Download or read book By Being It Is written by Nestor Luis Cordero and published by Parmenides Publishing. This book was released on 2004-05-10 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In By Being, It Is, Nestor-Luis Cordero explores the richness of this Parmenidean thesis, which became the cornerstone of philosophy. Cordero''s textual analysis of the poem''s fragments reveals that Parmenides'' intention was highly didactic. His poem applied, for the first time, an explicative method that deduced consequences from a true axiom: by being, it is. To ignore this reality meant to be a victim of opinions. This volume explains how without this conceptual base, all later ontology would have been impossible. This book offers a clear and concise introduction to the Parmenidean doctrine and helps the reader appreciate the imperative value of Parmenides''s claim that "e;by being, it is."e;

This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "La educación en la filosofía antigua. Ética, retórica y arte en la formación del ciudadano" reúne once capítulos escritos por destacados investigadores latinoamericanos, quienes desde distintas perspectivas reflexionan sobre el papel que estas nociones ocupan en el pensamiento antiguo. Más allá de las diferentes perspectivas e interpretaciones que proponen cada uno de los estudiosos, advertimos que hay una idea común que es recurrente en la mayoría de los capítulos. En efecto, un recorrido transversal por los trabajos aquí reunidos muestra que la educación es una de las principales preocupaciones de los filósofos antiguos, que es plantea da de manera expresa en varios de los capítulos, mientras que en otros es una cuestión subyacente. El trayecto histórico-conceptual mediante el cual proponemos recorrerla obra y que ha dado lugar al título, pone de manifiesto que la ética, la retórica y el arte son conceptos claves para dar respuesta a la pregunta sobre cómo educar al ciudadano y, que, a su vez, esta es la cuestión en torno a la cual se constituyen los cimientos del pensamiento ético-político antiguo. Seguramente, los lectores encontrarán otras ideas, nociones y focos temáticos que les permitirán transitar este volumen colectivo de múltiples maneras. Nuestro propósito a través del libro es dar a conocer algunas de las valiosas investigaciones realizadas en Latinoamérica sobre estos temas centrales de la filosofía antigua, revelando la riqueza de la literatura académica en español no solo al lector erudito, sino también a un público más amplio.

Download or read book Reading Aristotle written by William Wians and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-07-31 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading Aristotle: Argument and Exposition argues that Aristotle’s treatises must be approached as progressive unfoldings of a unified position that may extend over a single book, an entire treatise, or across several works. Contributors demonstrate that Aristotle relies on both explanatory and expository principles. Explanatory principles include familiar doctrines such as the four causes, actuality’s priority over potentiality and nature’s doing nothing in vain. Expository principles are at least as important. They pertain to proper sequence, pedagogical method, the role of reputable views and the opinions of predecessors, the equivocity of key explanatory terms, and the need to scrupulously observe distinctions between the different sciences. A sensitivity to expository principles is crucial to understanding both particular arguments and entire treatises.
Download or read book Mi vida con los santos written by James Martin and published by Loyola Press. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Para el padre James Martin, SJ los Santos ¡son mucho más que estatuas de yeso, son amigos personales! En Mi vida con los Santos James Martin nos presenta una conmovedora experiencia respect a su relación con los Santos –desde María, la madre de Jesús, hasta San Francisco o la Madre Teresa− y la manera personal en la que ha side dirigido por los heroes de la Iglesia a lo largo de toda su vida. El padre James nos presenta vívidos y encantadores relatos de los Santos más populares, permitiéndonos ver no solo su santidad, sino su humanidad. A partir de esta experiencia descubrimos la llamada y posibilidad de vivir la santidad en nuestra propia humanidad. James Martin has led an entirely modern life: from a lukewarm Catholic childhood, to an education at the Wharton School of Business, to the executive fast track at General Electric, to ministry as a Jesuit priest, to a busy media career in Manhattan. But at every step he has been accompanied by some surprising friends—the saints of the Catholic Church. For many, these holy men and women remain just historical figures. For Martin, they are intimate companions. “They pray for me, offer me comfort, give me examples of discipleship, and help me along the way,” he writes. The author is both engaging and specific about the help and companionship he has received. When his pride proves troublesome, he seeks help from Thomas Merton, the monk and writer who struggled with egotism. In sickness he turns to Thérèse of Lisieux, who knew about the boredom and self-pity that come with illness. Joan of Arc shores up his flagging courage. Aloysius Gonzaga deepens his compassion. Pope John XXIII helps him to laugh and not take life too seriously. Martin’s inspiring, witty, and always fascinating memoir encompasses saints from the whole of Christian history— from St. Peter to Dorothy Day. His saintly friends include Francis of Assisi, Ignatius of Loyola, Mother Teresa, and other beloved figures. They accompany the author on a lifelong pilgrimage that includes stops in a sunlit square of a French town, a quiet retreat house on a New England beach, the gritty housing projects of inner-city Chicago, the sprawling slums of Nairobi, and a gorgeous Baroque church in Rome. This rich, vibrant, stirring narrative shows how the saints can help all of us find our way in the world.

Download or read book Overarching Greek Trends in European Philosophy written by Marco Antonio Coronel Ramos and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2021-08-16 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an enquiry into memory in the Western world. Specifically, memory is the framework of culture, because it links the present to the past - or tradition - and projects it into the future. For this reason, any work focusing on memory involves a double challenge: (1) to reveal the origin of concepts and (2) to glimpse the course of thoughts. This is the case of the present volume, in which the authors make several tastings of Europe's intellectual heritage, by taking into account both the Greek origin of this legacy and its relevance for understanding the European philosophical heritage. In particular, these papers focus on the Aristotelian tradition, the true keystone of Europe, and on other currents of thought that have also played an essential role in the intellectual evolution of the Old Continent. In the latter field, there are contributions, for instance, on philosophical-religious traditions such as Orphism or on certain fundamental aspects of Neoplatonism both in the Classical World and in Christian authors. The volume concludes with various works on the survival of these intellectual trends from the Renaissance to the present day. Consequently, this work offers the opportunity to delve deeper into some of the aspects that define Western civilisation, observed both from its origin and its evolution over the centuries. The volume contains papers in Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and English. Este libro es una indagación en la memoria del mundo occidental. Específicamente, la memoria es el armazón de la cultura, porque liga el presente al pasado —o tradición— y lo proyecta al futuro. Por ello, toda obra centrada en la memoria entraña un doble reto: (1) revelar el origen de los conceptos y (2) atisbar el rumbo de los pensamientos. Este es el caso del presente volumen, en el que realizan diversas catas en el patrimonio intelectual europeo. Lo hace teniendo en cuenta tanto el origen griego de ese legado como su relevancia para comprender el acervo filosófico europeo. En concreto, se centra en la tradición aristótelica, verdadera clave de bóveda de Europa, y en otras corrientes de pensamiento que también han jugado un papel esencial en la evolución intelectual del viejo continente. En éste último ámbito hay contribuciones, por ejemplo, sobre tradiciones filosófico-religiosas como el orfismo o sobre determinados aspectos fundamentales del neoplatonismo en el mundo clásico y en autores cristianos. Concluye el volumen con diversos trabajos sobre la pervivencia de esas tendencias intelectuales desde el renacimiento hasta nuestros días. En consecuencia, esta obra ofrece la oportunidad de profundizar en algunos aspectos que definen nuestra civilización, observados tanto desde su origen como desde su evolución a lo largo de los siglos.

Download or read book Historia de la filosof a antigua written by Carlos García Gual and published by Editorial CSIC - CSIC Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En el principio eran los griegos. No podía plantearse una enciclopedia de filosofía sin atender a la filosofía antigua y, dentro de ella, a la griega. Fueron los jónicos, en el siglo VI a.C., los que no se contentaron, a la hora de preguntarse por las cosas de la vida, con explicaciones míticas. Querían razones. Así se produjo el paso del mito al logos. Este volumen ofrece una síntesis del momento matinal de la filosofía, que abarca ocho siglos. Comienza preguntándose por qué ahí, en Jonia, por qué nombres como Tales de Mileto, inauguran la historia del pensar filosófico. Se nos dirá que porque ahí se da una democratización del saber y de la palabra y la difusión de la escritura. Eso convierte a Grecia en un lugar privilegiado para la reflexión crítica, en el marco de una cultura ilustrada y muy atenta a los conocimientos culturales que venían de Oriente. Así aparece el 'philosophos' que desplaza al 'sophos' como maestro de la verdad. Ese especimen humano, una vez nacido, no ha dejado de desarrollarse. Pero hasta para eso tiene que visitar una y otra vez Grecia. No hay que olvidar que para reconstruir ese momento originario de la filosofía sólo nos quedan –salvo excepciones– fragmentos. Eso quiere decir que la interpretación es fundamental. Pues bien, el lector verá que, gracias a la agudeza interpretativa, hemos podido rectificar prejuicios y tomarnos en serio a los cínicos, epicureos o escépticos. El carácter sintético del libro da la mano a una voluntad innovadora. Una visión, pues, panorámica de la filosofía griega en sus tres fases clásicas: la preplatónica, la de Platón y Aristóteles y la de las escuelas posteriores del helenismo y el Imperio romano.
Download or read book Cine 100 a os de filosof a written by Julio Cabrera and published by Editorial GEDISA. This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Julio Cabrera aúna en este libro sus dos grandes pasiones: el cine y la filosofía. En cada capítulo de este libro Cabrera analiza una o más películas elegidas cuidadosamente para reflexionar sobre una cuestión filosófica central. Aristóteles y los ladrones de bicicletas; Bacon y Steven Spielberg; Descartes y los fotógrafos indiscretos, Schopenhauer, Buñuel y Frank Capra; Nietzsche, Clint Eastwood y los asesinos por naturaleza; o Wittgenstein y el cine mudo son algunos de los ejercicios filocinematrográficos propuestos. Los comentarios de películas que el lector encontrará destacan aquellos puntos del filme que deben contribuir a la instauración de la experiencia vivida de un problema filosófico. Esta experiencia en sí es insustituible y nadie podrá tenerla por uno. Tan sólo señalo los lugares en donde el filme duele, en donde puede aprenderse alguna cosa padeciéndolo. Estamos ante el encuentro no programado y mutuamente esclarecedor entre una actividad milenaria del ser humano y uno de los más fascinantes lenguajes emergentes de los últimos tiempos: 100 años de imágenes tratando de representar 2.500 años de reflexión
