Una de las mayores revoluciones dela época contemporánea en el plano jurídicomorales la universalización de los derechoshumanos. Esta nueva realidad que vive la Humanidadai término dei II Milenio es fruto de unalarga conquista colectiva, pues todas las civilizacionesse fundan en sistemas de creencias quetratan de liberar ai hornbre de las necesidadesmás elementales de.la condición humana. Sinembargo, han sido la cultura occidental la quemás se ha distinguido en la lucha por las libertades,como ha quedado recogido en la literaturadei Antiguo y dei (...) Nuevo Testamento y en las delos gríegos y romanos. Ciertarnente no se trataaún de los derechos subjetivos, pero la idea denaturaleza humana inspira los prirneros intentosde elevar ai plano jurídico y politico los deseoslegítimos de libertad. En el siglo XII surgen lasprirneras ciudades "libres" y se reconoce lainiciativa de mercado, pero, sobre todo, e! respetoa la conciencia es objeto de reflexión preferentepor parte de los juristas y de los teólogos.

Juan Luis Vives: Humanistic Logic versus Nominalistc Logic. In this work we study an aspect of the Humanism of Juan Luis Vives: his critique to the Nominalistic Logic. According to the Spanish philosopher, Grammar and Rhetoric were not separable from Dialectic. Perhaps Juan Luis Vives did not understand very well the sense of the Nominalistic Logic. Nevertheles his contribution to the humanictic Logic was quite considerable.

The planetary civilization we are having affects positively world's religions. The former model, based on the isolation, suspicion and competency among religions, is being substituted for the search of common ties of those religions. The interreligious dialogue does not intend to eliminate the religious differences in order to create a common religion. On the contrary, starting from these differences, we are interested in those unity ties shared by all of them, beginning with the ethical-moral values. This contribution of religions to (...) the creation of universal ethics is the first fruit of the interreligious dialogue. In the second part we analyse the relationship of the Christian religion with the others. Nowadays it is not understood to defend an absolutist conception of truth. Although Truth is unique, it is possessed in a multiple manner. That's why the interreligious dialogue is needed. (shrink)
