The intent we propose will be to retrace a few fundamental passages of the philosophical and metaphysical though of the Spanish philosopher, considering two conceptual pairs that refer to the quest...

The paper aims to examine the role of Benet Perera’s and Roberto Bellarmino’s exegetic models in the development of the relationship between the nascent Galilean science and post-Tridentine catholic theology. It intends to show that, during the early decades of seventeenth century, the Catholic Church dealt with the Scientific Revolution with the same hermeneutical tools that it had employed to confront the Protestant Reformation half a century before. However, new science involved a philosophical and scientific culture change so vast and (...) intricate that those models turned out to be inadequate to understand the birth and characteristics of the new era.

El concepto del yo en la metafísica moderna del siglo XVII: de la autoconciencia de Tommaso Campanella al Cogito cartesiano. Éstas son las coordenadas entre las que es posible indagar el concepto del yo en la edad moderna. El presente artículo, por tanto, intenta analizar las opciones filosóficas de estos dos autores capitales en la formación de la filosofía moderna, para poder preguntarse, finalmente: cuál es el precio que pagamos a la modernidad? La presunta afirmación "solipsista" de la subjetividad induce (...) a que la realidad pierda interés; más aún, a que se pierda la realidad misma produciendo -como decía Hannah Arendt en Vida activa, citando a Whitehead- "el efecto del retraerse del sentido común". The concept of ego in the modern metaphysics of the XVII century: from the self-consciousness of Thomas Campanella to the cogito of Descartes. This are the coordinates within which it is possible to investigate the concept of the ego in the modern age. The present article, therefore, tries to analyse the philosophical choices of these two great authors of modern philosophy, to be finally able to ask: Which is the price we pays to modernity? This alleged "solipsistic" assertion of subjectivity in way encourages the loss of interest in reality; even more, the loss of reality itself producing -as Hannah Arendt stated in The Human Condition, quoting Whitehead - "the effect of withdrawing from the common sense".

In this study, in the light of Xavier Zubiri’s Metaphysics, we want to pay attention to the nuances of the term “transcendental”, trying to grasp shades and developments of its use in Zubiri’s thought to understand its originality and to be able to offer some clarifications on essential aspects of his philosophical system, in order to redefine his philosophy of reality as trans-physics.

El presente artículo quiere profundizar el nexo entre voluntad de verdad y relegación en la filosofía de Xavier Zubiri, en una perspectiva diacrónica e sincrónica, en un análisis del problema del concepto de «poder de lo real» al interior del camino personal del filósofo en modo de determinar cuál es el espacio que el hombre tiene por liberarse de su fundamentalidad: agnosticismo, indiferencia y ateísmo.

In this essay we will specify two issues particularly significant not only with regard to the personal life of Tommaso Campanella, but also with respect to his thought: 1) the revolutionary prophec...
