Las principales tesis filosóficas de Ibn Gabirol
Get PDFEl objetivo de este trabajo es presentar las principales tesis filosóficas desarrolladas por Ibn Gabirol en La fuente de la vida. En vistas a ello, se desarrollarán dos apartados. En el primero, se expondrá brevemente su contexto intelectual. Para ello se pondrán de manifiesto tres posiciones metodológicas relativas al estudio de las fuentes de los pensadores judíos medievales, y se mencionarán las principales obras neoplatónicas, islámicas o judías que pueden haber sido parte de la «familia doctrinal» de Ibn Gabirol.Fil: Oro, Lucas.

La causalidad metafísico-política en el Kitāb al-Yanābīʿ de Abū Yaʿqūb al-Sijistānī: conocimiento, mediación y participación
Get PDFEste trabajo dirige su atención a un capítulo en la historia del pensamiento político islámico: un momento en el despliegue de la discusión entre las dos espadas, la espiritual y la temporal, cuyo desarrollo en el mundo islámico, henchido de problemas colaterales, puede ser visto como acaso más intrincado que en el mundo latino medieval . En particular, este estudio se focaliza en la estructura metafísica, ontológica y epistemológica, sobre la que descansa el Libro de las Fuentes (Kitāb al-Yanābīʿ), escrito a mediados del siglo cuarto/décimo por Abū Yaʿqūb al-Sijistānī.Fil: Oro, Lucas.

Redemption through knowledge: The Ismāī‘lī reading of the Neoplatonic metaphysics in the Kitāb al-Yanābīʻ of Abū Yaʻqūb al-Sijistānī (4th century H./10th century C.E.)
Get PDFLos escritos de Abū Yaʻqūb al-Sijistānī representan uno de los más destacados ejemplos de una lectura ismaī‘lī de las doctrinas neoplatónicas. En su Kitāb al-Yanābīʻ se encuentra una dicotomía. Si bien la “mediación” es la principal característica de la realidad actual, cierto acceso “directo” a la dimensión inteligible es vista como posible, para todo ser humano, en cualquier momento. Sin embargo, ambas perspectivas parecen ser incompatibles. Si un ser humano puede alcanzar la dimensión universal sin mediación alguna salvo su propia alma, ¿por qué debería entonces “participar” en la daʻwa al-ʼismāʻīliyya?Abū Yaʻqūb al-Sijistānī’s works might be considered as some of the most clear examples of an Ismaī‘lī reading of the Neoplatonic doctrines. In his Kitāb alYanābīʻ there is a dichotomy: even if “mediation” is the main characteristic of the present reality, it seems that some kind of “direct” access to the spiritual dimension is possible for all humans at any moment. Both perspectives seem incompatible: if a human being can reach the universal dimension without any intermediation but his own soul, why would he need to “participate” in the daʻwa al-ʼismāʻīliyya?Fil: Oro, Lucas.

Singularidad ontológica y antropológica en Fons Vitae, de Ibn Gabirol
Get PDFEn este escrito se estudiará el problema de la singularidad ontológica y antropológica en Fons Vitae, la principial obra filosófica que se conserva de Ibn Gabirol. Para exponer su concepción, se presentarán dos tematizaciones alternativas: la concepción aristotélica de la singularidad ontológica, y la concepción aviceniana de la singularidad antropológica. Para Ibn Gabirol, la materia y la forma son los dos principios del ser y constituyen, a la vez, el horizonte de resolución conceptual de la totalidad de lo real. Ambas estructuran la totalidad de lo que existe, puesto que lo sumo oculto es la materia universal, y lo sumo manifiesto son las formas sensibles. La forma da el ser a las cosas, y manifiesta la presencia en todo lo existente de la Voluntad divina. Pero además, mediante el análisis intelectual el hombrepuede conocer, en grados crecientes, lo que es. Así se aproxima al mundo inteligible, provocando el retorno de cada cual a su semejante en el ámbito inteligible.This paper intends to analyze the problem of ontological and anthropological singularity within Fons Vitae by Ibn Gabirol. First, some remarks are made about the Aristotelian conception of ontological singularity and the Avicennian conception of anthropological singularity. That will help to thoroughly grasp Gabirol´s thought on this particular point. According to Ibn Gabirol, matter and form are the principles of being. Both represent the horizon of conceptual resolution of all reality. Both define the totality of what exists, because the most hidden is the universal matter, while the most evident are the sensitive forms. Form gives its being to all existing things. At the same time, it reveals the presence of the Divine Will. Through intellectual analysis, man can know –in increasingly degree– what he is. Thus, he approaches the intelligible world, enacting the return of each one to what it is similar to each one in the intelligible ambit.Fil: Oro, Lucas.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
