RESUMENSuele mantenerse que la tesis de la inconmensurabilidad enunciada por Kuhn en La estructua de las revoluciones científicas constituye el núcleo de las doctrinas relativistas. Frente a esta tesis, el artículo argumenta que admitir la incomensurabilidad entre tradiciones culturales diferentes o, incluso, negar que existan criterios absolutos y eternos de racionalidad no implica de suyo relativismo. Se recogen y critican los argumentos de Popper y Gombrich en contra del llamado "mito del marco conceptual" y se examina la postura de Putnam, (...) para concluir que éste se encuentra mucho más cerca de la inconmensurabilidad que lo que él mismo admite. En conra de la interpretación de la inconmensurabilidad que convierte a las culturas en totalidades cerradas y aisladas, se argumenta que la doctrina de la inconmensurabilidad no niega la existencia de comunicación intercultural: la caracteriza. En la misma línea se subraya que la inconmensurabilidad no impide el reconocimiento de lo humanoPALABRAS CLAVECULTURA-PARADIGMA-INCONMENSURABILIDAD-RELATIVISMOABSTRACTIt is usually maintained that Kuhn's claims on inconmensurability made up the core of the relativist doctrines. Against this view, the paper argues that the inconmensurability between the different cultural traditions or, even, the denial of the existence of eternal and absolute standars of rationaliti do not commit to relativist thesis. Popper and Hombrich's arguments are challenged and Putnam's view is examined in order to prove that he is closer to Kuhn than what he himself seems to think. In face of the reading of the idea of incommensurability that looks cultures as isolated and closed wholes, it is maintained that theinconmensurability thesis does not deny the existence of cultural communication: rather it characterizes how they communicate. Following the same line of thought, it is emphazised that the existence of inconmensurability between different cultures does not make impossible the recognition of the specific human phenomena.KEYWORDSCULTURE-PARADIGM-INCOMMENSURABILITY-RELATIVISM.

A partir de las perspectivas del poeta Rainer Maria Rilque, el autor desarrolla las nociones de la condición existencial del hombre y la naturaleza del hombre así como otras ideas que conforman la poesía antropológica y existencial de Rilque. Se abordan aquí la fragilidad de la existencia, la soledad, la subjetividad, la angustia, la apertura a las posibilidades, la muerte como fruto maduro de la existencia e inmanente a la vida, entre otras temáticas y se dejan atrás las visiones metafísicas (...) del yo como substancia para ofrecer una descripción fáctica del existir del hombre.

This paper shows the importance of the topic of personal identity in both analytical and continental tradition. Makes a general approach of the subject and explains the relevance of the other articles of this number of Anuario Filosófico.

This paper discusses the relevance in Ethics of the notion of human being. It distinguishes between the sphere of real moral moral practices and the philosophical foundation of such practices. It discusses also the difference between the modern concept of person and that of human being and establishes their role in moral thought. Finally, it focuses on the classical concept of person.

This paper attempts to establish an articulation of ethics, logic and philosophy of psychology in the Tractatus. After showing the ethical purpose of the Tractatus, his picture theory of meaning, and his philosophy of psychology –stressing the role of projection– Arregui sets him-self the task of analyzing the mystical. His insistence on projection allows him to underline the function of the transcendental subject and, therefore, to offer an interpretation of the texts about the mystical, dif-ferent to the usual ones.
