- L'evolució filosòfica de Josep Lluís Blasco.(2005) Sierra Labrado, XavierIn this paper Josep Lluís Blasco¿s philosophical evolution is expounded. If we leave aside an initial tentative period, during which he studied Whitehead¿s and Heidegger¿s metaphysics, Marxism, and analytical philosophy, we can clearly distinguish in it two periods. In the first one, till 1975, he assumed the presuppositions of analytical philosophy of ordinary language, and proceeded with the idea of improving its method, particularly categorical analysis. In the second one, from 1979 on, although still connected to the analytical tradition, he did not join any trend or school, and started his reflection on transcendentality. With this line, presented as an alternative way to Quine¿s naturalized epistemology, Blasco thought that it was possible to find an answer to the epistemic status of philosophy.
- La pau mundial en el pensament de Kant(2005) Cabedo Manuel, SalvadorFew people have left such an important and impressive mark on the development of Western thought as the philosopher Immanuel Kant, the bicentennial of whose death has been just celebrated. Through his writings and reflections, the Königsberg professor established the ethical and political foundations of a society which, moving away from any kind of despotic absolutism, needed to find a rational explanation for the contemporary world. His writings on the reflection and construction of peace brilliantly expounded his teachings on the pacific coexistence both between peoples and free States.
- Disolución política de la teología: Comentarios al Libro de Job(2005) Maureira Pacheco, MaxThis article proposes a political reading of the Book of Job. This biblical text emblematically describes the dialectic of protection-obedience. In political terms, with the modern political construction of the State (Hobbes), it is transformed. To the degree that this dialectic is secularized, the original theological components are dissolved. The exposition of this dissolution in the Christian and Jewish traditions is at the centre of this article. In the end it is shown that the political dissolution hides the original dialectic in the form of myth.
- Antropologia del jo audiovisual: Una aproximació filosòfica(2005) Gozálvez Pérez, Vicent
- La hermenéutica materialista(2005) Sevilla Segura, SergioAdorno formulates for the first time the program of the Critical Theory as ¿materialistic hermeneutics¿. After the ¿hermeneutical turn¿ of philosophy in the second half of the twentieth century, this paper tries to establish the profiles of Adorno¿s hermeneutics. As a critique of semantic idealism and of all idealisms, that hermeneutics fixes a new statute for philosophy after Hegel, in a critical dialogue with the sciences, with Nietzsche¿s ¿genealogy¿, with Freud¿s ¿unconsciousness¿, and with an important restatement of Marx¿s eleventh thesis on Feuerbach.
- Bases biológicas de la ética de Popper:entre el iusnaturalismo y el positivismo(2005) Muñoz Ferriol, AmparoThe biological bases of Popper¿s Ethics are expounded in this article. But these biological bases do not place Popper¿s thought in the sphere of iusnaturalism, because normative laws are made and can be changed by men. This conventionalism does not set the philosophy of Karl Popper either in the context of ethical positivism or juridical positivism. Popper proposes an alternating way between iusnaturalism and positivism.
- ¿Violencia o poder en la constitución de la filosofía moderna?.(2005) Leyte Coello, ArturoThe ambiguity of ¿violence¿ and ¿power¿ will be interpreted as meaning that vertebrates the modern political Estate, whether in its constituent role in Machiavelli, Hobbes and Spinoza, or whether in its double critical role: of the Machine-Estate in the setting of early Idealism (Hölderlin, Schelling and Hegel) or of Law, starting from the existential claim to violence (C. Schmitt and W. Benjamin).
- De la felicidad mínima a la plena felicidad(2005) Lisón Buendía, Juan FranciscoMen prosecute happiness; we are born to be happy. But, what is happiness? There is no universally accepted answer. The purpose of this study is two-faced: 1st. To justify that there are certain minimum elements in every form of happiness; 2nd. That different historical, sociological, anthropological...reasons support the rational and reasonable defence of different objective models of happiness. As a proof, two different models (the Christian and the lay models of happiness) are described. We conclude that full happiness is a utopia, and advance as an adequate model the rational and reasonable employ of the ¿carpe diem¿ maxim.
- La irrealidad como realidad virtual en la tradición filosófica española (de Unamuno y Ortega a Zubiri y Marías)(2005) Conill Sancho, JesúsThe aim of this contribution is first to show that the concept of ¿irreality¿ in the Spanish tradition of philosophy (Unamuno, Ortega and Zubiri, Marías) is similar to the current notion of ¿virtual reality¿; and also to highlight its most important contributions to an integral theory of experience and imagination.
- Filosofía de la ciencia e historia de la ciencia(2005) Iranzo, ValerianoThe paper analyzes which is the proper role of history of science in philosophy of science. I argue that, traditionally, philosophy of science has focused on the normative dimension of science. Several positions within philosophy of science stem from different perspectives on such dimension. I classify them according to two variables (descriptivism/prescriptivism, and historicism/non-historicism). Then I discuss the role of history of science within all these four alternatives. I conclude that: (1) philosophers and historians pursue not only different, but opposite aims; (2) historical evidence is useful for assessing the relation between methods and results; besides this, only very simple or radical philosophical views can be ¿refuted¿ by historical evidence; (3) the disagreement between those who think that history of science is necessary for philosophy of science and those who think it is not is, in fact, a disagreement about the prospects for a general theory of science; (4) such disagreement cannot be resolved appealing to historical evidence; if it can be resolved, philosophical arguments should somehow be invoked.
- La ontología de la proposición en el Russell de "The Principles of Mathematics" y los artículos de Meinong(2005) Sauri Mercader, FranciscoBertrand Russell, in The Principles of Mathematics and ¿Meinong¿s Theory of Complexes and Assumptions¿, maintains a unitary conception of the ontology of propositions. He makes a difference between judgment and proposition. Propositions are independent entities and they have different presentations. False propositions subsist; this is related to the relation in the proposition called ¿affirmation¿ and the double condition of predicates (meaning and term). But that conception has bad consequences for the unity and identity of proposition.
- El concepto de lenguaje universal(2005) Martínez Fernández, JoséThe aim of the paper is to differentiate three different notions of universality (ontologic, semantic and weak universality) and to discuss some well-known results that show that there exist no universal languages, due to the semantical paradoxes.
