Few writers in the history of Spanish-American literature are more philosophical than Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz; her two most important prose works, the Carta Atenagorica and the Respuesta a Sor Filotea de la Cruz are both obvious examples of this orientation. In the Carta we have the author's most outstanding philosophical text. In it, we find a clearly delineated statement of Sor Juana's philosophy of love. This work might best be described as a Neo-scholastic discussion of "divine" or "pure" love, informed by the most influential Neoplatonic doctrines of love of the author's time (those of Marsilio Ficino and Leone Hebreo). Both philosophical currents are present in the works of Sor Juana.

Public health ethics, as distinct from clinical/medical bioethics, is an emerging field of study in academic settings. As part of a larger effort to address what the conceptual and content boundaries of this field are, or ought to be, a group at the University of Toronto hosted an international working symposium to discuss and outline a research agenda for public health ethics. The symposium, which took place in May 2002, was organized into four major areas of ethical concern central to public health: individual rights and the common good; risk and precaution; surveillance and regulation; and social justice and global health equity. This paper will provide an overview of some of the main themes and issues that emerged from the key papers that were developed from the symposium and discuss their importance in the emerging field of public health ethics. Significant issues were identified, such as the importance of distinguishing public health ethics from traditional bioethics; the development of the notion of common interests; broad definitions of public health, that include upstream sources of health inequities, and an understanding of the theoretical landscape from which public health ethics has emerged.

This study is on the contribution of Rev. Fr. Norberto M. Castillo, O.P., a Filipino Dominican whose works in Philosophy of Science are treated in this article as important in responding to the challenge of building a 'tradition in moral inquiry' that was suggested by the works of Prof. Alasdair MacIntyre. The article will discuss Castillo's three phases of a creative act: envisioning, invisioning and convisioning, and will use these phases as heuristic guide for the task of articulating a 'tradition in moral inquiry. ' The study ends with the claim that the failure to arrive at a 'tradition in moral inquiry' is brought by the lack of a sustained reflection over moral matters which can only be achieved when an attempt to mimic the mentioned phases of scientific creative act is done in the field of moral philosophy.
