Philosophy

This work tries to explore into the nature of the Western and its problematic relationships with the real facts, which made it a suitable mean in order to discuss or report many issues, that hadn’t anything to do with the far west and couldn’t be expressed publicly because of the censorship. Therefore Western’s rhetoric had only to respect some basic features that could hide the movie into the myth, which is easy to be recognized but really adaptable to the authors’ aims as well. The purpose of this paper is to show several of these examples and to get how the sacrifice to the real facts was actually the way which gave to the Western a big freedom of speech and, likewise, popularized this genre.

In this article we make an approach to morality from a neurological point of view that try to stand out the prosocial points and the neuroplasticity that we can find in the brain. We show as well some problems that appear in the usual explanations which, consciously or not, offer a simplistic framework –and often deterministic– about human nature. Besides, we claim for a responsible use of neurosciences, which should be interdisciplinary. Neurology provides a knowledge which is really
useful for a biological exploration of morality, as in the case of mirrons neurons, whose existence shows the importance of the other, maybe as one of the crucial components of morality.

In this paper we explore different faces of current nationalism in relation to the conflict between the Catalan movement pro-independence and the Spanish Government, especially new currents of nationalism, which are not focused on identity, as the interpretation developed by the thinker Xavier Rubert de Ventós. Afterwards, we link this issue with the sovereignism, deploying some thoughts and criticisms about the concept of sovereignty of Jean Bodin, in order to show the difficulties or incompatibilities between democracy and the idea of sovereignty. Democracy would need the presence of counterdemocracy, the presence of an authentic opposition or a real plurality, in order to be really democratic. Therefore, independence, if it wants to be rightful and democratic, should fight in order to scarify or reduce the idea of sovereignty.

The crisis has been usually considered as an economical crisis, although it is political and social as well. Therefore, one should take into question the axioms of economics which led, for instance, to the idea of a Homo Economicus and the apology of
concurrence. Against this, one should develop the possibility of a politics of cooperation, that here receives the name of counter-democracy. This cooperation should not be afraid of the conflict and it should invite the other to participate and to play a role in a
community, similar to the community that Jean-Luc Nancy and Roberto Esposito have developed, what we call the community of difference.

Insolence has been till now a concept, which wasn’t important for political philosophy. This article reports this absence and describes briefly its history, focusing on phenomena as the jester and the carnival. Afterwards we analyze the current situation of insolence and we discuss the possibility that it could regain the political meaning, which had had formerly.

The multitude is a concept which has recently been coined and this word defines, according to some thinkers, most of the latest political movements and it has been even considered as a political model for the future. Nevertheless, this concept carries some difficulties as much in the foundation as in the application of such and here we will put these into question. We emphasize the importance of the naturalistic fallacy of politics and the paradox of the multitude.

This article studies in depth the movie Jew Süss (Jud Süss) in connection with its context in order to explore anti-semitism in the nazi cinematography. One can see, paradoxically, that this movie was an uncommon product, because Goebbels didn’t dare to insist in a kind of movies, which normally didn’t attract the german public, excepting the film that we are examining. That shows one of the limits of nazi totalitarianism, because the nazi government didn’t reach to convince the people to want to see this kind of movies.

José Val del Omar sintetiza una de las tragedias habituales que conocemos tan bien en España. No consiste tanto en una muerte violenta o algún suceso concreto teñido de tragedia, sino una tragedia cotidiana que se plasma en la falta de apoyos y en el abandono de las personas válidas a unas condiciones que imposibilitan la gestación o la difusión de obras que en otros países hubieran sido reverenciadas por la crítica. Val del Omar fue un «creyente del cine», una persona que se involucró completamente en sus audaces sueños y que ha recibido el olvido como respuesta. De ahí la necesidad, o el acierto, del Museo Reina Sofía y el Centro José Guerrero por recuperar la memoria de un personaje que merece ocupar un espacio concreto dentro de las historias del cine y del arte de nuestro país.

Se trata de pensar cómo desde la introducción del concepto de autoridad en la idea de representación se fragiliza la idea de poder y se puede abrir una apertura democratizadora, gracias a la cual es indispensable la obtención del reconocimiento de los "gobernados".

La figura de Sócrates según las diferentes lecturas de Foucault y Arendt: de la parresía a la experiencia del pensar (O: el conflicto político no deseado que se deriva de la reivindicación de un modelo ético y sus tensiones con la idea de democracia).

This paper exposes how the bureaucratic violence can be a politic tool in order to deactivate the politic protest and the social changes. The bureaucratic violence is a stronghold of statu quo and can be defined as a passive violence, because it doesn't attack the citizen but blocks their demands.

This article explores the philosophical relationship between Hannah Arendt and Karl Jaspers through the idea of authority, which was a partial counterpoint to the influence of Heidegger. Jaspers developed a philosophy of existence based on the concept of communication and openness to the Other, and engaged with politics and the present in general. Arendt nevertheless eventually distanced herself from his thinking when she concluded that Jaspers’ thought did not attain the necessary dimension of plurality.
