Item type:Publication, Aristotle and New SpainThis 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 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Du rythme et des opposés : Note sur Aristote Métaphysique Λ 1075b12-13 : ἐὰν μὴ ῥυθμίσῃ τις(Librairie Philosophique J. Vrin, 2022)Lévystone, DavidThe 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.

Item type:Publication, Analogía de negociaciones no éticas: historia y actualidad¿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.25 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, 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>13 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The Relevance of Environmental Conditions as Causes for Animal Generation in AristotleIn 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. ©Routledge26 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Aristotle on the Efficiency of Accidental CausesIn 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.24 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, 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. © Cauriensia20 2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, 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 EthicsScopus© Citations 6 13 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Eleuthería en Aristóteles(2018)The concept of eleutheria has both political and cultural connotations for the ancient Greeks. It refers to the free condition of Greek citizens as opposed to the barbarian peoples who prefer tyrannical government. Plato and Aristotle also refer to eleutheria in a moral sense, that is, as the free condition of the virtuous man. But Aristotle refers to a virtue in particular: liberality. Liberality implies the prudent use of wealth, that is, the right mean between avarice and prodigality. The exercise of this virtue has repercussions in the political sphere. Firstly, because citizenship presupposes moral virtue in itself. Secondly, because the stability of the polis lies in the core of liberality: unbridled avarice or ambition put the stability of the polis at risk. Consequently, eleutheria has a unitary sense, which goes from the private to the political sphere. ©Co-herencia51 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Aristotle’s Immovable Movers: A Sketch(2015)In keeping with a view that is explicitly formulated by Aristotle in his Motion of Animals, general kinetic principles must be specified according to the different types of movable entities existing in the universe. At issue, essentially, are the motions of the stars and the motions of animals. Whereas the cosmological immovable mover is the object of two complementary analyses (in Bk. VIII of Physics and in Chs. 6 and 7 of Bk. XII of Metaphysics), information on the immovability of the first mover responsible for animal motion is to be found in the psychological and psycho-physiological treatises (On the Soul, in Bk. I, Chs. 3 and 4, and in Bk. III, Ch. 10 and in Ch. 6 of the Motion of Animals). But it is also found in Ch. 7, Bk. XII of the Metaphysics, in the very context of the argument concerning the absolutely first immovable mover of the world. This suggests that the two types of motion, that of the stars and that of animals, however distinct the arguments about them are, rest on a single scheme, and maybe even on a common principle. This is liable to surprise us, as much as stars and animals appear to us to belong to heterogeneous orders of reality. But the situation is different for Aristotle, who, as attentive as he is to differences, tends nonetheless to conceive the stars as living things of a particular kind. This fact is the source of a series of difficulties that Aristotle generously left for his many commentators to solve. Aim of this text, which was initially directed to a larger audience, is to set some of these complex issues in both simple and up to date terms.Scopus© Citations 2 28 1
