Reflexiones filosóficas sobre el saber y las relaciones de poder en la educación escolarizada
No full textEl libro Filosofía, ética y educación para la ciudadanía en la era digital, reflexiona acerca de los cambios contextuales que han provocado una serie de desafíos que exigen un replanteamiento filosófico y ético de la educación en el mundo de hoy. En un escenario donde la individualidad y la ciudadanía se redefinen a través de las interacciones digitales,
resulta imprescindible cuestionar el papel de la educación en la construcción de identidades, en la promoción de la equidad y en la preparación de seres humanos críticos, proactivos, y comprometidos con la transformación social.
Esta obra se propone repensar la educación, reflexionar sobre el quehacer docente y revisar las prácticas pedagógicas como pilares fundamentales de la construcción social
Spinoza in Frankreich. Anti-Hegelianismus und Positionen einer anderen Dialektik
No full textMit Spinoza in Frankreich legt der finnische Marxist und Spinozakenner Vesa Oittinen eine fulminant verfasste Kritik an der Spinoza-Rezeption des französischen Poststrukturalismus und Neomarxismus vor. Während Spinoza bei Louis Althusser und seiner Schule herangezogen wird, um Marx als Anti-Dialektiker zu präsentieren, mündet Gilles Deleuzes Spinoza-Lektüre in einen Linksnietzscheanismus, der von Herrschaft und Knechtschaft – und damit auch von Befreiung – nichts mehr wissen will. Spinoza wird so als Anti-Dialektiker fehlinterpretiert. Dagegen wirft Oittinen ein gänzlich neues Licht auf die Philosophie Spinozas: Denn in ihr ist eine andere, nämlich positive Form der Dialektik am Werk, die uns zwingt, das Verhältnis Spinozas zu Hegel und Hegels zu Spinoza grundlegend zu überdenken
Renovation and mereorganic continuity
No full textThe author clarifies nature of the property of merorganic continuity and demonstrates its applicability not only to the question of survival and personal identity, but also to the question of demarcation of reconstruction and restoration. The author also responds to the remarks and criticisms of Roman Kochnev and Konstantin Morozov related to the publication of his previous article
History’s Movement: The Historical Ontology in Social Ontology
No full textSocial ontology and the philosophy of history both concern themselves with human collectives. Social ontology is supposed to be theoretical, although the social sciences are supposed to be empirical. Philosophy of history is supposed to be theoretical, although historiography is supposed to be empirical. In fact, the a priori and the a posteriori mix in both theoretical and empirical endeavors in similar ways. Since the two endeavors hold part of their objects of inquiry in common, they should be able to speak to another. In what follows I aim to expose some of the ways their dialogue stresses and can nourish them both. Critical social ontology can enhance the moral purchase of social ontology. Re-conceiving ontology for social ontology must rely on developing an orientation toward diachronesis and history
An Unsurpassable World
No full textHistorically, philosophers who thought our world unsurpassable, like Leibniz, thought it the uniquely best of all possible worlds. But recent developments in value theory and philosophy of religion make clear that our world could be unsurpassable, but not uniquely best—because other worlds are still as good as or incomparable with it. In particular, the world may contain infinities that result in incomparability with many other worlds. This chapter advances the recent philosophical debate over whether it is tenable to hold that our world is unsurpassable, given that it may contain an infinite number of people with lives that go infinitely well. I argue that while recent innovations in formal axiology offer prospects for comparing many worlds with these kinds of infinities, many infinite worlds are genuinely incomparable with each other. Consequently, whether there is another world better than our own ends up turning on substantive metaphysical and normative questions: metaphysical questions about personal identity across possible worlds, and normative questions about what makes for a valuable life
Extreme beliefs and Echo chambers
No full textAre extreme beliefs constitutive of echo chambers, or only typically caused by them? Or are many echo chambers unproblematic, amplifying relatively benign beliefs? This paper details the conceptual relations between echo chambers and extreme beliefs, showing how different conceptual choice-points in how we understand both echo chambers and extreme beliefs affects how we should evaluate, study, and engage with echo chambering groups. We also explore how our theories of extreme beliefs and echo chambers shape social scientific research and contribute in a practical way when treating these phenomena, focusing on examples of climate change scepticism
Disability, Affordances, and the Dogma of Harmony: Socializing the EE-Model of Disability
No full textRecent years have seen increased interest among 4E cognition scholars in physical disability, leading to the development of the EE-model of disability. This paper contributes to the literature on disability and 4E cognition in three key ways. First, it examines the relationship between the EE-model and social constructivist views that address the bodily reality of disablement, highlighting commonalities and distinctions. Second, it critiques the EE-model’s focus on individual strategies for expanding disabled persons’ affordance landscapes, arguing that disability policy should integrate insights from both the EE-model and social constructivist approaches. Finally, it assesses the EE-model against the 'dogma of harmony'. We argue that while the EE-model’s focus on active human-environment collaboration is valuable, it can inadvertently perpetuate this dogma. We contend that integrating certain social constructivist insights can help the EE-model avoid the dogma of harmony
