02-06 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The essays in this book make it elegantly clear that there is a vigorous and rigorous Latin American philosophy . . . and that others dismiss it at their peril." —Mario Sáenz The ten essays in this lively anthology move beyond a purely historical consideration of Latin American philosophy to cover recent developments in political and social philosophy as well as innovations in the reception of key philosophical figures from the European Continental tradition. Topics such as indigenous philosophy, multiculturalism, the philosophy of race, democracy, postmodernity, the role of women, and the position of Latin America and Latin Americans in a global age are explored by notable philosophers from the region. An introduction by Eduardo Mendieta examines recent trends and points to the social, political, economic, and cultural conditions that have inspired the discipline. Latin American Philosophy brings English-speaking readers up to date with recent scholarship and points to promising new directions.
Download or read book World Anthropologies written by Gustavo Lins Ribeiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-13 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.
Download or read book Protest and Democracy written by Moises Arce and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2011, political protests sprang up across the world. In the Middle East, Europe, Latin America, the United States unlikely people sparked or led massive protest campaigns from the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street. These protests were made up of educated and precariously employed young people who challenged the legitimacy of their political leaders, exposed a failure of representation, and expressed their dissatisfaction with their place in the aftermath of financial and economic crisis. This book interrogates what impacts--if any--this global protest cycle had on politics and policy and shows the sometimes unintended ways it continues to influence contemporary political dynamics throughout the world. Proposing a new framework of analysis that calls attention to the content and claims of protests, their global connections, and the responsiveness of political institutions to protest demands, this is one of the few books that not only asks how protest movements are formed but also provides an in-depth examination of what protest movements can accomplish. With contributions examining the political consequences of protest, the roles of social media and the internet in protest organization, left- and right-wing movements in the United States, Chile's student movements, the Arab Uprisings, and much more this collection is essential reading for all those interested in the power of protest to shape our world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America''s most renowned social philosopher John Dewey shines his powerful intellect on the serious public and cultural issues surrounding the place of the individual in a technologically advanced society. In this penetrating study, he addresses the fear that personal creative potential will be trampled by assembly-line monotony, political bureaucracy, and an industrialized culture of uniformity. Armed with his pragmatic approach and his belief in the power of critical intelligence, Dewey argues that individualism has in fact been offered a uniquely higher plane of technological development upon which to grow, mature, and redefine itself.

Download or read book Critique of Latin American Reason written by Santiago Castro-Gómez and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critique of Latin American Reason is one of the most important philosophical texts to have come out of South America in recent decades. First published in 1996, it offers a sweeping critique of the foundational schools of thought in Latin American philosophy and critical theory. Santiago Castro-Gómez argues that “Latin America” is not so much a geographical entity, a culture, or a place, but rather an object of knowledge produced by a family of discourses in the humanities that are inseparably linked to colonial power relationships. Using the archaeological and genealogical methods of Michel Foucault, he analyzes the political, literary, and philosophical discourses and modes of power that have contributed to the making of “Latin America.” Castro-Gómez examines the views of a wide range of Latin American thinkers on modernity, postmodernity, identity, colonial history, and literature, also considering how these questions have intersected with popular culture. His critique spans Central and South America, and it also implicates broader and protracted global processes. This book presents this groundbreaking work of contemporary critical theory in English translation for the first time. It features a foreword by Linda Martín Alcoff, a new preface by the author, and an introduction by Eduardo Mendieta situating Castro-Gómez’s thought in the context of critical theory in Latin America and the Global South. Two appendixes feature an interview with Castro-Gómez that sheds light on the book’s composition and short provocations responding to each chapter from a multidisciplinary forum of contemporary scholars who resituate the work within a range of perspectives including feminist, Francophone African, and decolonial Black political thought.

Through an innovative combination of manuscript, catalogue and digital multi-media formats, it aims to embody the principles of performance and screen practice-as-research in its structure and design – making book pages and DVD images mutually illuminating. With over fifty practitioner-researcher contributors, Practice-as-Research constitutes the most comprehensive presentation of this sometimes controversial and frequently fresh way of doing things with an imaginative convergence of artistic and scholarly processes.

Download or read book A Dialogue Between a Philosopher and a Student of the Common Laws of England written by Thomas Hobbes and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1997-05 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This little-known late writing of Hobbes reveals an unexplored dimension of his famous doctrine of sovereignty. The essay was first published posthumously in 1681, and from 1840 to 1971 only a generally unreliable edition has been in print. This edition provides the first dependable and easily accessible text of Hobbes's Dialogue. In the Dialogue, Hobbes sets forth his mature reflections of the relation between reason and law, reflections more "liberal" than those found in Leviathan and his other well-known writings. Hobbes proposes a separation of the functions of government in the interest of common sense and humaneness without visibly violating his dictum that the sharing or division of sovereignty is an absurdity. This new edition of the Dialogue is a significant contribution to our understanding of seventeenth-century political philosophy. "Hobbes students are indebted to Professor Cropsey for this scholarly and accessible edition of Dialogue."—J. Roland Pennock, American Political Science Review "An invaluable aid to the study of Hobbes."—Review of Metaphysics
