En las primeras tres entregas de Tiempo de Revueltas, el especialista retoma textos ensayísticos del autor que han sufrido cierto desinterés por parte de la crítica y los pone en diálogo, incluso en ...franca confrontación, con las escrituras de Daniel Cosío Villegas, Ricardo Flores Magón y Pablo Neruda. El trabajo de investigación de este volumen ya no recae en un mecanismo dialógico entre el autor de Dormir en tierra y otro escritor. En su lugar, el ejercicio crítico da paso al rescate de sus textos de nota roja y el análisis de su figura como autor de dicho género periodístico.
This article focuses on the first treatise of Nietzsche’s On the Genealogy of Morals, regarding the historical origins of the noble and slave morality, and proposes the intrinsic possession or lack ...of power as a key notion to understand these origins. Given the significance that Nietzsche ascribed to the Ancient world, the notion of power will be elucidated through a comparison with some selected texts by Heraclitus and Plato. The first part deals with intrinsic power as the primary source of the noble morality, its consequences with regards to the notion of good and the image human beings have of themselves and their place in the world. The second part presents powerlessness as the root of all moral resentment, i.e. of the slave morality, focusing on Plato’s conception of the ἰδέαι, as well as his definition of being as the power (δύναμις) to perform an action or to be acted upon. The third part synthesizes the previous sections and shows the relation between the noble and slave morality regarding both power and cruelty, i.e. their own account of what good and evil are.
In this article, the authors consider several issues of the axiological interpretation of law and provides the profound analysis of the correlation between law and morality. The author also ...particularizes a number of factors that have an influence on the genesis and development of law, i.e., the historical development of society, the sociocultural factor, the socioeconomic factor and the class structure of society. In general, from the author’s point of view, studying the axiological aspects of law, will help in overcoming the crisis of legal education.
This paper investigates Borzuya, the physician’s and Hick’s viewpoints in the problem of diversity of religions and coexistence of followers of religions in a comparative method. The method is to ...compare data obtained by documentary analysis and reviewing accessible works and historic documentaries about Borzuya and works of Hick on his viewpoints in the problem of diversity of religions and pluralism. Borzuya’s common ground with Hick is in negation of exclusivism and inclusivism, thinking in contrast to unbelieving and his attention to morality as abstract of all religions, but he disagrees him in quiddity of real religion and savior religion. Results show that followers of religions can understand each other by morality and gain a coexistence.
This paper intends to analyze the evolutionary metaethical discussion that revolves around the evolutionist thesis about the origin of evaluative judgments and the possibility of there being ...objective moral values. Sharon Street (2006) presented what became known as the Darwinian dilemma for moral realism. Moral realists, represented by David Copp, did not take long to reply. I will resume this debate and offer an alternative to the dilemma and the problems brought up by both philosophers through procedural constructivism.
The authors consider the phenomenon of transformation of methodological strategies of social cognition, which in theory reflects the grounds of self-preservation and self-replication of social and ...anthropological reality. The article underlines that at present time social cognition tools are going through a renewal that is dynamic and subject to theoretical and methodological changes. The emphasis is shifting from research of the general social level toward individuality, subjectivity, spontaneity and cultural uniqueness of fractals of social existence. They observe the danger in creation of social reality, if it is not guided by organic unity of knowledge and morality. From our point of view, morality is a systemic factor of social reality, because as high as social barriers in modern world may be, universal values do exist and preserve and they are exactly the things that give human society an opportunity to survive on a global scale.
The infamous lines delivered by the three witches in the opening scene of Shakespeare’s Macbeth establish the atmosphere of the entire play, an atmosphere which may be literal or metaphorical. The ...witches prophesize the contagious air to come. They begin by confusing “fair,” possibly related to eloquence or sound, with “foul,” defined by the OED “as a disease, or person affected by disease; Loathsome. . . ‘full of gross humors’ (Johnson),” “tainted with disease,” or in another early modern definition, a pathology “of the tongue” (OED). They then place themselves in the “filthy air,” demonstrating their ability to move through a “foul” and “fair” environment both in the play and in the political landscape of Scotland, a connection suggested by the rhyming couplet. As they eventually “vanish into air,” their prophecy circulates throughout the air, its unseen force manifested through Macbeth’s ambitious actions. To read these lines ecomaterially calls attention to the miasmic air of the play. These lines encapsulate one running theme of the play: the dualism of terms signifying morality and contagious air. The play’s formal elements echo this theme of turning morality upside down as ecologically metaphorized by birds flipping in mid-flight and horses turning violent and cannibalistic after Duncan’s murder “as they would / Make war with mankind” (2.4.17-18).1

This paper’s aim is to explore the moral topics raised in the TV series “Star Trek: The Next Generation” Season 2 Episode 9 entitled “Measure of Man”. In this episode Commander Data, an Android, is ...put on trial to determine if can be considered human, or if he has the same rights as a human being. This paper discusses ethical issues raised by this trial. Picard’s argument in defence of Data appeals to epistemological doubts about whether or not Data is sentient. But this paper will take an alternative approach. It will show how inanimate objects can also possess a value which demand ethical obligations from sentient beings. It will also show how the trial reflects back on human morality and the measure of man refers less to the audience and more to the human beings conducting and observing the trial.
El objetivo de esta contribución es mostrar la teoría de la justicia del dominico Pedro de Ledesma (1544-1616), de forma expositiva y siguiendo paso a paso las ideas contenidas en las páginas de una ...de sus obras más importantes, la Suma Moral (Salamanca, 1598). En esta contribución se verá cómo el dominico trata el concepto de justicia y, al mismo tiempo, cómo atribuye a la acción moral la dependencia de ese concepto. Para ello se tendrán en cuenta algunos apartados de los tratados quinto, sexto, séptimo y octavo de la segunda parte de la Suma, que tratan respectivamente de la justicia, de la justicia legal, de la justicia distributiva y de la justicia conmutativa..
