Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Appearing in English for the first time, this book comprises two of Ortega's most important works, ¿Qué es conocimiento? and the essay "Ideas y creencias." This is Ortega's attempt to systematically present the foundations of his metaphysics of human life and, on that basis, to provide a radical philosophical account of knowledge. In so doing, he criticizes idealism and overcomes it. Accordingly, this book goes well beyond a treatise on epistemology; in fact, as understood in modern philosophy, this discipline and its questions are shown to be derivative and, in that sense, they are transcended here by Ortega's systematic effort. Written during the time of his maturity, these works are representative of his fruitful and radical period. Both ¿Qué es conocimiento? and "Ideas y creencias" are equally decisive not only for the understanding and radical completion of Ortega's work, but also for their relevance to the work of continental philosophers during the same period and for years to come (e.g., Husserl, Jaspers, Heidegger, Sartre, and others).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La tradición cultural que alimentó a los grandes maestros en las aulas de institutos y universidades españolas se ha ido extinguiendo en los últimos años, como acervo incompatible con una sociedad que niega o, simplemente, ignora la entrega callada y sabia de los viejos profesores. El ruido mediático, la velocidad y vértigo de nuestro tiempo, han arrumbado vidas y trayectorias dedicadas por vocación y pasión al saber y su transmisión, como concepto inseparable del conocimiento, la ética y el civismo. Hay que retroceder a las postrimerías del siglo pasado para encontrar los últimos eslabones sueltos de lo que antaño fue una cadena brillante y sólida de pedagogía humanística y crítica, que unía sabiduría y vida como ejemplo y método de enseñanza. Es el caso de don Santiago de los Mozos, catedrático de las universidades de Granada y Valladolid en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, protagonista de este Retrato de un hombre libre; retrato intelectual, en efecto, de uno de los maestros españoles más desconocidos y, a la vez, más fascinantes del espectro universitario español contemporáneo. Su porte institucionista, aunque nunca pasó por la Institución Libre de Enseñanza, su temple maireniano, su ideario ilustrado que expresaba una inteligencia excepcional y un don de la palabra que le hicieron justamente célebre en su medio, van revelándose en esta obra a través de un agudo diálogo entre el autor y el maestro, hasta conformar un atractivo ensayo, intenso y apasionado, sobre la historia y cultura españolas en sus claves más importantes, y en sus demonios característicos y redivivos. Un retrato espléndido que desprende por doquier la natural grandeza del maestro, cuya lección ilumina con finísima ironía la España democrática que va de la Transición al año 2000. Agustín García Simón (Montemayor –Valladolid–, 1953). Editor, escritor y periodista, ha dedicado su vida profesional a la cultura del libro, aunque sigue atento a la actualidad en sus colaboraciones en distintos medios periodísticos. En los últimos treinta años ha dirigido la edición de cientos de libros, seis de los cuales han merecido premios nacionales a los libros mejor editados. Su inclinación por la historia y el humanismo le han llevado a una exigente labor editorial en la que han primado los temas y figuras más abiertos y universales de la cultura y lengua españolas de naturaleza castellana. Entre sus grandes obras como editor destacan: Historia de una Cultura (4 vols.), 1995-1996; Historia de la Ciencia y de la Técnica en la Corona de Castilla (4 vols.), 2002; o la recuperación histórica de los Viajes de extranjeros por España y Portugal (6 vols.), 1999, de don José García Mercadal. Ha publicado ensayos sobre viajes y viajeros extranjeros por España, pero como autor es conocido, fundamentalmente, por el libro que dedicó al retiro del emperador Carlos V: El ocaso del emperador. Carlos V en Yuste (1995). Como narrador se dio a conocer con una singular novela: Valcarlos (Premio Miguel Delibes de narrativa, 2005); y, sobre todo, con los doce relatos que reunió en su última obra: Cuando leas esta carta, yo habré muerto (2009).

Book excerpt: Partiendo de Debussy y llegando a Steve Reich. O empezando por Ablinger y acabando por Zimmerman. O arrancando en el impresionismo y siguiendo hasta la electroacústica. El lector puede elegir su forma de lectura en este libro torrencial, quizá el más completo escrito hasta la fecha, y no solo en español, sobre el complicado y muy diverso escenario de la música contemporánea durante el siglo XX. Vertebrada sobre itinerarios estéticos, la presente guía no deja de ser una historia de la música del siglo XX. La gran diferencia respecto a los manuales de historia estriba en la importancia que en este libro cobra el compositor, que junto al sonido es el eje fundamental del relato. (De la Introducción del autor). Relato es la palabra clave para un libro llamado a convertirse en un clásico: una obra llena de erudición, exhaustiva y utilísima como manual de referencia. Pero impregnada a la vez de amor por la música, de buen pulso narrativo y de una notable capacidad crítica.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophy and Literature in Latin America presents a unique and original view of the current state of development in Latin America of two disciplines that are at the core of the humanities. Divided into two parts, each section explores the contributions of distinguished American and Latin American experts and authors. The section on literature includes the literary activities of Latin Americans working in the United States, an area in which very little research has been demonstrated and, for that reason, will add an interesting new dimension to the field of Latin American studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Liberal Party reached power in Panama in 1912 it started a period that lasted until 1941. A period in which Panamanians, due to the special circumstances under which the country became independent, the presence of the United States, and of thousands of foreign workers in its territory, began to doubt and asked themselves if they were truly independent. The American presence impacted politics and a sense of inferiority developed because people believed that nothing could be accomplished without the blessings of the United States. In the middle of chaotic political scene and self-doubt, the country retreated to its Hispanic past and began an effort to Hispanize in the face of so much foreign presence and influence, and tried to show the world that Panama was an independent country with history and traditions, and not an appendage of the United States. Belisario Porras, who became president in 1912, emphasized the Hispanic past and built statues to Balboa and Cervantes. Acción Comunal, founded in 1923, promoted nationalism and criticized the corrupt nature of politics. It led a successful campaign against the 1926 Treaty and a coup in 1931. This new generation repudiated the generation that made the 1903 Treaty. “Panama for Panamanians” became one of the catch phrases for the Panamanian youth of the 1920’s and 1930’s, which found in the brothers Harmodio and Arnulfo Arias the leading exponents.

Book excerpt: This book brings the history of Latin American philosophy to an English-speaking audience through the prominent voices of Mauricio Beuchot, Horacio Cerutti-Guldberg, María Luisa Femenías, Jorge J. E. Gracia, Oscar R. Martí, León Olivé, Carlos Pereda, and Eduardo Rabossi. They argue that Spanish is not a philosophically irrelevant language and that there are original positions to be found in the work of Latin American philosophers. Part I of the book looks at why the history of philosophy has not developed in Latin America. A range of theoretical issues are explored, each focusing on specific problems that have hindered the development of a solid history. Part II details the complex task of writing a history of philosophy for a region still haunted by the specter of colonialism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "El hombre ¿azar o diseño?" En esta obra se hace una exposición sucinta de fenómenos y elementos materiales que conforman el universo y, por tanto, también al ser humano, como un ser que tiene cuerpo y vida, y por ello sometido a leyes físicas y biológicas, pero que se desempeña trascendiendo esta clase de leyes. El hombre no puede tener su origen sólo en la materia bruta. Los acontecimientos del cosmos que le preceden, tampoco justifican suficientemente su existencia y su naturaleza, que desborda y trasciende la materia. Siendo el hombre un ser inteligente, su existencia demanda una causa inteligente, superior a él, causa que no se encuentra ni en el azar ni en la materia. En este entramado se conjugan la filosofía, la ciencia, el arte, la historia y la religión.
