In this paper, I aim to show the importance of transferring metaphors from our aesthetic experiences to social praxis. I will therefore focus on reverberation, a phenomenon in the perceptual field of sound, to argue that it offers a deep understanding of social experiences. Reverberation is a secondary concept in Paul Ricœur's hermeneutic phenomenology, but it plays a crucial role in his analysis of imagination. Firstly, I will examine Ricœur's analysis of the phenomenon of reverberation within the framework of his (...) phenomenology of imagination. Secondly, I will read Ricœur's reference to G. Bachelard, considering the reverberation in the poetic image. Thirdly, I will study his reference to E. Minkowski, who thinks about reverberation within a cosmological scope. Finally, based on these analyses, I will outline the transfer of the phenomenon of reverberation to the field of social praxis. (shrink)

En la Crítica de la razón práctica, I. Kant dice: “Dos cosas llenan el ánimo de admiración y respeto, siempre nuevos y crecientes cuanto con más frecuencia y aplicación se ocupa de ellas la reflexión: el cielo estrellado sobre mí y la ley moral en mí”. En su último libro, Julia Iribarne utiliza esta frase para describir el fin de su propio camino: la creencia en el sentido del Todo de la vida. Con la misma convicción de que ésa es (...) la única vía que puede rescatar el sentido de la propia vida, este trabajo hace una lectura de su último libro bajo el horizonte esbozado por la pregunta, ¿qué escribe un filósofo al final de su vida?In the Critique of Practical Reason, I. Kant states: “Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the more often and steadily we reflect upon them: the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me.” In her last book, Julia Iribarne uses the same sentence to describe the goal of the course she has followed: the belief in the meaning of the totality of life. With the same conviction that this is the only way in which the meaning of life itself can be disclosed, this paper advances a reading for her latest book within the horizon outlined by the question: what does a philosopher write at the end of her life?

ResumenEl programa del siguiente estudio es esclarecer la eficacia histórica que la fenomenología de la conciencia del tiempo de Husserl tiene sobre la hermenéutica filosófica de Hans-Georg Gadamer; herencia que Gadamer mismo reconoce cuando afirma «que una clara línea conduce desde el concepto de síntesis pasiva y la teoría de la intencionalidad anónima a la experiencia hermenéutica […]».1Palabras claveFenomenología, hermenéutica, conciencia, tiempo.AbstractThe plan of this study is to clarify the historical efficacy of Husserl’s phenomenology of time consciousness in the philosophical (...) hermeneutics of Hans-Georg Gadamer. Gadamer himself accepts this legacy when he says that «a clear line leads from the concept of passive synthesis and the theory of anonymous intentionality to the hermeneutic experience […]».KeywordsPhenomenology, hermeneutic, conscience, time.

ResumenSegún la hermenéutica filosófica nuestra pertenencia a la historia y al lenguaje determina paradójicamente nuestra indisponibilidad sobre ellos en tanto les pertenecemos más de lo que ellos nos pertenecen. A partir de este principio, la famosa expresión de Gadamer «el ser que puede ser comprendido es lenguaje» ha generado las más diversas interpretaciones en torno a la estructura ontológica que sostiene su propuesta hermenéutica. Comprender la productividad de esta máxima significa enfrentar el conflicto que tensiona el suelo que nos sostiene (...) entre el lenguaje del entender y el lenguaje de las cosas, y proyectar la resultante sobre la estructura del ser histórico.Palabras claveHermenéutica, lenguaje, historia, ontologíaAbstractAccording to philosophical hermeneutics our belonging to history and language determines our paradoxical unavailability over them as we belong to them more than they belong to us. Based on this principle, Gadamer’s famous expression «being that can be understood is language» has raised the most diverse interpretations about the ontological structure that supports the hermeneutical proposal.

En sus análisis sobre la interioridad de la palabra en la hermenéutica de H. G. Gadamer, Jean Grondin afirma que su hermenéutica del vouloir-dire puede comprenderse como una "fenomenología de lo inaparente”. La afirmación deja establecido un vínculo entre la propuesta de Gadamer y esa polémica expresión que Heidegger usó para describir el sentido originario de la fenomenología. Hoy la fenomenología de lo inaparente se ha convertido en su motor a través del debate francés sobre el giro teológico. El objetivo (...) de este trabajo es examinar hasta qué punto esa formulación puede ser también motor de la hermenéutica de Gadamer. Para ello, se examinarán las condiciones de posibilidad e imposibilidad de tal acercamiento. (shrink)

La programática del siguiente trabajo es esclarecer la herencia que la hermenéutica filosófica de H.-G. Gadamer recibe de la teoría fenomenológica de la conciencia del tiempo; herencia que Gadamer mismo reconoce cuando afirma “que una clara línea conduce desde el concepto de síntesis pasiva y la teoría de la intencionalidad anónima a la experiencia hermenéutica […]” [GW 2, 16]. A partir de la explicitación de algunos aportes generales y más conocidos de la fenomenología a la propuesta de Gadamer (punto I), (...) se desarrollarán las cuestiones de la teoría de la conciencia del tiempo que constituyen una contribución silenciosa a su pensamiento (punto II). Finalmente, se delinearán algunos posibles complementos hermenéuticos a la teoría fenomenológica desarrollada por Husserl (punto III). (shrink)

During the 90s of the twentieth century, Paul Ricoeur designated his view concerning the metaphysical issue of God as philosophical agnosticism. He thought that feature to be the hallmark of his entire work. However, in his Memoirs of Youth [Méthode réflexive appliquée au problème de Dieu chez Lachelier et Lagneau], which he wrote during his twenties, Ricouer developed a philosophy that named God and that made it a metaphysical issue. This memoir remained unpublished until 2017. Faced with his self-proclaimed philosophical (...) agnosticism, this work raises some questions. If the early Ricoeur was interested in applying the method of reflexive philosophy to the issue of God, why this early work remained unpublished? Was it published just because it contradicts the hallmark of his entire work? The purpose of the article is to shed light on the origin of this memoir, which seems strange due to his own description of his philosophical work. Therefore, it addresses three issues within the memoir: the philosophical ideas established in the beginning, the decisions he took during its development, and the structure of an impossible conclusion which ends it.

El objetivo de este dossier es presentar distintos métodos para hacer investigación en filosofía. Los motivos para asumir este trabajo residen en una serie de preguntas diversas que descansan sobre un mismo presupuesto de experiencia: los hombres pensamos de modos infinitamente heterogéneos, pero, en esa diversidad, parece haber unas formas más rigurosas que otras al dar razones y fundamentos sobre lo que se logra saber. Este principio, que sustenta la necesidad de formarse como investigador en cualquier ciencia, implica aprender metodologías (...) concretas. Eso significa ejercitarse en “caminos a seguir”, específicos para hacer ciencia, lo que indica la etimología griega de μετά-ὁδός. (shrink)

El tema del tiempo ha sido una de las principales paradojas que ha motivado el comienzo, desarrollo y evolucion de la filosofia de Paul Ricoeur. Ha sido un problema constante a lo largo de toda su obra y ha sido ampliamente discutido por sus interpretes. El objetivo de este trabajo es describir el surgimiento y evolución de este tema central hasta su culminacion en Temps et récit. A traves del método fenomenologico de la pregunta regresiva, en la primera parte de (...) este trabajo examinare la genesis y fuentes originarias del tema del tiempo y su evolución en las primeras obras de Ricoeur; en la segunda indagare el involucramiento de este tema con la vida de Ricoeur como preludio a la escritura de Temps et récit ; finalmente en la tercera parte analizare el suceso e impacto de esta obra central y sus continuaciones en sus obras tardias.

The aim of this article is to map the intellectual structure of scholarship on economic and social value in the sport industry. Given that bibliometric techniques are specially appropriate for identifying the intellectual structures of a field of knowledge and complement traditional literature reviews, a co-citation bibliometric analysis has been applied. This kind of analysis identifies networks of interconnections. Therefore, we aim to detect both the most and the least active research areas in this field, as well as their sub-disciplinary (...) composition. There is an abundance of literature on sport efficiency and economic efficiency in the sport industry, our main conclusion is the identification of a literature gap in regard to social value in sport organisations, which is expected to be a research opportunity for scholars. This is in line with the lack of standardisation in the measurement for social value in sport organisations. In fact, similar to analysis undertaken in the past few decades of other industries with contributions to stakeholders and the multi-fiduciary theory of stakeholders, both the creation of social value indicators for sport entities and the empirical analysis of social efficiency in sport institutions, are identified and outlined as future areas of research. Therefore, this bibliometric analysis will contribute to determine the future challenges that this area of research will face in the following years so as to fill the literature gap identified.

Drawing on the natural-resource-based view, we propose that employee stakeholder integration is linked to environmental performance through firms’ proactive environmental strategies, and that this link is contingent on shared vision. We tested our model with a cross-country and multi-industry sample. In support of our theory, results revealed that firms’ proactive environmental strategies translated employee stakeholder integration into environmental performance. This relationship was pronounced for high levels of shared vision. Our findings demonstrate that shared vision represents a key condition for advancing (...) the corporate greening agenda through proactive environmental strategies. We discuss implications for the CSR and the environmental management literatures, with a particular focus on the NRBV and stakeholder integration debates. (shrink)

Metallothioneins (MTs) are ubiquitous proteins with the capacity to bind heavy metal ions (mainly Cd, Zn or Cu), and they have been found in animals, plants, eukaryotic and prokaryotic micro‐organisms. We have carried out a comparative analysis of ciliate MTs (Tetrahymena species) to well‐known MTs from other organisms, discussing their exclusive features, such as the presence of aromatic amino acid residues and almost exclusive cysteine clusters (CCC) present in cadmium‐binding metallothioneins (CdMTs), higher heavy metal‐MT stoichiometry values, and a strictly conserved (...) modular–submodular structure. Based on this last feature and an extensive gene duplication, we propose a possible model for the evolutionary history of T. thermophila MTs. We also suggest possible functions for these MTs from consideration of their differential gene expressions and discuss the potential use of these proteins and/or their gene promoters for designing molecular or whole‐cell biosensors for a fast detection of heavy metals in diverse polluted ecosystems.

One of the protagonists of the darwinist controversy in the Canary Islands (Spain), during the Nineteenth Century, was the advocate and teacher Rafael Lorenzo y García. In this paper, I show his original thought, until now unknown, against the classical darwinism and next to the fixism.Moreover I analyse the philosophical and natural constants in his Estudios filosóficos (1876 y 1877).

This book provides a comprehensive, systematic theory of moral responsibility. The authors explore the conditions under which individuals are morally responsible for actions, omissions, consequences, and emotions. The leading idea in the book is that moral responsibility is based on 'guidance control'. This control has two components: the mechanism that issues in the relevant behavior must be the agent's own mechanism, and it must be appropriately responsive to reasons. The book develops an account of both components. The authors go on (...) to offer a sustained defense of the thesis that moral responsibility is compatible with causal determinism. (shrink)

I address various critiques of the approach to moral responsibility sketched in previous work by Ravizza and Fischer. I especially focus on the key issues pertaining to manipulation.

In this paper I explore in a preliminary way the interconnections among narrative explanation, narrative value, free will, an immortality. I build on the fascinating an suggestive work of David Velleman. I offer the hypothesis that our acting freely is what gives our lives a distinctive kind of value - narrative value. Free Will, then, is connected to the capacity to lead a meaningful life in a quite specific way: it is the ingredient which, when aded to others, enows us (...) with a meaning over an above the cumulative value erived from ading together levels of momentary welfare. In acting freely, we are writing a sentence in the story of our lives, and the value of acting freely is thus a species of the value of artistic creativity or self-expression (understood appropriately). Finally, I contend that the fact that our lives are stories need not entail that they have endings, or that immortality would necessarily be unimaginable or essentially different from ordinary, finite human life. Yes, a certain sort of narrative understanding of our lives as a whole would be impossible in the context of immortality; but much of what we care about, and value, in our stories might remain.
