Giordano Bruno: Philosopher of the Renaissance
Author: Hilary Gatti
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351933647
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
Giordano Bruno was burnt at the stake in Rome in 1600, accused of heresy by the Inquisition. His life took him from Italy to Northern Europe and England, and finally to Venice, where he was arrested. His six dialogues in Italian, which today are considered a turning point towards the philosophy and science of the modern world, were written during his visit to Elizabethan London, as a gentleman attendant to the French Ambassador, Michel de Castelnau. He died refusing to recant views which he defined as philosophical rather than theological, and for which he claimed liberty of expression. The papers in this volume derive from a conference held in London to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Bruno's death. A number focus specifically on his experience in England, while others look at the Italian context of his thought and his impact upon others. Together they constitute a major new survey of the range of Bruno's philosophical activity, as well as evaluating his use of earlier cultural traditions and his influence on both contemporary and more modern themes and trends.

Darwin y el diseño inteligente
Author: Francisco J. Ayala

ISBN: 9788420648224
Category : Science
Languages : es
Pages : 0
Book Description
Francisco J. Ayala, biólogo y miembro de la Academia Nacional de las Ciencias de Estados Unidos, ofrece en este libro un camino para conciliar la religión y la ciencia con respecto a la evolución. Según Ayala, la ciencia y la fe religiosa no están en contradicción, ni pueden estarlo, puesto que tratan de asuntos diferentes que no se solapan. La ciencia busca descubrir y explicar los procesos de la naturaleza. La religión trata del significado y propósito del universo y de la vida, la relación entre los humanos y su Creador, y los valores morales que inspiran y guían la vida humana. La selección natural explica la evolución de las especies a través de millones de años y la adaptación de los organismos a su entorno, con ojos para ver, alas para volar, y agallas para respirar en el agua. Pero el mundo de la vida está lleno de imperfecciones, sufrimiento, crueldad, y sadismo. La espina dorsal esta mal diseñada, los depredadores devoran a sus presas, los parásitos destruyen a sus huéspedes. La selección natural da cuenta de estas calamidades, que, por ello, no necesitan ser atribuidas a mal diseño o perversidad del Creador. Según explica Ayala, la evolución por selección natural esta más de acuerdo con la fe religiosa en un Dios de amor, misericordia y sabiduría, que el llamado «diseño inteligente» que atribuye al Creador las imperfecciones del mundo de la vida. Darwin y el Diseño Inteligente proporciona la mejor introducción a Darwin y a la biología de la evolución actualmente disponible.

The Routledge Handbook to the Culture and Media of the Americas
Author: Wilfried Raussert
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351064681
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 541
Book Description
Exploring the culture and media of the Americas, this handbook places particular emphasis on collective and intertwined experiences and focuses on the transnational or hemispheric dimensions of cultural flows and geocultural imaginaries that shape the literature, arts, media and other cultural expressions in the Americas. The Routledge Handbook to the Culture and Media of the Americas charts the pervasive, asymmetrical flows of cultural products and capital and their importance in the development of the Americas. The volume offers a comprehensive understanding of how inter-American communication is constituted, framed and structured, and covers the artistic and political dimensions that have shaped literature, art and popular culture in the region. Forty-six chapters cover a range of inter-American key concepts and dynamics, divided into two parts: Literature and Music deals with inter-American entanglements of artistic expressions in the Western Hemisphere, including music, dance, literary genres and developments. Media and Visual Cultures explores the inter-American dimension of media production in the hemisphere, including cinema and television, photography and art, journalism, radio, digital culture and issues such as freedom of expression and intellectual property. This multidisciplinary approach will be of interest to a broad array of academic scholars and students in history, sociology, political science; and cultural, postcolonial, gender, literary, globalization and media studies.

Utopias in Latin America
Author: Juan Pro
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781845199821
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Latin America has historically been a fertile ground where utopian projects, movements, and experiments could take root and thrive. Each of the thirteen authors in this collective volume address a particular case or specific aspect of Latin American utopianism from colonial times to the present day. The America that the Spanish and Portuguese discovered became, from the sixteenth century onwards, a space in which it was possible to imagine the widest variety of forms of human coexistence. Utopias in Latin America reconsiders the sense and understanding of utopias in various historical frames: the discovery of indigenous cultures and their natural environments; the foundation of new towns and cities in a vast colonial territory; the experimental communities of nineteenth-century utopian socialists and European exiled intellectuals; and the innovative formulae that attempts to get beyond twentieth-century capitalism.
