Precariousness is a concept which fundamentally refers to a lack of means. Thereafter, its nature is protean: it appears in multifarious aspects. But all of them share concepts such as scarcity, weakness, frailty, or vulnerability. At the political level, if we talk about democracy, or about the crisis of democracy, it would also be necessary to uncover, from its root, a process of progressive precarization of political life, with huge consequences for citizenry. My view is that these problems would, in (...) turn, stem from a deeper cause, which could be summarized under the following formula: democracy without citizens. (shrink)

En nuestro ensayo proponemos estudiar la importancia de no sucumbir al desánimo moral, tanto en la filosofía de Kant como en la de Aranguren. En este sentido, el pensamiento de Kant sobre la esperanza -su filosofía moral y de la historia- nos permitirá comprender las razones por las que cabe hablar, en la filosofía de Aranguren, de un _giro hacia Kant_. La esperanza en un futuro mejor se convertirá, para ambos, en la clave de bóveda del compromiso moral. Analizar cómo (...) Aranguren y Kant se enfrentan a la desmoralización, y sus implicaciones filosóficas, constituye el objeto principal de nuestro trabajo. (shrink)
