En estas páginas se señala la postura de muchos académicos de ver sus áreas del saber con fronteras inamovibles o naturales, sin pensar que son producto de situaciones y de coyunturas precisas, por lo que sus límites son arbitrarios; esa idea está en consonancia con la rigidez del curriculum universitario. El espectro del conocimiento se concibe como un conjunto de compartimientos que no se pueden franquear. Llamar disciplinas a las materias...

Many scholars agree that we are currently living in post-ideological times, and that the role of religion and social ideology has become increasingly limited as a means to organise society. Some even talk of a 'post-truth' era, as truth itself has become suspect, and public debate has become infected with terms such as 'fake news' and 'alternative truths.' In fact, in many scientific areas the notions of truth, objectivity and fact are being questioned,...

10) Not This Future
Author
Description
Does anyone still remember how we anticipated the future when we were younger? We were fascinated with new technology, Sci-Fi and space travels. Here we are now, in the future, which turns out to be not so much like the future we have been looking for. We were once told that technology would make our lives easier and better, so we would have more time for ourselves.
What has happened to that promise?
If we are not careful humanity is steering...

Morality in the West is often dismissed as trivial and outdated. Concepts of good and evil are highly susceptible to interpretation, with ethics preferably set aside so as not to unduly encroach on our daily pleasures. One of the most ill-considered, unpopular, yet underrated aspects of Western society is the diminishing role of conscience. Though conscience belongs to the mechanisms governing our behaviour, its importance should not be underestimated....

Synopsis: In the last five thousand years, only six primary (or first) civilizations occurred in our human world, and such rare events were nothing but the result of special historical and environmental factors. Except China, all other five appeared on a narrow land near sea and desert. The vast mysterious sea water led prehistoric people to develop megalith culture and religion, and desert led to patriarchal and warrior culture, and narrow land led...

En una sociedad en la que «la rapidez es la única (y falsa) creatividad que nos queda», este libro invita a pararse a pensar. Su escritura minimalista crea «bancos de permanencia en las avenidas de la fugacidad».Pero las miniaturas aforísticas de Boaventura de Sousa...
