(Intellect, 2017)
This book brings together a number of prominent scholars to explore a relatively under-studied area of Marshall McLuhan’s thought: his idea of formal cause and the role that formal cause plays in the emergence of new technologies and in structuring societal relations. ©The authors ©Intellect.

Aristotle and New Spain
(Routledge, 2025-02-21)
;
González, Juan Carlos
This book is a detailed exploration of the Hispanic intellectual context and the different Aristotelian traditions that prevailed until the 16th century. Through a review and contextualisation of Aristotelian thinkers and texts, it argues that a unique Aristotelian tradition was formed in New Spain. The characteristic differences of Novohispanic Aristotelianism are a consequence of five factors: contact with the autochthonous cultures of America, the impact of the colonial organisation, the influence of the Salamanca humanist tradition, the presence of the Italian Aristotelianism of Renaissance translators in the university curricula and in the intellectual polemics of the time, and a peculiar assimilation of primitive and Old Testament Christianity in relation to indigenous people. This book analyses the works of Alonso de la Veracruz, Bartolomé de las Casas, Bernardino de Sahagún, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora, and Francisco Xavier Clavijero, reconsidering them in light of the history of ideas in New Spain and the contributions of Byzantine translators. It also offers a reflection on the problem of addressing Mexican colonial sources. This volume will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate philosophy students, as well as to researchers focused on Aristotle, Renaissance philosophy, or Latin American studies. ©The authors © Routledge

Du rythme et des opposés : Note sur Aristote Métaphysique Λ 1075b12-13 : ἐὰν μὴ ῥυθμίσῃ τις
(Librairie Philosophique J. Vrin, 2022)
Lévystone, David
The paper argues that the usual contemporary understanding and translation of Aristotle’s affirmation in Metaph. Λ, 1075b12-13 πάντες δ᾽ οἱ τἀναντία λέγοντες οὐ χρῶνται τοῖς ἐναντίοις, ἐὰν μὴ ῥυθμίσῃ τις relies on a misconception of the signification of the verb ῥυθμίζω. A short survey of the meaning and uses of the verb in vth and ivth BC texts, and a careful reading of its interpretations by the ancient commentators who paid attention to this specific passage of Aristotle (Ps.-Alexander, Aquinas, Averroes, Themistius), shows that ῥυθμίζω may be taken in its technical, metaphysical sense (to ‘form’, ‘to add a form [on matter]’), as it was found also in Democritus or Antiphon. A correct understanding of the verb leads to a new interpretation of this passage of Aristotle, by revealing a more complete and accurate criticism of the theses that he intends here to denounce. ©Librairie Philosophique J.

Analogía de negociaciones no éticas: historia y actualidad
(RAN: Revista Academia & Negocios, 2018)
;
¿En qué se parecen los casos de escándalos éticos de Barclays y Enron con los de Dionisio de Siracusa y Aristóteles de Rodas? o ¿Los escándalos de Firestone y Madoff con Cleómenes de Alejandría y Mausolo de Caria? En los primeros, el engaño es la constante, en los segundos la amenaza; parecería imposible que con 2400 años de distancia las situaciones resultantes sean las mismas. El tema de las negociaciones bajo esquemas no éticos no es exclusivo de la era actual. Existen casos documentados por el filósofo Aristóteles desde hace 2400 años que lo comprueban, algunos de ellos son los engaños, abusos de poder y autoridad, amenazas y promesas no cumplidas, que benefician a una de las partes. La importancia de actuar éticamente radica en que los beneficios son de largo plazo, a diferencia de los no-éticos, cuyo beneficio es a corto plazo. En esta revisión de literatura se analiza la existencia de semejanzas entre los tratos de negociación no éticos tanto de casos históricos como casos de la era actual. Se concluye que es necesario estar conscientes de que estos patrones se han repetido y se pueden repetir, pero además que se tienen que establecer acciones para prevenirlas.

Libro Delta: El primer léxico filosófico. ¿Llave conceptual de la Metafísica de Aristóteles?
(2021)
<jats:p>En la presente investigación se destaca la importancia del quinto libro de la Metafísica de Aristóteles, muchas veces ignorada en los planteamientos de fondo de la metafísica aristotélica, para lograr una comprensión más expedita del proyecto que representa su filosofía primera. Se estudia este extraño texto del Estagirita, como un entresijo en la ordenación clásica que insertó originalmente la edición de Andrónico de Rodas, y tal como han llegado hasta nosotros los textos de dicho proyecto aristotélico. Se resalta la interpretación del Comentario de Alejandro de Afrodisias como una de las principales autoridades dentro de la historia del aristotelismo que han hecho patente la relevancia del libro Delta. Y se explica la significación que tiene la aportación aristotélica al haber escrito, por vez primera y sin parangón alguno, el primer léxico filosófico para la posteridad, problematizando su supuesta incompletitud. La presente investigación se centra más en la forma textual y en su significación de conjunto, que en la exposición de sus contenidos puntuales.</jats:p>

The Relevance of Environmental Conditions as Causes for Animal Generation in Aristotle
(Routledge, 2023-01-01)
In this chapter, I argue against the misreading of Aristotle’s explanations about the influence of external conditions on generation. I address the relationship between celestial movements and sublunary living beings, emphasizing the natural tendency to regularity in the generative processes. The sun’s yearly cycle produces seasons that affect life and the generative predisposition of animals. The moon’s monthly cycle has an even more direct impact on the readiness of females for pregnancy. In a restricted scope, local environmental conditions prove to affect animals’ tempers, as well as some generative outcomes. Sex determination holds a notorious relation to the winds, which drives me to emphasize the influence of immediate environmental conditions along procreation. This last issue can only be thoroughly explained if there is a revision of the male’s contribution to the embryo. Provided that the male transmits the sensitive soul, the material aspect of his seed should also be considered, since important features of an animal depend on it and are susceptible to being affected by climate immediate conditions. Throughout the chapter, I compare some Aristotelian thesis to the Hippocratic text Airs, Waters, Places, since Aristotle incorporates some of its main ideas into his own generative theory. This also shows that, according to the Aristotelian works, environmental conditions belong to the scientific realm., even if secondary compared to form. ©Routledge

Aristotle on the Efficiency of Accidental Causes
(Routledge, Taylor & Francis, 2023-01-01)
In this chapter, the author reviews Aristotle’s assertions throughout the Corpus about accidental causes to show that accidental causes are generally ineffective and therefore also epistemologically irrelevant. He shows that chance and luck constitute an exception to this rule, since Aristotle conceives of them as effective, although indeterminate, accidental causes. Before talking about accidental causes, it makes sense to clarify the notion of the accidental in general. Although someone unfamiliar with the art of gastronomy could produce a mouthwatering dish with beginner’s luck, if the people really want a mouthwatering dish, it is better to ask someone who has cultivated the art of producing mouthwatering dishes to make it. This is an aspect of the doctrine of chance to which attention is not always paid and that also contains the key to understanding the topic of the efficacy of this type of accidental cause. ©Routledge, Taylor & Francis.

La semántica general: una ciencia para la vida común
(GKA Ediciones, 2023)
The language, concepts, and scientific theories from which the world and society have been built have been developed from the influence of intellectuals who dedicated their lives to building science from scratch like the ancient Greeks and more in specifically Aristotle. However, science is not attached to everyday situations, daily life, hence the theory of General Semantics by Alfred Korzybski that proposes a new non-Aristotelian theory more in line with people, with everyday life. © GKA Ediciones, authors.

Génesis del pensamiento económico: dos visiones en pugna
(2015)
In the late eighteenth century, following the publication of The Wealth of Nations (Smith, 1776), a paradigm shift emerged in the concept of the economy, characterized by a progressive “naturalization” or “depersonalization”, which is commonly accepted as the genesis of economics. From this perspective, the economy is considered a necessary process that responds to laws that are as objective as physical laws and "discovering them" becomes the economist’s proper task. This article challenges this apodictic view through an approach to the conception of economic activity in the very origins of philosophical thought – specifically in Plato and Aristotle, who both offered original proposals that structure the origin of the economic thought. This article thus aims to show that there is a close relationship between the notion of economy and the underlying anthropological conception. © Cauriensia

A Genealogy of the Gift
(2017)
This chapter takes a look at the gift, in which academic interest has recently grown, especially after the release of Benedict XVI’s social encyclical Caritas in Veritate. It outlines a genealogy of the gift, briefly presenting the three main stages of its evolution: (1) the ceremonial gift, typical of the ancient world and found in the cultural anthropological approach that the French tradition later adopted (Mauss, Caillé, Hénaff, etc.); (2) the moral gift, which Aristotle first outlined to explain the emergence of the city; and (3) the personal gift, developed in the Middle Ages thanks to Christian Revelation and its corresponding idea of the person. © Perspectives on Philosophy of Management and Business Ethics
