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.

Download or read book Freedom and Existence written by Matthew Aaron Tennant and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-08-07 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is theology a dead corpse or living organism? For Uruguayan Jesuit Juan Luis Segundo (1925-1996), theology is dynamic. Freedom and existence for central themes. Segundo believed that theology should be transformative in human lives. For a theology to be transformative, there must be a connection to existence. That is, it must be existential. Yet most scholars have overlooked this assumption in critical analyses of liberation theology. This prima facie connection to existence is distinguishable from existentialism as a school of philosophy. By showing the significant existential dimension to Segundo's theology, assessing his work and contribution to twentieth-century theology relates to freedom, ecumenism, the role of faith in society, and the relationship between faith and ideologies.

These allow the reader to set the individual biographies in the context of the philosophical history of the period. With entries written by over 100 leading philosophy scholars, the Biographical Dictionary is the most comprehensive survey of twentieth-century thinkers to date.

Each entry is identically structured for ease of access and covers: * nationality * dates and places of birth and death * philosophical style or school * areas of interest * higher education * significant influences * main appointments * main publications * secondary literature * account of intellectual development and main ideas * critical reception and impact At the end of the book a glossary gives accounts of the schools, movements and traditions to which these philosophers belonged, and thorough indexes enable the reader to access the information in several ways: * by nationality * by major areas of contribution to philosophy e.g. aesthetics * by major influences on the thinker concerned e.g. Plato, Kant, Wittgenstein

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 excerpt: Si existe una presencia inolvidable en el teatro filosófico y político del siglo XX es la de J.P. Sartre. Pero si su presencia es fundamental no es porque propusiera ofertas filosóficas o políticas certeras. La seducción que provoca su obra es debida, sobre todo - como se ilustra en este texto-, a la pasión intelectual que la anima. Pasión por fundamentar la realización de la libertad individual y social. Sin embargo, la aventura sartreana es la historia de un extraño fracaso. Desde el primario nietzscheanismo -subrayado por Louette o Lévy- hasta la apuesta final por la potencia de lo imaginario, la aventura de Sartre es limitada por la pretensión de concertar libertad y proyecto colectivo. No hay escritor en el siglo XX que asumiera con semejante esfuerzo el reto de nuestra contemporaneidad

Download or read book The Contestation of Patriarchy in Luis Mart n Santos Work written by Miquel Bota and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-10 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes that Spanish author Luis Martín-Santos’ work focuses on the effects of patriarchy and hegemonic masculinity on men, to actively contribute to freeing both men and women from the yoke of patriarchy. It aims for a new resonance of Luis Martín-Santos. It analyzes the influence of Heidegger, Freud and Sartre in Martín-Santos’ psychiatric essays and his fictional works: the novel Tiempo de silencio (Time of Silence), the collection of short stories Apólogos, and the posthumous fragment Tiempo de destrucción (Time of Destruction). It demonstrates that alongside the political critique of Franco’s dictatorship, Martín-Santos’ creative writings are an attempt to destroy the prevalent masculine myths of Western patriarchy, and a proposal to create new myths for the future.

This book was released on 2018-06-04 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El origen de este volumen es un simposio organizado en Mayo de 2015 por el Instituto Cultura y Sociedad (ICS) de la Universidad de Navarra. El enfoque de este simposio era muy amplio, como se refleja en las contribuciones que se presentan en este volumen, las cuales abordan temas tan diversos como las conexiones entre la ética material de los valores de inspiración fenomenológica y la idea de Derecho natural, la distinción esfera de lo jurídico/esfera de lo moral, las críticas a la consideración de los derechos humanos como fundados en la ley natural, los motivos por los que tenemos ciertos hechos y deberes como consecuencia de actos sociales, el sentido y significado del término libertad cuando este es empleado en el marco del Derecho penal, o el examen de ciertas concepciones que pretenden reducir la Filosofía del Derecho a una serie de cuestiones psicológicas, sociales o históricas cuando, en realidad, ésta depende de una discusión sobre cuestiones de principios y no de una mera comprobación de hechos. Sin embargo, a pesar de la diversidad de los trabajos que conforman este volumen, puede decirse que son dos los aspectos fundamentales que éstos comparten: por un lado, la necesidad de fomentar el diálogo entre disciplinas diferentes como la Filosofía y el Derecho en torno a una cuestión central, a saber, la existencia de elementos pre-positivos, anteriores a toda legislación positiva y, por otro lado, la convicción de que estos elementos tienen una inteligibilidad propia. *** Der Ursprung des vorliegenden Bandes ist ein im Mai 2015 vom Instituto Cultura y Sociedad der Universität von Navarra veranstaltetes Symposium. Wie die verschiedenen Beiträge zeigen, war die Bandbreite des Symposiums sehr weit gefasst. So wurden Themen behandelt wie die Zusammenhänge zwischen der phänomenologischen materialen Wertethik und der Idee des Naturrechts, die Unterscheidung zwischen der sittlichen und der rechtlichen Sphäre, die Kritik an denjenigen Theorien, die die Menschenrechte im Naturrecht verorten, die Motive, die uns dazu veranlassen, gewisse Tatsachen und Pflichten als Folgen sozialer Akte zu betrachten, der Sinn des Wortes „Freiheit“ im Rahmen des Strafrechts oder die kritische Prüfung derjenigen Auffassungen, die die Rechtsphilosophie auf eine Reihe von psychologischer, sozialer bzw. historischer Fragen zu reduzieren versuchen, wenn sie in Wahrheit auf einer Diskussion über Grundsatzfragen und nicht auf reiner Tatsachenüberprüfung beruht. Trotz ihrer Vielfalt haben alle Beiträge zwei Aspekte gemeinsam: einerseits teilen sie die Überzeugung der Notwendigkeit eines Dialogs zwischen so verschiedenen Disziplinen wie der Philosophie und dem Recht, um die zentrale Frage nach dem Bestehen von vor-positiven Elementen des Rechts aufzuklären, die jeder positiven Gesetzgebung vorangehen; andererseits sind sie der Überzeugung, dass solche Elemente ihre eigene Verständlichkeit haben. This volume contains the proceedings of a conference organized in May 2015 by the Instituto Cultura y Sociedad (University of Navarra). The scope of this conference was very wide as is proved by the variety of the contributions. They deal with such topics as the relationships between material value ethics and the idea of natural law, the distinction between the moral sphere and the sphere of law, the criticisms of those theories which ground human rights in natural law, the motives which lead us to consider certain facts and duties as consequences of social acts, the meaning of “freedom” in criminal law or the critical exam of such views which try to reduce the Philosophy of Law to some psychological, social or historical questions. However, despite their diversity, the contributions share two elements: on the one hand, the emphasis of the necessity of a dialogue between such different disciplines as Philosophy and Law focusing on a central question, namely, the existence of pre-positive elements, prior to every positive legislation and, on the other hand, the conviction that such elements have an own intelligibility.
