Martensen’s Review of Heiberg’s New Poems and the Discussion on Speculative Poetry and the Crisis of the Age

2024 , Bravo, Nassim Federico

Abstract In this article I offer an introduction to Hans Lassen Martensen’s review of Heiberg’s New Poems, published in 1841. In his treatise On the Significance of Philosophy of 1833, the poet and philosopher Johan Ludvig Heiberg presented a diagnosis of what he perceived as the cultural crisis of the time. In his view, Danish society was afflicted by a frivolous and nihilistic worldview. A Hegel enthusiast, Heiberg thought that the cure for the crisis lay in a new philosophical perspective, capable of finding the universal and infinite within the particular and finite. But this was only possible to communicate through literature and, more specifically, through what he called speculative poetry. In the following years, Heiberg and his friend and colleague Martensen developed the notion of this new genre. This didactic campaign culminated with the publication of Heiberg’s New Poems, especially the piece “A Soul after Death,” accompanied by the review composed by Martensen.

La invasión silenciosa de la tecnología inteligente. Una relectura de “Los caballos de Abdera” de L. Lugones

2020 , Esparza, Gustavo , Bravo, Nassim Federico

En el presente artículo se elucidan las fronteras epistemológicas entre el mito y la ciencia ficción dentro del cuento “Los caballos de Abdera” (Las Fuerzas extrañas). Se sostiene que la relectura mitológica desarrollada por Lugones en su cuento si bien no es ciencia ficción (CF), presenta un modelo de naturalización de los eventos fantásticos. En la primera parte se muestran las claves hermenéuticas de esta interpretación lugoniana resaltando la flexibilidad de los mitos para adaptarse a los modelos narrativos de diversas épocas; en la segunda parte, aprovechando la plasticidad del formato mítico, se analiza el proceso de habituación a través del cual se ha naturalizado el uso exagerado de la tecnología en nuestras prácticas diarias para con ello delinear uno de los tópicos recurrentes del género de la CF: las invasiones de seres extraños.

Taking on the Habit: Kierkegaardian Faith as an Aristotelian Virtue

2023 , Fernanda Rojas , Nassim Bravo

In this article, we would like to argue that the notion of faith, as seen in the anthropology that Kierkegaard presents in works such as The Sickness unto Death or Postscript, among others, shows striking similarities with the Aristotelian ethics of virtue. In a more specific manner, we wish to propose that faith can be interpreted as a virtue in the Aristotelian sense since one can find the following three aspects in it: (1) faith is a state based on habit; (2) faith makes human beings good; and (3) faith makes the human being perform her characteristic activity well. In our view, these features correspond to Aristotle’s definition of virtue: “If this is so in all cases, the virtue of a human being too will be the state that makes a human being good and makes him perform his characteristic activity well”. (Nicomachean Ethics, 1106a).

Repetition and the Art of Writing Novels

2022 , Bravo, Nassim Federico , Rojas, Fernanda

Abstract In this paper we wish to analyze how Kierkegaard understood the art of writing novels, that is, as a way to express and develop the life-view of the author. We would like to argue that this notion, presented for the first time in From the Papers of One Still Living (1838), was put into practice in the short novel Repetition (1843), in which Kierkegaard used the biblical story of Job to explain the development of selfhood through the existential category of repetition. According to Kierkegaard, true repetition—which is the central category of the life-view he is trying to convey—helps the individual “recollect” the past correctly so he or she can reconcile with the present and grow into the future.
