Aristotle on μετὰ λόγου capacities and voluntary animal locomotion part two: freedom, scientific knowledge and voluntary locomotion
Get PDFAccording to the dominant interpretation of the distinction between capacities that are “without-λόγος” (ἄλογοι) and capacities that are “with-λόγος” (μετὰ λόγου, Met., IX 2,1046a34-b2), the latter would be unique to human beings. We can find four arguments in defense of that thesis in the secondary bibliography. In a previous paper I dealt with two of these arguments, which I called the psychic arguments. This article deals with the other two and presents a positive argument for the alternative reading that tries to make it seem plausible - although not unassailable - in light of its own merits. According to this alternative reading, it is with the framework provided by Aristotle to explain the functioning of bidirectional capacities that we must explain the functioning of the capacity responsible for producing voluntary locomotion in all animals
Plotino, Proclo e o neoplatonismo árabe: Plotinus, Proclus and the Arabic Neoplatonism
Get PDF In this text, I present a historiographical debate about the Arabic Neoplatonism from some assumptions since the 19th century. From the editions of the works and the posterior studies, the distinction between the Plotinian corpus in Arabic, the Plotiana arabica, and the Proclean corpus, the Procliana arabica, was consolidated, given the way in which the relationship between the texts originally written in Arabic and their Greek sources was understood. However, in view of recent studies, different assumptions and methodologies have been adopted. Given the complexity of the discussion, in this text I will restrict myself to the analysis of two works originally written in Arabic, namely The Theology of Aristotle and the Discourse on the Pure Good, known as Liber de causis. Starting from the critique of two traditionally accepted historiographical assumptions, the aim of the following analysis is to discuss how new approaches allow us a more unified understanding of the nature of the Arabic Neoplatonic corpus. A consequence of the distinction between the Plotinus arabus and the Proclus arabus is to lock the texts into philosophical models that are different from those found in the works themselves.

A partir das edições das obras e dos estudos subsequentes, consolidou-se a distinção entre os corpora plotiniano em língua árabe, o Plotiana arabica, e o procliano, o Procliana arabica, segundo o modo como se entendeu a relação entre os textos orginalmente escritos em árabe e as suas fontes gregas. Contudo, tendo em vista os estudos recentes, diferentes pressupostos e metodologias vêm sendo assumidos. Dada a complexidade da discussão, neste texto, restringir-me-ei à análise de duas obras originalmente escritas em árabe, a dizer, a Teologia de Aristóteles e o Discurso sobre o Bem Puro, mais conhecido como Liber de causis. O objetivo da análise que se segue é, partindo da crítica a dois pressupostos historiográficos tradicionalmente aceitos, analisar como as abordagens recentes nos permitem uma compreensão mais unificada da natureza dos textos que compõem o corpus neoplatônico árabe. Uma das consequências da distinção entre o Plotinus arabus e o Proclus arabus é engessar os textos em modelos filosóficos que são diferentes daqueles encontrados nas próprias obras

“This is (not) a CAPTCHA Poem@” : On Language, Algorithm and Representation in the Time of Pandemic
No full textMar y virus/Virus and the Sea is a multimodal e-lit project directly responding to the impact of COVID-19 on society and the environment, providing technological and aesthetic opportunities for connection and collaboration/sharing of the collective experience. This project addresses the precarity of human agency —and its exclusionist reference to (hu)Man,— from a post-humanism ignited by the devastating crisis caused by the Anthropocene. The installation and project “Mar y virus / Virus and the Sea” reconceptualizes multiple combinatory electronic options that address, among other levels, a crisis of representation in the time of the COVID 19 pandemic. The technotexts presented in this project, such as the Poem@CAPTCHA, request recognition and proof, a test of what subtly makes us human, based on the principles of inclusion, connection, transfeminism and cyberpoetry, a test that potentially points to a new and necessary metanarrative of collaboration and technology-based connection/alliance: “Share your COVID story.”Mar y virus/Virus and the Sea é um projeto multimodal e-lit que responde diretamente ao impacto da COVID-19 na sociedade e no ambiente, proporcionando oportunidades tecnológicas e estéticas de conexão e colaboração/partilha da experiência coletiva. Este projeto aborda a precariedade da agência humana — e a sua referência excludente ao (hu)man [homem] — a partir de um pós-humanismo inflamado pela crise devastadora provocada pelo Antropoceno. A instalação e projeto “Mar y virus / Virus and the Sea” reconceptualiza múltiplas opções combinatórias eletrónicas que abordam, entre outros assuntos, uma crise de representação em tempo de pandemia COVID-19. Os tecnotextos apresentados neste projeto, como é exemplo o Poem@ CAPTCHA, solicitam reconhecimento e prova, um teste do que sutilmente nos torna humanos, baseado nos princípios de inclusão, conexão, transfeminismo e ciberpoesia, um teste que potencialmente aponta para uma nova e necessária metanarrativa de colaboração e conexão/aliança baseada em tecnologia: “Share your COVID story”

No full textPropuesta metodológica para integrar los grupos vulnerables en los planes de ordenamiento territorial
No full textThe aim of this article is to present a methodological proposal for the inclusion of the needs of vulnerable groups within land use planning processes. The research considered as vulnerable groups the populations of older adults, minors, women, people with disabilities, migrants, people living in poverty, people from the LGTBI+ community and migrants. The delimitation of vulnerable populations was based on the results of the literature analysis on the subject. The inclusion of the needs of vulnerable populations should be carried out as an integral part of a process of citizen participation that considers their integration as a cross-cutting axis.
The research carried out included the analysis of management plans with the inclusion of vulnerable populations, the analysis of the particular needs of vulnerable populations, and the development of tools for the integration of needs into management plans.
According to the results, the integration proposal should be made with the use of a box of 20 tools that presents methodological flexibility, managing to incorporate tools in each participation process according to the vulnerable groups present in the territory.
The heterogeneity of a toolbox allows the particular needs of each vulnerable group to be addressed through specific tools.
For each particular case, a systemic analysis must be carried out with the needs of the vulnerable populations present in the territory, using the methodological tools proposed according to the particular case.El objetivo del artículo es presentar una propuesta metodológica para la inclusión de las necesidades de los grupos vulnerables dentro de los procesos de ordenamiento territorial. La investigación consideró como grupos vulnerables a las poblaciones de personas adultas mayores, personas menores de edad, mujeres, personas con discapacidad, personas migrantes, personas en condición de pobreza, personas de la comunidad LGTBI+ y personas migrantes. La delimitación de las poblaciones vulnerables se realizó a partir de los resultados del análisis de bibliografía sobre el tema. La inclusión de las necesidades de las poblaciones vulnerables se deberá realizar como parte integral de un proceso de participación ciudadana que considere su integración como un eje transversal.
La investigación realizada incluyó el análisis de planes de ordenamiento con inclusión de poblaciones vulnerables, el análisis de las necesidades particulares de las poblaciones vulnerables y el desarrollo de herramientas para la integración de las necesidades en los planes de ordenamiento.
Según los resultados, la propuesta de integración se deberá realizar con el uso de una caja de 20 herramientas que presenta flexibilidad metodológica, logrando incorporar en cada proceso de participación herramientas acorde con los grupos vulnerables presentes en el territorio. La heterogeneidad de una caja de herramientas permite que las necesidades particulares de cada grupo vulnerable puedan ser atendidas por medio de herramientas específicas.
Para cada caso particular se debe realizar el análisis sistémico con las necesidades de las poblaciones vulnerables presentes en el territorio, utilizando las herramientas metodológicas propuestas según sea el caso particular
