The Dominican Approaches in Education
With eleven new contributions, this second edition of essays on the sources and principles of Dominican values in education offers an extended sample of the many settings in which Dominican education, broadly understood, finds expression. Cherished by all Dominicans, these values are exemplified not only in the lives of well-known foundational Dominicans, but also in some of those many others who, on every continent and across time, have responded in typically Dominican ways at key moments in history. Educators, activists, philosophers, teachers, preachers, artists, healers and theologians at many levels share their analyses and reflections on educating in many different contexts, explicitly and implicitly demonstrating ideals and values common to the goals of Dominican education everywhere. It is hoped that this collection, offered again in this decade of Dominican Jubilee--1206-1216 to 2006- 2016--will inform, inspire and encourage all those engaged in the great work of educating not only youth but people of all ages towards greater life and liberty.
The Meaning of Life and Death
What is the point of living? If we are all going to die anyway, if nothing will remain of whatever we achieve in this life, why should we bother trying to achieve anything in the first place? Can we be mortal and still live a meaningful life? Questions such as these have been asked for a long time, but nobody has found a conclusive answer yet. The connection between death and meaning, however, has taken centre stage in the philosophical and literary work of some of the world's greatest writers: Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Leo Tolstoy, Soren Kierkegaard, Arthur Schopenhauer, Herman Melville, Friedrich Nietzsche, William James, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Marcel Proust, and Albert Camus. This book explores their ideas, weaving a rich tapestry of concepts, voices and images, helping the reader to understand the concerns at the heart of those writers' work and uncovering common themes and stark contrasts in their understanding of what kind of world we live in and what really matters in life.
A Philosophical Journey into the Anthropocene
A Philosophical Journey into the Anthropocene: Discovering Terra Incognita presents the Anthropocene not only as a geological epoch, but rather as the potential métarécit of our age and the most faithful expression of the current zeitgeist. Insofar as the Anthropocene establishes that the human agency as technological omni-power represents a “global geophysical force” capable of altering the destiny of the Earth system, the coming of this new epoch shows that technology now embodies the subject of both history and nature. In this totalized form, technology achieves the status of an integral epochal phenomenon: the new environment for human life. Agostino Cera argues that the “technis...
Humanities
Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Lawrence Boudon became the editor in 2000. The subject categories for Volume 58 are as follows: Electronic Resources for the Humanities Art History (including ethnohistory) Literature (including translations from the Spanish and Portuguese) Philosophy: Latin American Thought Music
Hans Jonas
This book offers new perspectives on the early and formative years of the German-Jewish philosopher Hans Jonas, through innovative studies of his German and Hebrew work in pre-war Germany and Palestine.

Corps ému / Corpo Abalado
Este volume pretende demonstrar de modo renovado a “inatualidade” de Maine de Biran, entendendo-se por tal o seguinte: em Biran há algo que se torna conhecido pela primeira vez, algo que não foi percebido no seu tempo, mas continua mas continua a chamar a pensar; talvez a aparente inatualidade de Biran seja, pois, na contraluz do modo como veio a nutrir subterraneamente a contemporaneidade filosófica, o modo de um pensamento original ensaiar recorrentemente o seu regresso em tempos mais propícios ao reconhecimento do seu alcance e do seu vigor.

A profundidade e a extensão das transformações que hoje vivenciamos parecem atingir seu ápice com a Inteligência Artificial. A automação oferecida pelas máquinas com seus sistemas digitais abrem possibilidades imprevisíveis que podem criar um sistema mágico, onde as soluções mais inusitadas advêm de um mecanismo ou de um "sujeito" oculto disponível a servir os seus usuários como uma espécie de feiticeiro ou de divina providência. As perguntas técnicas são respondidas pelos especialistas que costumam dizer que estamos apenas no começo de uma incomparável virada histórica. O livro oferece reflexões que indicam rumos e desafios para essas perguntas.
