Ética socrática y moral cristiana
This article compares certain aspects of Socratic ethics and of
Christian morality. It stresses what Christian morality adds to
Socratic ethics on the basis of Revelation, and surveys certain
versions of Christian ethics which its author considers to be misguiding.
In particular, the author notes defects in Luther’s, Kant’s
and Fenelon’s ethical views, and in certain other views which
stand in clear opposition to Christian ethics, such ad that of
Nietzsche and other postmodern authors
La cibernética como lógica de la vida
Los precedentes de la cibernética se
encuentran claramente en Aristóteles, quien distingue entre operaciones vitales —-praxis—
y movimientos físicos —kinesis—, y habla de la información como modificación
de un estado de equilibrio y de la retroalimentaáón como el modo de controlar la información.
Desde ahí se descubre que en Aristóteles el modelo morfotélico es superior
al modelo hilemórfic
El descubrimiento de Dios desde el hombre
Para considerar al hombre como vía hacia Dios, es preciso,
desde el punto de vista de la filosofía, encontrar los trascendentales
que le son propios. Dichos trascendentales no aparecen en el
elenco clásico. Hay que añadir los trascendentales humanos a los
descubiertos en la Edad Media, lo cual comporta, inevitablemente,
algunas rectificaciones del planteamiento tradicional, sin las cuales
los nuevos trascendentales no serían coherentes con la formulación
antigua de esta temática. Con otras palabras, para que Dios sea
accesible desde la perspectiva antropológica es menester formular
lo que suelo llamar Antropología trascendental
Deep spectroscopic luminosity function of Abell 85: no evidence for a steep upturn of the faint-end slope
We present a new deep determination of the spectroscopic LF within the virial
radius of the nearby and massive Abell\,85 (A85) cluster down to the dwarf
regime (M* + 6) using VLT/VIMOS spectra for galaxies with m mag and mag arcsec. The
resulting LF from 438 cluster members is best modelled by a double Schechter
function due to the presence of a statistically significant upturn at the
faint-end. The amplitude of this upturn (),
however, is much smaller than that of the SDSS composite photometric cluster LF
by Popesso et al. 2006, -2. The faint-end slope of the LF in
A85 is consistent, within the uncertainties, with that of the field. The red
galaxy population dominates the LF at low luminosities, and is the main
responsible for the upturn. The fact that the slopes of the spectroscopic LFs
in the field and in a cluster as massive as A85 are similar suggests that the
cluster environment does not play a major role in determining the abundance of
low-mass galaxies.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, accepted at MNRAS lette
Universities as Corporate Entities: The Role of Social Responsibility in Their Strategic Management
Universities, as educational institutions, play a vital role in the development and improvement of the society, contributing to the welfare of citizens. Considering the social responsibility of universities with a large number of stakeholders (students, institutions, government, employees, companies, local community, etc.), this chapter aims to examine how these institutions establish the mission, objectives and strategic actions oriented at meeting these expectations. In this line, university in its daily management is also considered a corporate entity, which set up strategic plans and practices, an essential process to achieve its success in the long term. The chapter explores the necessary steps for adjusting these strategic plans to the new challeng e of introducing a socially responsible orientation in their management
