    Philology and cuisine in De re coquinaria.John Edwards - 2001 - American Journal of Philology 122 (2):255-263.

Through bisociation, the use of one discipline to illuminate another, some of them can be resolved. To put it simply, the translation should fit the plate.

    La bioética en una sociedad liberal.Maxwell John Charlesworth - 1996 - New York: Ediciones AKAL.
    Este libro equilibrado y fácil de leer es una discusión original sobre los temas contemporáneos de la bioética. Max Charlesworth sostiene que, al no poder existir en las sociedades liberales un consenso público sobre un conjunto de valores centrales, también debería haber pluralidad de posturas éticas. En base a esto, el autor discute temas como el suicidio, la eutanasia, las técnicas de reproducción artificial, o el debate sobre la distribución de los recursos sanitarios limitados. Es una obra de interés (...)

    ¿Suscribió santo Tomás de Aquino la tesis según la cual el mundo pudo haber existido desde siempre? Una respuesta a Wippel y Bukowski.José Luis Irarrázaval - 2025 - Tópicos: Revista de Filosofía 72:67-92.
    Respecto al tema de la eternidad del mundo, suele atribuirse a santo Tomás de Aquino la siguiente postura: que el mundo, de hecho, tuvo un comienzo, pero que pudo haber existido desde siempre. Sin embargo, en ninguno de los textos del Aquinate se encuentra una defensa explícita de la posibilidad de un mundo eterno. Con todo, al menos dos autores ofrecen una defensa sistemática a favor de dicha atribución: John F. Wippel y Thomas Bukowski. El presente artículo defiende (...)

    John Ruskin.Jorge Polo Blanco - 2023 - Claridades. Revista de Filosofía 15 (2):177-207.
    En el presente trabajo expondremos y analizaremos algunos de los aspectos más significativos del pensamiento de John Ruskin. Comprobaremos que sus reflexiones sobre el arte en general y sobre la arquitectura en particular están íntimamente conectadas con sus ideas morales, religiosas y sociopolíticas. Fue un enemigo declarado de la civilización industrial, responsabilizándola de haber convertido el mundo en un lugar inhóspito, cruel y feo. Debía comprenderse en toda su profundidad el abismo que media entre la belleza sagrada de (...)

    El estado en la teoría y en la práctica (The state in theory and practice).Harold Joseph Laski - 1936 - Madrid,: Editorial Revista de derecho privado. Edited by Herrero, Vicente & [From Old Catalog].
    Harold Laski (Manchester, 1893-Londres, 1950) es de los pocos teóricos del Estado en el mundo anglo-sajón que, desde John Stuart Mill, merece ser recordado. Sus teorías se desenvuelven en el tránsito del pensamiento liberal a la acción de tipo socialista. Fue miembro de la renombrada Fabian Society aunque renunció a su puesto en el Comité Ejecutivo Fabiano aduciendo incompatibilidad de opiniones, pues no aceptaba la posición "gradualista" y evolucionista de la socialdemocracia. Además formó parte del comité ejecutivo del partido (...)

    El refugio de la claridad.Josep E. Corbí - 2010 - Análisis Filosófico 30 (1):89-121.
    La claridad y la argumentación sirven de refugio frente a la charlatanería en el filosofar, pero quienes enfatizan tales principios metodológicos tienden a identificar la claridad con la literalidad y la argumentación con la formalización. En este trabajo, considero los límites de una elucidación filosófica de nuestras prácticas morales que descanse en tal identificación; para ello, examino la relevancia de la posición original de John Rawls para la determinación de los principios de la justicia y, en general, de los (...)

    Pragmatismo, método y educación.Juan Manuel Saharrea & Claudio Marcelo Viale - 2021 - Análisis Filosófico 41 (2):197-229.
    En este artículo analizamos la crítica que Richard Rorty hace de la apelación al “método experimental” por parte de John Dewey. Defendemos que la categórica desestimación que Rorty presenta del vínculo entre el pragmatismo de Dewey y su concepción de método hubiera sido o bien matizada, o bien radicalmente diferente, de haber considerado seriamente la importancia que la reflexión sobre la educación tenía para el filósofo de Vermont. Nuestra estrategia interpretativa se apoya en la recuperación que Henry Cowles (...)

    Divine Purpose and Heroic Response in Homer and Virgil: The Political Plan of Zeus.John Alvis - 1995 - Rowman & Littlefield Publishers.
    Taking a critical perspective more political than that usually adopted by classicists, John Alvis demonstrates in this study that the Iliad, Odyssey and Aeneid each present a distinct political teaching regarding human ends and the form of civil society most conducive to the realization of those ends. Referring to the mysterious "plan of Zeus" announced in the opening lines of the Iliad but never explained, Alvis argues that both Homer's Zeus and Virgil's Jupiter guide their heroes to embody principles (...)

  17. Foster's Case Against Matter.John Gardner - unknown
    This paper has two parts. The first is an exposition of John Foster's argument that ultimate reality, whatever else it might be, is not physical, and could not be. The second part is a somewhat tentative discussion of this argument, in which I consider ways it might be challenged or amended. I suggest that while Foster's argument may not render materialism untenable, at the very least it forces the materialist to adopt certain other controversial views, and so is a (...)

By providing practitioners the opportunity to sharpen their conceptual skills in computer technology, this book promotes a rational understanding of the (...)

  27. Dissolving the Inerrancy Debate: How Modern Philosophy Shaped the Evangelical View of Scripture.John Perry - 2001 - Quodlibet 3.
    The debate among American evangelicals over scriptural inerrancy has received less attention in recent literature than it did during its height in the 1970s and 1980s. Nonetheless the issue itself remains unresolved; indeed, many consider it beyond hope of resolution. Recent work by certain philosophers, however, suggests that there is a way out-not by resolving the debate but by dissolving it. In particular, a model developed by Nancey Murphy for understanding the history of the split between Protestant liberals and conservatives (...)

    When the Senate released its so-called "Torture Report" in December 2014 the world would learn that, for years, the CIA had used unimaginably brutal methods to interrogate its prisoners - often without yielding any useful or truthful information. The agency had long and adamantly defended its use of torture, staunchly arguing that it was not only just but necessary for the country's safety. And even amid the revelations of the report, questions abound about whether torture can be considered a justifiable (...)

This book compares the theology of Tillich with the psychology of Jung, arguing that they were both concerned with the recovery of a valid religious sense for contemporary culture. _Paul Tillich, Carl Jung and the Recovery of Religion_ explores in detail the diminution of the human spirit through the loss of its contact with its native religious depths, a problem (...)

At one point he says that "the meaning of a sentence is a function of its illocutionary force". At another he says that a move from a situation in which "I have to study for an exam" is heard as a statement to one in which it is heard as a rejection of a proposal is a move "from one meaning that emerges in a set (...)

    In an interview with Cogito (Greece), philosopher John Haugeland proposes that the defining feature of human intelligence is responsibility. On the ethical level, this means being able to decide between what one is told to do and what one ought to do; on the cognitive level, it involves abandoning a certain theory if it fails to comply with observation.

    Mill, German Idealism, and the Analytic/Continental Divide.John Skorupski - 2016 - In Christopher Macleod & Dale E. Miller, A Companion to Mill. Hoboken: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.. pp. 533–550.
    This essay compares the state of Anglophone and Continental philosophy at the time Mill wrote and the so‐called Analytic/Continental divide as it exists now. How did Mill regard the divide as it was then, and how would he fit it now? Mill's Schillerian idea of self‐realisation, together with the criticism of society and culture that he based on it, effectively put him in what he called the “German‐Coleridgean” camp; but he rejected the metaphysics of German idealism. I suggest that a (...)

    Infinite Phenomenology builds on John Russon’s earlier book, Reading Hegel’s Phenomenology, to offer a second reading of Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit. Here again, Russon writes in a lucid, engaging style and, through careful attention to the text and a subtle attunement to the existential questions that haunt human life, he demonstrates how powerfully Hegel’s philosophy can speak to the basic questions of philosophy. In addition to original studies of all the major sections of the Phenomenology, Russon discusses complementary texts (...)

  49. God as social glue.John Ness - forthcoming - Australian Humanist, The 123:18.
    Ness, John We are now well into the second century since scientific knowledge has advanced such that a belief in a god or gods to explain the universe, life, humans and morality, is entirely unnecessary. It contradicts all evidence and is even patently absurd. Over the last 100 years, most western countries have witnessed a decline in the god belief of around 2-5% per decade from an almost 100% rate in 1900.
