La estructura paradojal de la realidad humana


Book Description

Los articulos incluidos en este libro enfatizan un aspecto siempre presente en la obra de Paul Ricoeur: la nocion de paradoja existencial. La extensa y rigurosa obra de este filosofo frances vino a complementar una tradicion de reflexion filosofica que ha reconocido en San Agustin, Blaise Pascal, Soren Kierkegaard, Miguel de Unamuno, entre otros, a algunos de los pensadores que no evitaron abordar la problematica del yo encarnado, filosofos que no eludieron la dificultad de pensar a fondo la realidad del hombre de carne y hueso. De este modo, al momento de pensar sobre la realidad humana, no cedieron a la tentacion de incurrir en generalizaciones teoricas de talante reduccionista. A que tipo de medida nos indexa una estructura paradojal de la realidad humana? Paul Ricoeur sostiene que el hombre es un finito con sed de infinito, y prefirio hablar de una ontologia de la desproporcion humana, ante el riesgo de no considerar en toda su latitud a una realidad humana cuya medida, es desmedida; a una realidad humana cuya proporcion, es desproporcionada.

Manifesto of New Realism


Book Description

Philosophical realism has taken a number of different forms, each applied to different topics and set against different forms of idealism and subjectivism. Maurizio Ferraris's Manifesto of New Realism takes aim at postmodernism and hermeneutics, arguing against their emphasis on reality as constructed and interpreted. While acknowledging the value of these criticisms of traditional, dogmatic realism, Ferraris insists that the insights of postmodernism have reached a dead end. Calling for the discipline to turn its focus back to truth and the external world, Ferraris's manifesto—which sparked lively debate in Italy and beyond—offers a wiser realism with social and political relevance.
