Este libro, Lo que pesa el mundo, ensaya una teoría fragmentaria (pues aparece en fragmentos) cuyo tema es la existencia y su marco conceptual es la ontología. Afirma que lo realmente existente son los individuos, a los que la mirada del pensamiento revela en grupos ontológicos. Su manifestación fenomenológica tiene lugar en forma de cosas, hechos, objetos, procesos y acciones. De todos estos asuntos trata este libro, que comienza por el pensar y va abriendo su investigación hacia el ser y (...) el hacer." -- Page 4 of cover. (shrink)

Early intervention is developed following different types of service organization, which in turn require different professional and family roles. The aim of this study was to compare the perceived satisfaction and family quality of life amongst families receiving early intervention developed at centers in comparison to those receiving the routines-based early intervention in families’ homes, that is a family centered intervention in ecological environments. Under a transformative paradigm, a mixed methods design was used, using the Consumer Report Effectiveness Scale (CRES-4) (...) and the Beach Center Family Quality of Life Scale (FQOLS) and two focus groups as data collection instruments. The sample comprised 166 parents in the quantitative phase and 16 parents in the qualitative phase. Results showed that families receiving routines-based early intervention had greater satisfaction with the service although both groups showed similar scores for family quality of life in most of the analyzed domains. Three dimensions were identified throughout the qualitative phase: problem solving, professional team and service organization. Both the models analyzed have an impact on family quality of life and parents are in general satisfied. Strengths and weaknesses were found related to the problem-solving process, the role of the professional team, family empowerment and the service’s organization. The areas requiring further development are the effective training of professionals focused on family practices, the exchange of information with the family and a more participatory organization that takes parent’s perspectives into consideration. The value given to a combined model is another aspect highlighted in this study, as well as the need for a more agile assessment period to avoid unnecessary delays. (shrink)

Four of the works attributed to Arnau de Vilanova may be considered consilia, which is the name of the genre of texts that expound medical treatments for illnesses suffered by specific individuals. In this paper, I first address the problem of their authenticity within the framework of the so-called "Arnaldian question". The evidence presented here confirms that Arnau de Vilanova was the author of the Regimen podagre and the Epistola ad Bremundum Montisferrarii, while the question regarding the authorship of the (...) Regimen quartane and the Cura febris ethice remains unresolved. This article furthermore documents the degree to which the actual cures prescribed by the physician in the consilia agreed with the doctrinal works of the Galenic tradition. It is explained how medieval university-trained physician had to compete with other practitioners and how they tried to outrival them by applying the doctrines of learned medicine to the individual cases at hand.

Between 2017 and 2019, Barcelona was one of the first European cities to implement a basic income experiment, the B-MINCOME pilot, aimed at reducing poverty and social exclusion in a low-income area of the city. A new cash grant was designed along with a package of active policies. Four modalities of participation were then established depending on two criteria: whether attending these policies was mandatory or not, and whether participants’ additional income altered the amount of the grant or was instead (...) net added on top. The context which initially moulded the pilot is firstly explained. Then, the cash schema and the active policies are described followed by an explanation of its experimental design. The main results at individual, community and institutional levels formerly released in the official reports are now integrated and jointly addressed. Finally, conclusions discuss some issues raised by the pilot’s results in light of the findings gathered in other similar basic income experiments. (shrink)

Para entender la apologética luliana de la tolerancia debemos situar el "Llibre del gentil" (1274 / 76) en el contexto de la Mallorca de las tres religiones, de las disputas judeo-cristianas, de los sectarismos judíos y musulmanes y del cisma y heterodoxias cristianas. A partir de ahí se estudian los conceptos de "tolerancia de benevolencia" y de "tolerancia racional" en la apologético de Llull. Esta no pretende cambiar una creencia por otra, sino tender el puente de la tolerancia racional para (...) comprender la verdad de la fe, buscando la utopía de la unidad religiosa. Se trata de buscar solución al conflicto judeo-cristiano del mesianismo, por ejemplo, buscando un acercamiento a través del común concepto de esperanza, respetando las diferencias semánticas de uno y otro pensamiento.

Una de las graves dificultades para entender la filosofía de Ramon Llull es fijar las claves hermenéuticas de su pensamiento. Unos han valorado excesivamente sus formación latino-escolástica. Otros han buscado sus raíces arábicas. El presente artículo hace una revisión crítica de la bibliografía al respecto y considera que la formación científica del pensamiento luliano, siempre fuera del marco universitario de su época, es el resultado del contacto con la lengua y la ideología de los musulmanes de la post-conquista de Mallorca, (...) de la lectura directa o indirecta de textos latinos y de su presencia en las escuelas de Medicina de Montpellier.

SANDEL, Michael: The Tyranny of Merit. What’s Become of the Common Good?

This work analyzes how the internal point of view, which represents the perspective of the participant in the legal domain, can be understood within a Hartian framework. It critically examines how legal conventionalism has dealt with this issue. In particular, it criticizes the way in which contemporary conventionalists represent the perspective of participants in legal practice on the basis of cognitive mental states. It also criticizes the way in which they understand how the rule of recognition constitutes the practice. To (...) address these problems, a model based on the philosophy of recognition is presented, showing how its historicity and the way it understands conflict may help to represent the participants' perspective from a practical point of view.
